    Re: Can't decide upon new car.

    Often it's the more exciting cars where salesmen will allow deviaition from test drive route A.

    I had two extended drives in the ignis with the salesman. He pretty much said, go where ever.. so I drove it to my home lanes and threw it around them for a while.. I think he might have soiled himself.. but I was sold haha

    The same can't be said for citroen or renault dealers from personal experience.

    Put a deposit down on a dark metallic grey Cupra K1. If the Scirocco fails to blow me away this Sat, I think that's what I'll be getting.

    Why have you paid a dipper on a car when you're still looking at other cars?

    Surely you'll lose the dipper if you change your mind?

    Dipper? I guess deposit is the wrong word. They're holding it for me 'till Saturday.

    The car was good. But don't get me wrong, they were all good. Think the Scirocco gets the edge though, I'm 6'3" and just about got my head in the back, but leg room was ample, that was my major gripe with that. I think the Cupra is just a little too jarring on roads in the 10-40 mph range, I'd probably get used to it but over long journeys and carrying passengers might not be so nice. Think I may put a deposit on the Scirocco.

    Re: Can't decide upon new car.

    I don't think the golf GTi is powerful enough. I mean it's a big gap, but i'd save up for the R32, it's HAWT!
