My old car..... :(

It has served me well and is a beautiful car but there comes a time when you must move on!

My new car..... :)

It is a 57 plate 170 S-Line DSG with only 29k on the clock, the spec is Cruise, Bose, Full Leather and Heated Seats.

I have a few mods planned and will update this thread as I go but I am staying along the lines of OEM upgrades.

My first port of call is tinted rear windows and some genuine mats, from there different alloys then who knows!

I welcome any advice/comments/suggestions.

Thanks for looking!!!
 
Ive still got my Anni, could not sell it after I bought a 57 A3 170 SB Quattro....

Nice car!
 
I had GTIs for 16 years before my current (and first) A3 sportsback. Still miss my 1983 Mk 1 1.8 the most.
 
I had a mk4 1.8T AUQ 180 bhp before my A3 so yeah I think it's a good progression. Nice looking car, I had those wheels on mine when I had it...
 
Natural progression if you get a proper engine! 2.0T is the way forwards.
 
Yh I had a mk4 GT TDI before getting the 2.0 TDI A3
It's a nice step up with the better cabin and smooth drive. My MK4 used to throw me about when I floored it, the A3 just pulls progressively

You car looks nice and has a good base spec. Hope your pockets are deep

The anniversary made a lot of noise in the cabin, constantly squeaking, my old 4Motion done the same, highly annoying! Whereas the A3 was just so quiet even for a diesel!

Why do you say you hope my pockets are deep?!
 
I'm not sure about natural progression.....3rd petrol turbo to 5dr diesel?? Have you aged a lot since buying the golf? lol.
I always wanted an anniv when I was younger buy by the time I could afford one I was looking for more speed!
Enjoy your new wheels, nice spec too.
 
Had an anniversary before really liked it but it was squeaky/creaky inside as has been said.

A3 feels better built and more refined, still getting used to having a tdi though as had a V6 4motion before.

Good choice :)

The Anniversary was a 1.9 PD 150 BHP :haha:

My car before that was a V6 4Motion so I guess that is where I aged lol

Thanks for the comments guys, the modding has already started and I haven't even picked the car up yet haha

Hi Si, thanks mate

The mats are from Audi mate, cost £71 for the set, was going to get some S-Line ones off ebay but they had mixed reviews and I wanted the OEM look, I'm really happy with them.
 
I wouldn't say a GTI to an A3 is the natural progression. I would say a VW to an Audi is the natural progression.

Enjoy your car.
