I'll let ye know tomorrow.

The alloys on the gt 2.0 suit it so well, compared to the 16's as standard. Give it to me in black or red and I'm sold! That'll probably change again though.
CIP4 wrote: » Yep well most likely of some description. Although I really like the new shape Jetta so would be between either that or a golf. If I got golf not sure what model I still like the mk5 but wouldn't buy another bxe 1.9tdi and 2.0tdi are near impossible to get clean. I'm still not sure about the mk7 I think I prefer the mk6 in highline spec. I'd like a 140 but again very difficult to get and insurance may be an issue although shouldn't be by then. I made a huge mistake not buying another golf but sure what's done is done and it's not even that the Megane is a bad car just not a golf is its biggest issue. Only thing is I'm going to take some hit on my own selling it then but I suppose I'll have it 1.5 years it's not too bad. I'm not too bother anyway under no allusions it won't be a cheap trade up with a few k euro. I'd buy new only for I don't think I'd be able to sleep at night wondering will someone damage it so I'll go 2 years old obviously if mk6 it will be older than that.

Just something about them you don't get in other cars and you'll never really understand it until you own one. Infairness the Megane is a great seriously mechanically straight car very under rated but I just can't warm to it but I'd be the exact same I recon if I had bought an Astra, i30, 5 series or whatever else I was looking at. I think I won't get over them until I buy another and then move on after it. Ah the Megane might grow on me overtime I kind of hope it does as I'd be up a fortune keeping it for 3 years but probably won't happen. Suits all my needs down to the ground for the next year anyway which is grand.

CIP4 wrote: » That's full tank feeling. Driving around with 1/4 all the time wouldn't work great in the Megan's. As with the digital gauge 2 bars is 1/4 of a tank when it drops to one bar 1/8 of a tank the low fuel light comes on range goes to --- which is stupid as its the one time you want to know your range. Book says it has 50km on the light which is sh!t considering most have 130km plus on the light. Granted all this makes little difference to me as I fill it when or before it hits 1/4 of a tank. But you could get caught out handy enough. In some ways you can't beat an old fashioned gauge even if there not the most accurate there not normally that far out.
