My mates just inherited about £30 grand so he's on the look out for a car. He test drove the new pug 206 GTI 180 and fell in love with it but its £15000 to buy, £2500 insurance and he's gotta wait 6 months cos there's a waiting list!!
Is it just me, or are they just not all they're made up to be?

of course he would always invest/save it, but that would be stupid right.

you're right, it would be stupid!! He likes it cos its got 180bhp and already has 17's, bucket seats, sport exhaust, but at the end of the day, it still looks like a normal 206!

He says he fell in love with it after the test drive cos it was so fast. Fair enough its 180 bhp but he could get a lot more for a lot less.
