focis 1.6 zetec or golf 1.9tdi?
 

hi, im currently driving an mk2 saxo 1.1 desire,

im thinking of upgrading to a bigger/ safer car, iv been looking and im quite liking the mk 1 ford focus 1.6 zetec (the face lift ones) or vw mk 4 golf 1.9tdi,

what are your oppinions on these? and does any one have any expiriance of them?

cheers

Not the mk4

go focus

golf diesel tbh, you'll love the economy + give it a remap and it will be fairly quick too

i think if i get a golf it will be getting remapped.

i would say golf, but having looked into getting them they are fairly expensive to buy. for a 51 plate you are looking from anything between 2k-3k and most likely have high miles. the focus however would be cheaper to buy but focus's dont seem to be that fuel efficent. the gold does look better though

Get the Golf. That's what I should be getting next :y:

yeh i wouldnt mind paying extra for a golf, as they will be worth more when icome to sell,( i think)

any ideas how much my standard 03 desire 1.1 would be worth. (47k)

Sold my 52 desire for 1800, but that was to my ex gf and i just mugged her off.. around 1k

humm i pais 2.2k a year n half ago, ah well

bought mine 2 years ago, for 1 k, sold it year and half later for 1800.. rinsed

jammy sod. lol

I bought mine last year just before the recession. Paid £1300 plus an extra £300 to get a new door sprayed/fitted.

Would be lucky to get £800 for it now. It's an 02 reg, 85k, FSH etc. etc.

Not to mention it was fucked, she paid 4/500 quid to get it fixed, it just broke 2 weeks into her having it..

safe to say shes never spoke to me since.

sounds like that was your plan all along lol

ha. just aswell u wernt still goin out.

think ill sell it to some one who knows nothing about cars, maybe theyl give me moore for it

Out of those 2, Golf Tdi any day of the week.

Not that the focus is a bad car btw

Focus will be a fuck load more fun. They handle stupidly well out of the box. Golfs dont, non GTI/R versions anyway. Body roll without stability

I never knew foc was 1.6 zetec. Thanks for clearing that up :y:

golf gt tdi pd 130, great engines, £1500 can get you 220-230bhp and they look mint with bora front ends and decked

Focus 1.6 will be pretty numb though. Golf will be built much better and will be a much better day to day drive

btw can get 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 zetecs in the Focaii
