Think i might buy this golf ...

[Cliosaregay]

seen this locally for sale, i personally really like it! (would change the plates though!)
its a nice upgrade from my current car! 2litre, 105bhp, 50mpg+ wheres as currently on my clio i've got a 1.2,70bhp and 30mpg!


What do people think?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Looks awful.

Diesel I presume with those specs ?

 

[fletch8]

Looks awful.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Nice!

 

[StevenMc29]

Got to be nicer examples about!

 

[Matt W]

Don't like the headlights or wheels or tinted windows or engine or 5 doors or wind deflectors or number plates or colour.

Bud uvver dan dat, is well sick innit.

 

[ekaJ]

5 doors.

How would you insure it? I thought you couldnt add suspension mods you mentioned previously?

Gone from a mk5 golf to my Clio 172. Mine was 3door very comfortable and well made. BORING AS EVER TO DRIVE. Also very expensive when they go wrong, £500 for 1 Sensor for example!

 

[SC03OTT]

Meh, it's alright. It's also the 1.9TDI, not the 2.0TDI. The 1.9 is the more reliable engine, from what I've picked up.

Which sensor was that?

Love our golf. Mk5 2.0FSi Quick, Good on Fuel and not bad looking. Rides abit harsh though.

105bhp from a 2 litre?? I'd want the 170bhp or nothing!

I thought that. Americans could get more out of it than that!

 

[.GAZ.]

105bhp? That's a 1.9 unit.

 

[The Boosh!]

Maps well iirc. Still poor.

SDI iirc POS

It does have less arch gap than your clio though, so atleast youd have the gap police off your back.

You've talked about lowering the Clio for ages, and insurance or whatever gets in the way so how do you plan on insuring a mk5 modified golf!?

Saving up for coilovers IIRC.

CS rules innit ?

 

[Cub.]

Good points - lower than your clio.

Bad points - quite a lot, but Daves 'Bradford' comment sums most of them up.

Oh, I'm not being mean here by the way, I'm genuinely just giving my opinion

 

[alexr19]

Not a fan personally. And it's a diesel golf. My friend has one and its slow, boring and for the money he paid for it and to insure it he cold have had something much more enjoyable

 

[kpowell911]

I quite like that!

 

[SC03OTT]

SDI iirc POS

Nope.

 

[Mark-F]

Nope.

ok, was sure 105ps is/was SDI?

This. Don't do it, though you probably won't listen.

 

[ColinG]

Not a massive fan!

Totally standard golfs are rarer these days than the whole scene BBS (reps) lowered and same styling mods everywhere

Ive got a 2 litre diesel, thats 220bhp with 360flb. And thats a vag engine in my leon. If you gonna go diesel make it worth while, and that gets 44/54 mpg.
