First of all it's a "vogue" not a "vouge"

The vogue is the best spec, with the sat nav and harmon kardon sound system
Although you can also get some well equipped HSE models too cheaper than the vogue.

I have a HSE model and it's got the same spec as the vogue so I managed to get it 2K cheaper than the same year of a vogue model.

They all have there problems, loads of electrical problems that are usually fixed quite easily. And the early models (02-06) had gearbox problems which leads to the gearbox failing after so many miles. Even the recon boxes will develop the same fault. There's no way of avoiding it.

Iv got the TD6 engine and it's very good.

Yes there all money pits but there a brilliant motor!
Good luck

I must be lucky then. Got a '95 Tdi, had it for 6 years goes like a train, especially with the Twisted Performance bits on. No problem with the box, touch wood, just the usual bl**dy rust on the rear cross member!
