VW Up! or 9n polo 1.9TDI?
Otherwise the focus diesel is meant to be pretty good.
Hi All,
In the next few months I'll be selling my MK 2 VR6 and Mk 3 TDI. Time has come, I just want to move into something that is newer and in better overall condition. I'm looking at buying in about 3-6months time (hopefully)
So I put it to you lot - what would you buy for under $20K?
Some more background. This will be my "daily driver", I'll still have the Seat as a weekender/track hack, so I'm not nessecarily after something that's fast or 'sporty'. I'm not looking for a project, or something to fix up, but I'm not unopposed to a few modifications as nessecary.
Other requirements (or general guidelines):
-Must be relatively new
-preferably a few km's as possible
-Must be reliable
-Should hopefully be interesting
-Must be a quality car (no Kias etc)
-Nice, fun, and/or enjoyable to drive
-Probably auto
-Generally good fuel economy (diesel would be ace)
-Doesn't have to be VAG
I have one potential candidate in my head, but I'm curious to know what you'll think (and what I might have missed!) Doesn't have to fit all the boxes above, but if it fits a couple, fire away!

It's essentially the VR noise in an understated package. Only 4 for sale in the country at the moment so nice and rare too
Had considered an Up, however, they're not the most... manly.. of cars.
Not bad with the audi Ryan, but thats a 9 year old car! Want something newer than that. preferrably much less kms, too.
6r polo tsi with sport pack, surprisingly fun to drive, 22 drive away brand new, can be had with 20k on the clock for 17-18k,
tune available for 100kw, light and nimble similr size to a mk3
springs/ coils.
look good.
Scirocco R, APR 2+,VWR BBK,HP, QUAIFE, FORGE, VWR 18x9.
Skoda Yeti.
Some say...
If you want something practical (tic).... I will be able sell you a 7yold NC1 mazda mx5 with 100 odd in a few months (once I work out what I want to buy)...
Umm, Looking at your list.... maybe too many K's
Ummm maybe not Automatic... (but that gearbox is awsome)
Hey! But run this scenario through your head...
You " I am just going to duck off to the shops"
wife " can you take the kids, they are driving me mad?"
You " no can do... gotta take the mazda, its 'parking in' the SUV"
aye... waddaythink? he he
Having a Gap Year!!!!
what next?... what next?
Haha. have consideredowning an MX-5 a number of times previously, but not at this time.
I'm looking for something that'll be worth keeping for a number of years (hence why I'm trying to get something 'as new as possible'). Would consider something a little bit older, but would have to be justified by it having a certain X-factor. Or being an incredible bargain. (I use that term loosely)
Polo isn't a bad choice. Would probably go a TDI because of the stupid good economy. But there's nothing that appeals to me about it, if that makes sense.
There are alot of good reasons to get a Skoda Yeti
Top Gear - Skoda Yeti road test - BBC - YouTube
I like the feel of Subarus on-road. There are some (older) libertys with a 6cyl motor and 5sp auto that would be my pick, but there aren't many around. They seem to be around the $18k mark which sounds about spot on for you.
Can't vouch for their economy though
I would say yo go for the Skoda or Polo gti
