Hi there everyone, not sure if this is the best place to be posting without bias leaning towards the i30N…
I’m currently driving a 1.6 tdi golf and feel like it’s time for something which gives me more of a smile when I drive.
I’m really stuck choosing between a mk7.5 performance or i30N performance for my needs which are:
- okay insurance wise (I’m 23 with 2 years NCB)
- useable as a daily (I don’t commute much for work, just runs to the shops etc.)
- reasonable running costs for parts etc
The only differences I can see at the moment is that the i30 is a better driving experience but costs a fair bit more (around 25-30k in the UK) and the GTI (around 18-23k) is a better all rounder?
Any thoughts would be appreciated and anyone else who has had to make a similar choice.
