Hi all.
Sorry for not putting this in 'anything goes'. I thought better than getting waffle back as answers.
Do not fear I am not getting rid of my Defender. However. My old man always borrows my car over the winter as his is awful as rear wheel drive. He's looking to get a new car and as I always suggest one I have been handed the task. He normally has a performance rear wheel drive car but as it is always going wrong and stupidly expensive to fix its time to have a rethink. At the same time it's been agreed its a good idea to get 4WD (to give me a break too!). Something smaller than a big exec saloon is wanted too.
I have come up with the R32 as it has the poke to get away at the lights to avoid the 3 to 2 lane jostle and the 4WD to cope better in a light dusting of snow. Parts will also be everywhere as everyone seems to have a Golf.
Does anyone have and experience if the MK5 golf/R32? Have been stung at the dealers with the last car so really want to know of major issues. Or can anyone suggest an alternative?
I know I could have asked on a VW forum but this place feels like home...😁
Thanks.
