My new Golf

jimmymac · December 21st, 2006, 4:51 PM

No full details yet but reckon we could have a fun guessing game with this one, the winner will receive a prize of a PM from me saying congratulations...wooooooooo

Basically the deal is I have a company car coming soon to replace my Audi A3. Details I have so far are that it has a CD player and Air con in it. The car itself was previously a senior reps car so above my normal allowance. Pretty sure the new price allowance for me is around the £18,000 mark so its intial value can be above that.

So until I am emailed the details it could be a 1.6 or it could be an R32..I just don't know. Should find out soon though, anyone want to hazard a guess?

Pics will follow once it arrives images/smilies/smile.gif

The 2.0l TDi is a very nice engine.. images/smilies/wink.gif

Even in the Passat, the 140hp version pulls nicely, don't you get it with 170hp? That would be very nice in a Golf. And ecc-onomical (thanks, James). Drove a very bendy road, lots of breaking and accelerating, as I am not a very economical driver, still, the Passat got 0.5 litres per 10km. Which is quite nice.

jimmymac · December 23rd, 2006, 4:01 PM

well the news I have had since was a very brief phonecall from the fleet manager, just to say its a 2.0 5 door

nothing about what version of the 2.0 it is though, could be petrol or diesel.

However I did meet up with another rep yesterday who has a golf ( a bit older though) and its lovely specced out inside and out, all leather, climate control, cd changer etc, nice alloys. So hopefully something along those lines.

I take delivery mid January but may hear more by email soon images/smilies/smile.gif

nomix · December 23rd, 2006, 6:01 PM

Let's hope it's the diesel, it SUCH a good engine! images/smilies/smile.gif

ahpadt · December 24th, 2006, 12:24 PM

GT?

jimmymac · January 4th, 2007, 9:11 PM

ok its near arrival, have a few more glints of info from people.

Its the 140bhp version...guessing thats the 2.0 TDI

Apparantly the lad who had it before me spent at least £750 of his own money on extra's, manager reckons its properly kitted out but don't know how much he knows about cars. Although the lad its coming from was apparantly a bit of a car buff.

Only downside is that its had a prang on the rear, caught in a car park or something but its already through insurance and going to be repaired in couple of weeks.

Being delivered either saturday or monday images/smilies/smile.gif

More likely the diesel, company rebates and tax incentives push them towards diesels. It's a company lease right? It'll be a proper oilburner then.

jimmymac · July 6th, 2007, 5:38 PM

Ok its about time i got mine posted up here, especially as its currently clean and spangly images/smilies/smile.gif
