2) 10 cars - all VWs, my parents have a mk7 polo, and before that we had a Lupo, so i looked at Polos and a couple of Lupos. I wanted a Mk5 Polo, but at the time they were hard to find on the court yard at dealerships, so settled for the mk6, now i like them more, but i guess i would say that...
3) Perfect size of engine and body. Liked the look of it, and my mate had a Black 3 Door car, and this one was black and had 3 doors, and also low mileage, so it was perfect.
4) My parents had had 3 other VWs, so we knew they were a good make. yeah, the fact it was a VW swung it well.
5) I'd chose the VW just so i could say "i own a VW" its that classic brand name thing.
hope this helps mate
