So why did you choose Volkswagen ?

I use to read Wheels Magazines a lot and Vw"s were getting top reviews, so suggested my brother buy a Golf when he was looking for his first car. When it came time for me to upgrade, the Polo was coming out and it was winning everything as well, was a obvious choice.

My first VW is also my first new car. My first car with warranty. My first car paid for with a work car allowance.

I've been in a Subaru Liberty for 12 years, with models from '89 to '07. The decision to change was brought about by an engine failure, and I wanted to swap from sedan to wagon. I've modified my last two cars to make them the car they should be, and given I was getting it financed, it made sense to get new.
What I've noticed thoughout my thorough decision process, is that modern cars in general are pretty sterile, and I test drove cars from 125kw diesels (Skoda Octavia RS) to 310KW (Ford F6). The F6 was really quick, but too deceptively so,while the new Liberty GT was worse in every fashion than my previous (modified '07) Liberty.

The V6 4-motion looked good, had a suitable amount of go (even if it doesn't push you back in the seat with a rush of the turbo) and was a nice place to spend a reasonable amount of time. I'd say VW have about 3 years to build my loyalty to the brand. It's started well enough so far.

Wanted a Superbug as my first car, wasn't gonna happen, looked around aimlessly at little, plain, boring Jap boxes and even a few land yachts, (Falcodores).

Then I stumbled across this weird little car, a MK2 Golf GTI.



Bought it and love it to bits, it's low, loud and slow but incredibly satisfying to drive and it got me through my first 5 years of driving.
Have a MK4 GTI now too, for when the MK2 is getting attention.

1st car was a 1972 Beetle which lasted 3 years before the motor was using oil like it was going out of fashion.
Had a 1996 Golf for several years which I loved driving ( though always secretly wished I got the V6 version instead).

Getting a 2010 CC which has to be one of the sexiest machines ever built.

...... After nearly 25 years of driving I just seem to keep coming back to the VW.

One day I'll get a Karmman Gia too.
