What powerful car to replace by Golf with?
I am looking to change my car. Its a 02 golf. 1.9 GTTDI so lots of power. I have been looking in loads of garages but cant decide because I still want the power but not the cost, 5 door hatch back/sports back. Is there anything you could recommend preferably not on pcp.
Our answer:
Hi Sinead,
I reckon you need a Skoda Octavia RS TDI. It has 190hp and 400Nm of torque so plenty of grunt. Lots of space so it's practical and if you don't fancy a PCP there are plenty of good second hand and nearly new ones around.
