I need a car i can tow better with my bikes and to chuck all my enduro bike stuff when i start to do more hare and hound events on it.
So trawling ebay decided i wanted a passat and i know this is only a 1.6 but will be more than powerfull enough and also good ish fuel econimy.
Hopefully collecting it at the weekend.

Cheap enough so should be good for a while.

Its a bargain tbf. Looks in good condition.
I imagine it will be painfully slow though. My work mate has a 1.8 20v estate (dubz) and it is hidious. Everytime you come to a hill you have to knock it down a gear thus does high 20's to the gallon.

I don't care about the speed tbh. My Astra will be fine for that with the 2.2. My viva is very very very slow with a 1159 but I drive it and the pace doesn't bother me!

I know but sometimes having small engines in cars makes them hard work to keep up with flow of traffic, keeping constant speed up hills and stuff.

I'm after something similar to tow my bike around. Been offered a Golf GT TDi for a good price with tow bar already fitted. But dont know if i want to potentially bugger it up by chucking my Motocross gear in and out of it.

non turbo. Doesnt move in a passat estate and its wank of fuel. It drives my mate mad, hence why he has gone ''dubz" and drives around on 20 inch rims, - 764mm on the coilovers doing 14 miles an hour everywhere
