Ive got a Mk4 1.9 Diesel CL.
Its probably the best car ive owned. Fuel economy is fantastic!
Its a CL so its got elec windows/mirrors, alarm, immob, pas etc

Its no Gti but ive been on a couple of road trips with the car full and it feels brill, not heavy and steers great. Great on the motorway and good at overtaking.

Im actually selling mine due to uni (forced sale) if you're interested.
Insurance isnt much for me and i think theres only the 1.9 available?
