New car. Advice would be nice

[Aaz]

With me doing doing the milage and petrol proces getting lower I am tempted to go back to petrol power again and as I miss my Ibiza Bocanegrait seems like a good idea. With my budget im looking at around £10/11k*

Just unsure of what to really go for at the moment these are what I have been looking at, if anyone has any experience with the please let me know what you think, as much info as I can get will be great! *

Audi A3 1.8TFSI S Line
Audi A3 S Line 2.0TFSI
Alfa Romeo Guilieta 1.4 TB 170
Alfa Romeo Guilieta 1.75 TB
SEAT Leon FR 2.0 TSI
VW Golf GTI
VW Scirroco 2.0 TSI*

strange how they are all good cars, but i wouldn't swap any of them for your fl leon... sorry no help I know

Golf GTI or A3 2.0 for me (after the Leon of course)

10k/11k can get you...

- Audi A3 2.0 TFSI Quattro - I miss the feel and build quality of an Audi compared to my Seat. You'll love the handling of Quattro in the dry, wet, and especially the snow! (If we get any snow lol)

- Seat Leon Cupra or Cupra K1

- Mk6 Golf GTI but with 70k+ mileage

- A very good low mileage and well spec'd Mk5 Golf GTI (similar to the A3 2.0 TFSI but remember this is FWD)

so long as the a3 was a facelift (aka Mk6 golf year) then id go with that if you wanted to, then remap the things to the fullest! be quite unique as i bet most tuned audi's are S3s.

you would get a facelift cupra for that money

true but the idea of the a 4wd IHI turbo always sounded appealing to me. If its got the valvelift thingy, I thought i saw APR making 300 odd bhp from a stage 2 map on them!

Thanks for the replys! I will take them into consideration, think I will go and test drive what I can then see what I prefer, test drove a Rocco a few months ago and it was great, although not too practical but still great!

What are people views on petrol cars over 70k miles, i know the new engines will last ages but should i look for lower miles?

Golf GTi, Audi's are nice but the engine is still located to far up front causing poor handling for me..

honestly if you want more power go 4wd
thats the 'only' reason im selling up
