Hi all, my name is Mark and I drive a 2004 Subaru Liberty 2.5i. I am on the hunt for a new/near new car for my wife, she drives a 1994 Mitsubishi Lancer so pretty much any modern car is going to be an upgrade.
We were looking at the Mazda 3 sp23 (auto) and nearly bought one 2 weeks ago but dealer wouldn't budge on price so we walked.
Anyway, we may be in the position to spend more and since I have heard so much about Golfs (GT and GTI in particular) I thought I would post on here. The Volkswagen website currently say they have drive away prices on all Golfs except the GTI Pirelli, does this mean that if I order a GTI with no options it'll cost me $42,990 no more to pay? If so do you think this price could be haggled down further or are VW like Mazda and stick to their prices?
Would it be a disjustice to get a GTI and not opt for leather or sunroof? I have leather in my Liberty and it is nice but damn it gets hot in summer. Does the cloth look cheap or is it a nice quality cloth?
Besides these 2 cars, there really are no other ones that we like.
Thanks, with a bit of luck and if I can stretch the extra 10K over a sp23 I will be a Golf owner and post here regularly I'm sure :)
