Hello

What are you guys opnions on these two cars.

I dont need a car for work, just for fun/social things.

I want a car that hopefully going to reliable and fun.

I like the v6 in the golf and the '4 wheel drive' system is good for saftey but its a bit bland and grown up. I would have to spend money on the suspension to get it up to scratch.

The seat looks better, has some nice bits (Brembo's etc) and is a more driver focused. But its a 4pot (not as exciting sounding as a v6) and its FWD.

What should be more reliable? I presume the seat would be cheaper to fix for general items and the 1.8t engine has LOTS of exposure so plenty of parts.

I have a max of 5k to spend and wish to keep the car for a few years.

Would the 1.8t golf be the more sensible option??

Thanks guys and girls
