Golf's all I could afford!!

So you didn't want the M3. Big deal.

I think you should stop caring what people think and stop justifying your purchase.

I wouldn't for a moment suggest that I'm so self absorbed and narrow minded to completely stop caring about what other people thought. But thanks for your advice on that, will give it some consideration. And on justifying my purchase, you're probably right, or though I suppose I could simply have not made the purchase, that may have been simpler and a damn sight easier on wallet. But again, good advice.

To everyone else who recognised this thread as an interesting topic to simply discuss for some light entertainment, cheers to you.

Like you said the Golf seems to cover all bases and you have no requirement to defend, compare or even belittle other cars with it.

You will be happy once it arrives .

Thanks mate, looking forward to it. Should be fun........ if it ever lands.

There are a million ways one can justify their choice of vehicle, because cars mean different things to different people. There's no point in getting hung over what someone else thinks of one's purchase (unless you've asked).

I take your point.

Perhaps my thoughts could've been expressed more diplomatically, but I stand by them.
