Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 The polo is the 1.4 engine but it has a turbocharger AND supercharger to put out 180bhp. Think I'm going for that. Looks smart, cheapish lease price and goes like shit off a stick. The golf TDI is OK but it takes nearly 12s to do 0—60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks smart, cheapish lease price and goes like shit off a stick. The golf TDI is OK but it takes nearly 12s to do 0—60 The Golf has the same 1.4 TSI engine as the Polo you know? 160bhp and 0-60 in 8 seconds. Not sure where you're getting your 0-60 times on the TDI engine either. It's booked at 9.3 seconds. Even the 1.6TDI is booked at 11.3 seconds and that's only pushing out 105bhp.

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Had a bit of a rethink as I'll probably have kids by the time this lease will be up. Been looking at 5 door cars. The main 2 I like are . . . BMW 1series Diesel Msport Mini Countryman Both are a similar price, Co2 and MPG. I prefer the look of the BMW but it's shite in the snow whereas the Mini is 4WD. Thoughts?

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 All of those are too steep for my wallet unfortunately. The NHS leases almost doubled last year for whatever reason. Missed the boat to get something really flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEADMAN 0 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) go for a electric car lol you dont pay any tax on them as they dont produce co2 Edited March 11, 2012 by DEADMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 It goes on the co2 emissions and list price of the car. Some car companies give bigger discounts to the NHS too. The new bmw 116 efficient dynamics is a lot cheaper but the wheels look like the sort of alloys you would get on a vw lupo or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ordered the BMW 116ED Came back £80pm cheaper than anything else thanks to its 99gCo2 and it also does 74mpg (allegedly) so should save a few quid hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenL 0 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Anyone drive an automatic? There's a Z4 coupe I want but it's an automatic, it's been on the BMW Stratstone website for months now, they can't seem to shift it.

There's a Z4 coupe I want but it's an automatic, it's been on the BMW Stratstone website for months now, they can't seem to shift it. Used to have a BMW 323 automatic when I worked for a company. Best car I ever drove and would always have an automatic through choice. Bit silly really in this day and age having gears and a clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Nice car that like J69. Automatics are a piece of piss to drive, I like driving manuals but having an automatic wouldn't bother me would they let you take it for a quick drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I pretty much always get Autos now. Especially good in heavy traffic. I do a canny few miles a year though (about 30-35K). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
