So with financial issues forcing the sale of my golf :sad1: (will be advertised when i hit 25 posts) , I ask what would you recomend next? looking at a smaller option, thought of lupos or fox's? May be even a Mini, any sugguestions ??

Sorry to hear it bud.
-
Shame to hear about your forced sale, never a good thing :sad1:
Lupo GTi gets my vote, if i wasnt 6ft 3 i would already own one :wink: superb little cars, good residuals too
the fox is a waste of metal and would only disappoint you, you'd be wiser buying a polo :happy2:
-
Had a fox as a loan car once - absolute rubbish.
Polo gets my vote.
-
What sort of money are you looking to spend on a replacement?
I'd look at:
polo 1.9 tdi sports - 100bhp quite quick, 50+ mpg and cheap tax. Circa £2500 - £4000
Ibiza sport/fr 1.9 tdi - 130 bhp as above really - £2000 - £5000
Fabia VRS 1.9 tdi - 130 bhp " " £3000 onwards
Diesels arent everyone's cup of tea but for the money, you're getting a nippy, cheap to run little car with any of the above
:happy2:

Lupo GTi :happy2: I have a seriously big soft spot for them after ultimate dubs. Even gonna talk my lil brother into getting one for his first car :evilgrin:
Or
Polo GTi mk5 (I think) the one with the 1.8T engine
Or
Clio Sport 197's are going cheap now, I had one for a few months and I couldn't fault it :happy2: (I'm now off to hide behind the sofa) :popcornsoda:
-
From a golf to a fox :surprised: . that would be a regretable change.
If you are looking into R53 Mini's, they always require work doing & parts replacements.
Polo or Ibiza

I like the sound of lupo GTI's , but think there slightly out of budget, the budget would be 2-3 K roughly .. diesel may be the way forward :smiley:
