Cool just thinking of a 172 - quick, nice amount of standard equipment, decent re-sale value, sweet car..
Golf tdi 150 diesel - 236 lb/ft torque, easily tuneable, can get 19s on it without a problem, big boot...more sensible option i suppose..
Arrrgh! cant decide!! wot to buy??
As an all rounder what would be the better car? Course they are very different propositions, but which would you choose? The out and out performance of the clio or the Huuuge massive splattering of torque in the golf?
