    Not a VW !

    Well, thanks to VWA and their poorly chosen option regarding suitable cars, I have purchased my 1st NON VW in 10 years! .... having purchased 4 new VWs in that 10 years, their current options just did not offer what I wanted .....

    My needs was simple (I thought so anyway)

    1. long warranty and once a year servicing (at capped prices)
    2. decently poweful yet super reliable engine
    3. manual (6 speed)
    4. P plate friendly (no turbos then )
    5. lots of inclusions as standard.
    6. not too expensive given that it is a runabout, learner, p plater transport etc .... general cheap dogsbody then ....

    Meet Casper, the only car on the market that I could find that ticked all my boxes .....

    And boy has Hyundai moved forward since I last owned 1 more than 10 years ago ..... they seem to have studied VW's cars closely the last view years ..... drive is actually quite nice, OK power for a 1.6 MPI, it even has auto door locking and 3 blink turn signals these days .... BT and 6" Colour Screen radio also standard and MFD as well!

    BTW A new Polo was also considered, 1.2TSI a bit better IMO, but also $5K more expensive! and with a troublesome TSI engine also it seems, so the 1.4 Polo the only real competition, but alas it simply wasn't ..... so dull (and slow) to drive and nothing special (as in features) included as standard or even available as an option at the same price as the Accent. In the end it was a no-brainer really.

    Sad day, for a house that has had 11 VWs to date .... unless VW picks up their game, the Amarok likely to be the last.
