• I'm looking at exactly same thing. Well, currently weighing up options. I need a practical but fun second car around the $15k budget (in Aussie dollars) and the 130i with n52 engine is top of list.

    A mk VI hold GTi is possibly a safer bet but I am drawn to rwd, manual, straight 6...

    Left field is a mk V golf R32 for the noise...

  • All the reviews I read said it’s ‘better’ than the R32 and a bit cheaper. The price seems to have stopped falling and maybe increasing slightly. Not that’s a reason to buy one.
    Hopefully I’ll be happy on Monday on the drive back to Manchester from Sheffield.
