Get yourself the RNS510 DVD satnav, it's expensive but imho the best option by far!MrACD wrote:Yeah I plan to get someone who approves lol !
But the single life is appealing at the moment so !
I may slap some more extras on now as i will have loads more money left.... Silver lining and all that
You make it sound like she was a real financial drain!

Oh, and now with only one house, maybe you can also afford the extra cost of running a petrol?

Re: The Missus isn't going to approve......
Oh, and whilst you're at it, if you drive in traffic a lot, get the DSG too. It also sounds a lot nicer when it changes gearMrACD wrote:You know what, I didn't think of that one!

Re: The Missus isn't going to approve......
I have decided to stick with current config and just add Dynaudio !!
I did toy with the idea of going for the petrol 2.0......... but I know i'll be more than happy with the Tdi so........... That's that !
I now await all your comments regarding engine choice lol

I used to have a 143bhp BMW 118d, and that engine is very similar to the 140tdi. I must say, although nice around town, it really doesn't feel or sound like a sporty car and lacks a bit in the high end
Personally, I'd say at least take a test drive in a 200bhp petrol if you haven't already, and then make up your mind
if you have already, then I rest my case and fair play to you!

Well usually i'd say yes i've test drove it to get people off my back, but truth is I haven't !!jc74 wrote: I'd say at least take a test drive in a 200bhp petrol if you haven't already, and then make up your mind![]()

I did have the Mk5 Gti Golf with that same engine, I think its slightly different in torque delivery (think I read it somewhere).
I'd like to go for the petrol but im going to stick with this for a bit..... Maybe I'll get the 'R' after !
