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

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
