Is it me or has the mk2 punto aged very well?

Yeah, I think so too. Nice looking lights and clean lines on it.

Id say it has aged much better than the mk3.
Always liked the mk2. Have a mk2 and mk4. Great cars

Yeh, aged well in photos which is all that's left as they didn't age so well under the bonnet.

Those 1.2 engines seem quite reliable and economic. They're also non interference which is a plus. Not powerful at all though.

The interior is kinda dated but I like the simplicity of it. The cup holders are great and lots of little compartments.

After it's weekly wash I like the taillamps especially the LED feature. .

At least you got a chance to wash them. I've 2 sorry looking cars outside, but it's too wet and windy to get out to them

I didn't wash my own but I might tomorrow most of my work involves being out in the wind and rain so it makes no difference. .

It's reliable and quite efficient enough as I average around 35-40 mpg with a mix of city and country driving. It does need a few things done, like a new alternator, runs smooth otherwise.

Mine's the 16v sporting model, so it's got a bit of punch, not much, but enough to make it not too boring.

I don't have cupholders

My last ever photo of the Corolla.. Even the Mondeo made an appearance to say its goodbyes

Gone to Wexford, hopefully the new owner will take as much care of it as I did (or tried to anyways).

apologies for my lack of photography skills

Mk4.. I reckon it must nearly be one of the last Mk4's made as its 2004, and the Mk5 came out that year didnt it?

Ya, I've seen a good few 2005 mk4's though.

What made you go from the corolla to the golf?

Im going to be travelling from Waterford to Tipperary (90km) each day so I guess a diesel may be more suitable (180km trip in total a day).

The Golf is much more sturdier and nicer to drive on the road too IMO.

To be fair, as much as people seem to think they're terrible, I quite like the Mk4.

A good example of a TDI one is going to be a better car than a 1.4 Corolla, I would agree with you.

Good luck with it!

Should that grille not be colour coded? Looks different.

They usually are. Looks better black anyway.

Placed a deposit on this today.



Was very impressed, can't wait to pick it up later in the week.

Audi S3 alloys by the looks of it, they are usually 17" I think. Suit the car really well

Best of luck with it!

B6 Avant, very nice choice.
