    indeed ! I would like to own an alfa one day I still think and the guilietta is a very nice car. its just that its due for an major update in 2013-2014 I understand so its a tough time to buy one. as not only will cop a the usual drop of resale also will drop further when it gets superceded !

    Kinda like HiFi/HT

    I do love how MultiAir give the potential for inlet valve timing to be part of a remap

    Mercedes-Benz Australia - Equipment & Accessories - Wheels

    theyre optional AMG rims dh, but to be honest am not a big fan of black rims, prefer the stock amg rims on the a250 to be honest

    haha well there you go. to me they always look dirty !

    but yeah altogether the black rims do go well with the other black details on the car, mirors, roof, grills etc so can see lot liking for that reason in itself

    Still not sure about the exterior styling, take the badges off and I'm pretty sure I'd think it was Kia or Hyundai. The more I look at the latest crop of hot hatches, the more I'm liking the look of the mk7 even more.

    see am the opposite I see the golf mk7 and not convinced. whereas see some other new cars coming along that offer a bit more. rather than mk7 golf gti I think if was going golf gti again I would just keep my mk6 instead

    Makes the GTI and indeed the R look pathetic ants piss to be honest (and I've owned both)

    Sure, more dollars but reliability a given, classy, looks actually good (as opposed to the bland Golf), fresh styling.

    Best of all, not a peasants car. VW have failed to raise their game - same old boring bland and tired tech (and weak DSG)

    I'm sold (but am looking at the AMG personally).
