I guess the only thing is whether you want something more fun. Especially if you don't have kids.

I have no idea what this means. Like a van? Or a sports car?

I'll be honest, I probably won't ever drive it. That'll be the Mrs job.

A Golf (for me at least) is the benchmark/Goldie locks car. I just meant a car that appeals to you and I wouldn't classify that Golf as an old car.

For the same money you could buy an 3 litre e46 BMW convertible...that would be cooler and more fun. Or you could buy a camper van. Or a single cabin pickup truck.

Kids mean you'll want 4 doors, >4 seats, a high NCAP safety rating, 100% confidence all the airbags work, etc. All of which puts some limits on what could otherwise be a fairly unrestricted choice.

Yeah... Hmmm...

Anyone done the 'get your license quick' lessons in London? I've never had a license and my partner's expired when we moved from Canada ten years ago. So one/both of us need to do this shit, and ideally so we'd be able to drive mid-Sept.
