New Car

[el duder]

Congrats! What did you get?

VW Golf Match. The iPod connection is pretty cool. Although its not as easy to use as it should be. Only plays playlists really. Doesnt give you the name of the songs on the CD Player.

well done, and now it has 100 miles on the clock, its worth 2/3 of what is was when you picked it up. But then again it is rather nice picking up a new car, I did this with the Jag, but again you loose lots of money on it in the first few months, but if you intend to keep it for years does it matter??

Yes, it does matter! When the car is three years old it will still have done as many miles as if you had bought a year old one and driven it for two years. I really don't see the sense in buying a brand new car. Don't get me wrong, I could have bought new last time but it just seemed like wasted money to me.

I got a one year old Golf TDi a couple of years ago, would not have touched a petrol one. Seems like you are good at making bad decisions regarding cars

It may be an overpriced bad car, but it has an iPod connection, so can't all be bad eh?

Yeah it has something to plug your unreliable, poorly built Mp3 player into

Aha, that makes it a bit better value then!

Still should have gone for the diesel though

How much are they going for retail price? I got mine brand new from the factory for about £12k

[Spacecadet]

No i went for 1.6 FSI Petrol Engine.

Everyone keeps telling me i should have gone for the diesel?

As they said on top gear

"1.6 has "entry level" written all over it"

Well it is my first proper car. Id say the 1.4 would be 'entry level'
