Buy a car with your head or your heart

You could argue that old Golfs have far more character, but they are old. So you can quickly fall out of love with them when the reliability issues start rearing their head. And that sums up many cars that have so called character: what price does that character have and is that why you ended up in a Golf to start with? ie. You've got fed up with moody characterful cars so went for a safer option. Safe options are normally a bit dull.

....I wouldn't describe the standard oem Mk5 GTI/Ed30 as dull but modifying them certainly makes them great fun and long term.

I buy a car with my heart.. I do almost everything with my heart. My head usually gets locked into and left in the garden shed if it tries to be too much of a Captain Sensible. There's a balance but my heart always has the last say. It's why I cancelled my dull grey TDI order for a throbbin' red GTI - Thank Goodness I did!!!!

I love my cars, and enjoy my time in each one. Think of it like food, everyone has a favourite dish but if you eat that dish over and over you'll get bored of it, try a new flavour there's so much to taste out there and you can always return to your favourite.
I've owned so many now and sometimes the sheer lack of power, comfort etc can be the very thing that makes a car appealing. My most loved car ever was an astra 1.6 merit estate, before that was was a hot hatch and after was a luxurious 4x4 but the astra was so different that's what appealed!
Lifes to short not to play, buy with your head but choose with your heart :innocent:

A bit of a contradiction there RR! Its not dull but modifying makes them great fun, so before they are modded they are not great fun?
Dont think ill ever love a car as much as my R32, it had loads of character, a great noise and looked superb! Im sure the S3 will be close but i know im always going to miss the noise and the sheer 'jaw dropped' looks of people seeing a golf make it :smiley:
