I was looking at 407 executives they are nicely trimmed on the inside, same insurance as the 406 i just wanted to know if the 136 hdi engine was as good as the 110.

What about the new golf they are putting a 110 BHP tdi engine in it?

Probably. For pushy types who think they are justified in cutting up traffic in their "GT TDi"s.

But it's a Golf. So it'll weigh 2 tons and look the same as the model from 10 years ago but with slightly different lights :roll:

I drove one of the new golfs, i really dont see what the big deal is, fair enough it seems well made, but no better than any other car. I just get very bored in a golf.

The plastics seem very plasticy, the seats are uncomfortable (I keep getting hurt from the plastic sides of the base of VAG seats) and the suspension is ridiculously overly stiff.
