I wouldn't personally no, I never feel comfortable leaving my car in a public car park or similar overnight, it's bad enough leaving it on the road for work lol

Yes, it is only a golf, one of the best bits about them if they can be left anywhere and blend in.

Depends on the car park and security

I'd go for a lower floor as near to the entrance as possible, I have done it before with more desirable cars and been okay.

Probably not a good idea to do it consistently so you can allow someone to prepare and plan

I would if the car park was manned 24 hours and secure. If it is Brum you are visiting the one at the Mailbox is spot on!  :happy2:

Be careful where you park around the city centre. Mailbox is okay. Not had issues with parking in NCP opposite selfridges or the where AMC is.

Somebody on here had car damage from parking in the one behind Tescos at the Five ways roundabout.

Another vote for the Mailbox.  They play piped chilled beats in the car park there so it must be alright!

There's a multi-storey car park round the back of Brindley Place just off Broad Street which is OK.  I've left my GTi in there whilst at the NIA and stuff but haven't left it overnight.

I have in the past and still would but by god I'm nervous while its there. Its more the inconsiderate pr*ck opening his door than anything else that concerns me, especially the more modern ones where the spaces are uber slim!

There are usually Ferraris and all sorts parked in there. Ive left cars parked in the car park for several hours, but never overnight.
