Hello all,
After selling my TT Quattro Sport 240 I've bought a MK1 Golf Rivage as a toy and I'm looking for a relatively cheap but reliable daily run around, I've always liked the A2 so I'm on the look out for one!
I've narrowed it down to either a 1.4 tdi (90) or a 1.6 fsi. I want something economical with a bit of poke and both those engines suit the bill, if I can get 40+mpg around town I'll be a happy chap.
A few questions: I've seen the facelift version (post 2004, well late 2003 if my research is right), other than the addition of the 90bhp tdi, slatted grill/inspection panel and some cloth/colour changes is there anything else I've missed? In all honesty I prefer the slatted grill (dons flame suit ).
The cars purpose will be to and from work, shopping duties , load lugging and the odd motorway sprint - Am I right in saying the A2 is perfect for this?
On that note, I Mountain Bike and I plan on transporting 2 bikes here and there maybe once or twice a month, will these fit in the boot or will I need a roof rack?
I'm planning on looking at a Cirrus Blue fsi in Harrogate today so fingers crossed it's as nice as advertised and I'll be driving it home.
Is there anything specific I should be looking out for and are there any really must have options I want? (I 100% want a 4 seater for the configuration options they bring).
Thanks in advance and hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of me!
