looking to change cars pretty soon, but cant decide on what to get. Ive narrowed it down to the Golf, Focus and the Astra.

Looking to spend around £6.5k and higest insurance is about a group 10 (due to points/age etc)

Heres some stats about them:

1.8 Golf GTi 3d MK4
1.8 20v
125bhp
125 mph top speed
0-60: 9.6seconds
34 mpg
IG 10

Ford Focus 2.0 Zetec 3d
2.0 16v
128 bhp
125 mph
0-60: 8.9secs
32mpg
IG 9

Vauxhall Astra 1.8i 16V SRi 3d (AC) MK 4
1.8 16v
123bhp
127 mph
0-60: 8.5secs
37mpg
IG 9


The astra is the quickest to 60, but i prefer the looks of the golf. But the focus comes with loads of extras and can get a lower mileage.

Im baffled

get a golf TDI

ive got a 110 bora (same car) sitting on my drive at the mo, there not bad, diffrent injectors and turbo are only diffrence to 130

by tuning box chewy means a box that plugs into the ECU and fools it to supply more fuel there fore more power

Revo is a serial port remapp and much better IMO, not in power terms, just more professional if you see what i mean
