Not thought about a Leon either- will look into those too. Thanks!

Lol!!!

I know I'm trying to have my cake & eat it, but I wouldn't want to take a step backwards in terms of performance, which a Golf TDi would probably be, although if I'm honest it's probably the most sensible option. Would love a DC5, but like I said cannot really go over 8 grand, which looks...

Thanks for this. Do you know what they're like to drive? I've seen mixed reviews, tbh.

Haha- love it!!!! Would absolutely love to have a play in one of those, but has to be for commuting as well as weekends, so need something a little more tame unfortunately. Not thought about the Meg though, thanks for that one- For those with experience of the Meg, am I likely to be able to...

Was behind you for a while- had a friendly play- too much traffic though.

gti? Thought they were slower & way more expensive?

Work's taking me far & wide at the moment- done 8,000 miles in the last 4-5 months. Don't think it will stay like it, but would be nervous about buying anything with more than high 20's milage at the moment. Did you have something in mind?

The Mrs has a Vectra which we use for ferrying said littlun- this would just be for me, for fun & commuting.

Love my 172 but doing so many miles with work at the moment that I need to swap before the milage goes too high, & got a real dilemma what to go for next. Will have maybe up to eight grand to play with after selling current car (1yr old baby prevents me from justifying spending any more)...

Did a regular work run this morning from Brighton over to Winchester- filled up near Chichester & re-set the computer; then got slowed down by busy traffic for the rest of the journey (max- 75 on the motorway) & when I arrived couldn't believe the difference this made to my mpg! Got nearly...

Why list it then? what am I missing?

Spotted early this morning- parked a few spaces along from me.

Slightly off the original subject, but I normally use Super-unleaded in my 172, & I usually fill up at Tesco's, but somebody told me recently that all the supermarket's high-octane unleaded doesn't have the additives in it- anyone know if this is true?

p.s. Has anyone found a use yet for that little cubby-hole to the right of the steering column?! (see pic above) I don't think anything I've put in there has ever lasted more than 5 minutes! ...was even thinking of putting a rubber strip in there to make it grippy..

Cheers, Mine's on a 52 plate so must be an early one.

That's fine when I'm driving on my own, but when I've my 1 year old daughter as a passenger I'd be happy to be known as a 'wimp' if means we're safer... So was it an optional extra then?

Hi all, Was wondering the above, as I've never detected a hint of traction control on my 172; for example it'll spin really easily if it's wet & I pull away at the lights with a slightly heavy foot. Looked in the manual, & there's a switch to turn the ESP off (to right of steering wheel)...

Diff. companies then-I'm with 4D. Haven't had my 172 long- funny how you start noticing them around more as soon as you own one!

Spotted in a work car park today- Cliosport sticker in back window. Be interested to know if we work for same company...

Sounds like mine- it's pitch dark down there so well spotted!
