• Any thoughts on Leon vs Focus vs Civic as Golf alternatives?

    Can't help but look at how much 3 series estate you can get for similar money tho...

    Also am I correct in thinking the Skoda Octavia is a Golf with a bigger boot hanging off the back and a cheaper interior?

    Cheers

  • Octavia and a4 and exon are all golf mk4 and 5 with larger are yes. Octavia has the largest arse.
    Passat superb and a6 are the same.

    3 series is small compared to all of the above. Older e90 I don't mind, harsh ride even on 16" though

    Space age looking civic is my favourite of that era, go for any diesel that's already had its clutch and more important flywheel replaced (it had something wrong with it so they ALL fail, there are no exceptions), or 2.0 petrol in es or type s spec, get all the good stuff for same price tbh. Don't like the Honda leather though, their velour type material is incredibly hard wearing and still looks good even with 150/200k on them. Watch for rear tyres eaten on inside, bush's are easy and cheap to replace though
