What car to buy?
I'm looking at changing my car fairly soon as was thinking of a MkV GTI, but having gone to some car web-sites I'm also in mind of a number of others, e.g.:
VW MkV Golf GT
Merc-Benz CLK200 (prob 2nd hand given prices)
Audi A3/S3
Audi A4 - 2.0/1.8T
If you own one of the above or have test driven them and bought it or something else can you give me your opinions or even some alternatives that you found great.
I won't be going off-road so not looking at any 4x4's
Many thanks.

Go for the V Dub .. my Sister works for them. She brings home cars for me to drive all the time, Golf GTi, Eos, etc. The MB and Audi have a higher cost of ownership (Parts, Labor, etc.).
Wise move not going for a 4x4, My Freelander has just gone BANG!! Steer well clear.
any toyota and you cant go wrong
Honda Civic R Type, absolutely f*?in nuts mate!
mercedes...
buy a ford.do you need help deciding where to eat tonight or can you do that on your own?
VW Corrado VR6 Storm..
you can still find good examples of these, think N reg were the last built.
i know it's a bit old, but who wants to drive a ford focus or some shite like that when you can have a classic real mans motor for much less cash - you will stand out from the crowd.

I'd go for a VW Golf.
I have a Mk III.. and it's great! So I suppose the Mk V would be even better!
Though I don't know much about Audi nor Mercedes, I reckon German marques are much better in quality and performance than possible all others! So I guess whatever car on the list you go for, it's worth it!
personally i'd steer well clear of merc's they're totally unreliable i used to work in a merc garage audi s3 would be my preferance
It depends what do you need the car for? If you have a family or usually travel with more than one passenger I should suggest the A4.
If you are looking for something sportier I should recomend the S3 given its power, sports look and has a better quality and technology than any WV eventhough hey are sister companies. Or why don't you try the BMW 130 goes from 0-100km/h in less than 5 seconds. Also the S3 and BMW have better quality interiors, sound, etc. On the CLK I don't have many comments since I don't like it.
havent test driven (plan to) but luvin the new golf gt!what a great idea
i can recommend mercedes S class, even second hand they are blinding, other than that a TVR cerbera.
hope this helps
Well I'm just going out for a long drive in my new (second-hand, but new to me) car. It's a Citroen Picasso - and I love it. It's got to be the most practical all-rounder car that I have ever come across - great for moving stuff, great if you have kids and great if you have elderly passengers who find it difficult to get in and out of regular cars that have a lip at the bottom of the door. It is also like a Tardis - it's just so big inside, but only the size of a regular family saloon.
Audi A4 is your best bet of those listed. Great all around car.
Agreed Any Toyota and you will undoubtedly be happy. Over the years, I have some very old toyotas, one with over 300K miles on it. Poor old thing always got through emissions with no problem, and always started, and ran.
My new 1.5 is great, about 9 miles/litre of cheapest petrol, fast, dependable, and great for emissions. The old toyotas were so great that I couldn't help buying new.
Admittedly there are vehicles with better mileage, but dependability counts much for me, or did before I changed unis--before I had to drive 100 miles one way to get to my campus and the house I used.
The old 2.2 got me there, rattling and carrying on, but it never failed me.
Good luck, and I hope you find just the right car-- it is a big decision, a good one can be your best mate for years to come!
