That lightweight is what made them so (comparatively) fast, economical and well handling compared the ford/vauxhall crap offerings of the time though?

Better than the Saxo, too.

I leant to drive in a AX

I saw one the other day, first time in years

Subaru legacy estate or the impreza estate if that's more your cup of tea?

Bump this up again. The golf has more holes than swiss cheese so it's time to replace it

Budget is £2k but I have a bit extra if needed for the right car

Diesel Estate
Manual
Boot big enough to get a mattress in
Lots of toys
MPG of 45 to 50+
Something that's not £500 tax a year
Needs to look reasonably decent as it will get minor mods as having a standard car isn't me

Doesn't look that much room between the rear shock turrets

Lisa and I never had any trouble with the space in the back...

How fat are you?

Seriously though, how many people are you wanting to get across the back on that mattress? (or is that not the sort of question I should be asking

)

They look drokking good with just standard oem option bits too;

Speaking of which, the cheesegrater grille and HID headlights for the front are a must IMO;

Or you can go more extreme etc.

There are loads of tuning/modding bits out there for it.

I can fit a full size single mattress in the back of the Golf. So it's replacement must be able to fit that in or be bigger

Go and try one out. I'm pretty sure a single mattress would fit between that though.
