Tony,

I've got a Golf Mk4 GTi 1.8t (180bhp version). It's got all the options on it and goes like stink. Still getting 34 mpg too

I would say stay clear of the lexus ls200, my friend has one and its a nice car etc but he has gone thru 2 clutches on it in 3 years. 
it might be the way he drives but still 2 clutches is a bit much,

i have an anniversary MK4 golf gti 1.8t (not a real anniversary) but has genuine vw kit fitted with audi tt 18"alloys and eibach suspension
and its unbrakeable i kill it everywhere and never do a thing to it, i can honestly say the best car i`v had in terms of reliability and its good all round for me if i wanna drive like a nob or when we got out with the kids. 

A good friend of mine has just sold a clio 172 cup he had from new, in two years it a a couple of head gaskets, two engine mounts and a drive shaft. He got so pissed of with it he`s replaced it with a new golf gti

i have owned the 330ci coupe ... completely different to the 2 ltr but the chassis is amazing,,, so still and planted .. the rear wheel drive is amazing..
I currently have an M3 so nothing to compare really ....

to be honest if I was on a budget I would go for the golf...... if i wasn't then the beemer....

all about german cars ... and jap bike

[ZX10R-RACER]

  audi rs4

[tony83]

yeah main reason i fancy a beemer is the rear wheel drive 

[GRNINJA]

i'd take ya out in the M3 but you live miles away
