My other half has the opportunity to buy a Golf V5 from a neighbour. Has anyone any experience of the V5? Good, bad?

She has been hankering after an Alfa 147 for some time and part of me says go for the Alfa (bit more fun, image, something a bit different) but my sensible head says the Golf would be a good buy - especially as the neighbour is willing to negotiate on the price.

Oh, the other thing is insurance - is it bad? She's only 23.

Cheers,

Graham

Thanks guys, will probably have a drive and see what I think. She drives a Corsa at the moment so anything will be an improvement.

The golf certainly looks nice, in a silver blend in with the masses kinda way (nice wheels though) however the Alfa seems just that bit more special (just a bit scared of reliability, crap dealers and depreciation).

Cheers
