yiman 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Have just moved jobs and am considering taking up the company car option. Brand snobbery prevents me from straying too far away from VW, so it may have to be goodbye to the VR6.So.....do I go for the Gt Tdi which would cost me only Link to post Share on other sites

stu h 0 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'd probably go for the tdi, if you've got the option - stick a couple of toys on it for an extra few quid a month.a guy i work with was determined to get a 1 series bmw company car, I managed to talk him into test driving an A3 TDI, got one and- he absolutely loves it!!

yiman 0 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Yes, these are monthly figures. The Tdi figure would be bumpedup a bit by the need to add the aircon optional extra. Had a sit in the Tdi in the showroom yesterday and it looks very bland - doesn't feel like an Link to post Share on other sites
TVR6 0 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Did you say the GT-TDi, its' a lovely car, a colleague of mine has one and is very happy with it. Did you know that VW now have a mods division called Sportsline I think (?) I'm n ot sure if it's VW or dealer specific. I came across it a few weeks back by accident. Point is, you can have her chipped by VW and not lose your warranty !lol Link to post Share on other sites

TVR6 0 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 You're probably right Ingham but i could have sworn I saw it attached to a VW dealership website. It was touted as their 'new line' in after market performance upgrades. Link to post Share on other sites

IbiVR 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I had a PD 150 TDI bora, swapped it in decemebr for a mk5 gt tdi 140.Put all the toys on it, climate, cd changer, pearl mettallic paint, 17" 5 spokes, gti handling pack, winter pack, electric pack etcetcetcetce.Its not bad but the bora was better. Still its cheap enough in tax - 60 odd quid a month, so cant complain. Link to post Share on other sites
