Jowey Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 mk2 Scirccos look crap, the over hangs are huge the rear windows too big and its pretty much a 'modernised ' version of the mk1mk1's are retro cool and have a number of different sized engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Get a mk2 golf or something to ease yoursefl into the old skool!! I'd not bother with a scirocco unless it was a nice mk1, mk2's are shite as has been said already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardaft Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 mutters under breath... nissan almeraAh, it could be worse! ... erm, maybe Why not buy an Arosa sport or something instead of the scirroco? Cheaper to run and insure and cheaper to keep it running, probably more reliable. Save the money from the dull-mobile (almera!) and spend what you were going to on the VW on a nice sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jowey Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 £1400 could be spent on better things dude and you know it air con and leather is all very well but do you honestly need it ? I vote mk2, pick a fairly tidy one for £700 bucks .. and then all that spare cash to play with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardaft Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Oh dear god, there is an almera forum! Whatever next I can see its a good deal, and if its only for a short time then its possibly a good idea, aslong as you can replace the almera withough having to sell it for its money first, then ownership could drag on! Im not sure how well almeras sell, there are so many better mid sized cars aroung. We have a stilo for sale and i carnt see us ever selling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) blue leather eww , bloomin japs !Lovely!If i were you id do the deal with the person on the almera forum and get your 500 and their seats, it will probably add value to your car!
