i'm intending on upgrading, but as same time degrading the car

i want a mk5 1.2/1.0 insted of my mk4 1.4

how much am i roughly looking for a decent one?

i really like Bens mk5 on here he has the same colour as mine.
i'd like either silver, black, red or grey.

cheers

there's no 1.0 version of the mk5. you can pick up a 1.0 e for about 2k nowadays

It's not poverty spec, it's just lightweight. Well, that's what I used to say when I had mine...

but it doesn't look any different, ive decided that i'm going for looks not performance in my next car.

as i rushed into getting my current car i want to plan my next one and really get as much info as i can on mk5s.

ollie yours looks sexy.

the 1.0 and the 1.0e are the same thing. You don't get a 1.2, it then goes up to the 1.4 8v

there aren't many specs in mk5s,
starts off with base e with pretty much everything mechanical
S gets colour coded bumpers and cup holders and central locking if I'm right
SE gets you sunroof/electric windows/fog lights/central locking/alloy wheels 14"
then 16v with sports seats and 15" alloys
GTI with Split rims/Xenons/15mm lowered suspension/rear spoiler

yeah i know about the speed i suppose i'd get what ever size engion if the price and car was right.

that colour concept that randall posted is nice if it was a diff colour or cheaper

go fo a match as they come with most things electric and if ur lucky u'll get air con, i got a sunroof

pip_polo · Post by **pip_polo** » Tue May 22, 2007 11:22 pm

the main things i want the car to have are..
electric windows
electric mirrors
power steering
colour coded bumpers
nice interior

possibly a bonus:
alloys (no to fussed though as i'll put mine on it)

i know most will come with that though

which colour do you think is best to go for?
(some adv. and some dis adv. of the colours too

)

cheers guys

silver - looks good, even when a little dirty. But...when you put a s**t load of work in to cleaning your car like i do, you don't get the rewards you'd get with a dark colour.

red - looks good but fades worst in the sun

dark colours - look good when clean but are a b***h to keep that clean and scratches show up like hell
