I told my wife about the price reduction on the standard edition Golf. She said "Why do we need a 2nd Golf? We already have the R32...doesn't the Polo stack up better $ for $? I'll find it easier to park in the (smaller) Polo...so why would I want a bigger with the likelihood of lesser features? Pass"

She who must be obeyed has voted.

ER.... I am sure your wife (or anyone for that matter) would not appreciate 2 golf as oppose to someone who is buying their first ...
Polo has being easy to park, I can confirm that.

Not turning this into another one of those arguments so

Same thing. I think there will still be a lot of buyers who prefer the Polo and vise versa. Just because you are getting a bigger car doesn't instantly make it better value. The value is perceived by the respective buyer.

No, I am not arguing at all. Just saying license suspension(s) = dangerous driver.

you should be ashamed of yourself, really... for your "numerous license suspensions"

I see you haven't had an accident yet, good for you (so far)!
I have a few accidents in the parking lot, with old ladies backing into my car, and that is what the majority of accidents are like... (non-fetal low speed impacts)

Good to hear... Next thing is to get the window tint Done. I just did mine on Saturday (there were two cars that day, ones my polo, another is someones new TDI Golf), condition is you can't wind down the window for at least 2 days. But I never had to anyways, hahaha. My first car with a climate control (make sure you get it, very good and functional, just like the auto-dimming rear view mirror)
