Hi, my first of hopefully many posts on here.
I have just sold my 2001 Golf GTi-Turbo 150 Bhp and am looking to buy a new car. I have whittled it down to either a Stilo Abarth, or another Golf GTi-Turbo. I am looking to buy used as i am not prepared to get suckered in with huge depreciation (and i cant afford to buy new ). My budget will be
£11,000 if i go for the Golf, but i know i won't need to spend as much on the Stilo, therefore more could go towards customising the car.
I have checked out the performances of both cars and they seem to be very similar, although i've been told the abarth's 5 cylinder does sound nicer. I know the build quality is not as good in the stilo compared to golf but the stilo looks so much nicer.
So the question is, what are the pros and cons of the stilo? and has anyone tried both and can compare?
I will test drive the stilo, but i feel people who regularly drive them could help me alot more than an hours drive!
Thankyou, Nathan
