, but you can get a 2.3 V5 of 2.84Motion for far less than Golf equivalent, and i had one (a Tdi) a few years back as a company car and it was really rather good.

As promised a review of my Leon at 5,500 miles and 4 months For comparison, my previous car was a Toledo 110 TDi (old, non-PD lump) and my wife?s car is an Octavia 2.0 TDi with the 140bhp engine. Overall I?m very pleased with the car. It still looks distinctive in a way the Golf never will without -

Dodgy mechanics 16 Oct 2004 (Forum)
apologise in advance for the long post... I\'m going to try and be as calm as possible, because right now, I am fuming. My clutch is playing up on my car, so I took it back to the garage I had it done at to have it looked at/fixed (it\'s 4 months and 5000 miles under a 2 year/20000 miles -
1999 Passat Electrics, niggles 17 Sep 2004 (Forum)
. At the start of the year, I did briefly experience a problem with the rear N/S passenger door refusing to unlock when pressing the button on the remote key, but this seemed to go away after happening intermittently three or four times. It's not a major worry if this is all that might happen (I rarely use -

A car drowned in the sea..... 6 Jan 2003 (Forum)
car jets twice, and then garaged it up my in-laws, took all the mats out and cleaned them (there was quite a bit of sand in them), soaked as much water as I could out of the footwells (the carpets were absolutely s**den) and left the car to dry out for a couple of days. After that, I never really -

Wonderful Range Rover USA service 13 Dec 2001 (Forum)
Jag had all the bells and whistles including a fancy Navigation system that was actualy better than the one in the new Range Rover they let me use (7" screen rather than 5") (BTW I was very impresed with the new X type and I found it's driving position nicer than the S type). There was a posting last -
Interest free 29 May 2024 (Forum)
speed had nothing to do with it. I think the last car I really fancied was my neighbours bright red Fiat 500 Arbath, but it’s a bit too small to work for us even as a second car. Beyond that I’m drifting back to the early naughties or even the 90’s. I’ve driven a recent Golf GTi and found it no fun -
Grand estates 5 May 2020 (Forum)
Ghia again drive well and had tonnes of space. The Mondeo Mk I and Mk I facelift were all great especially the V6’s. The Focus Mk I was a joy to drive yet practical and the Mk II largely the same if a bit less interesting to look at. The late Scorpio estate was a great big slush-mobile too in V6 spec -
