only so much as when you open the Sat West Aust. Not interested in FWD so that rules some of them out. I will not buy a french made car full stop - remember I am still an american too :D ! Volvo doesn't even come into consideration to be honest for another 20 years at least :eek: and holden astra well its a holden astra. thanks for the suggestions though.

Done Deal.The wife selected a MY08 Golf GT and its ordered for del in Oct 07, she got grey metallic w/ auto/dsg paddle shift, bi-xenon lights, and leather seats. She is happy and so am I. We drove it again and its goes hard for a 1.4 ltr car.
