Autoblog-Advice: a substitute for a Golf GTD, on petrol
Posted on 30-01-2016 at 14:00 by MauritsH – 2 Comments”
A fine luxury to the upper chamber once to work.
Because in terms of mileage not more logical is to in a Golf GTD to continue to drive, is reader Jochem looking to replace with a petrol engine. He is so nice what hp’s used to it and are looking for something with at least 200 hp and an automatic transmission, whereby the consumption is not so very much difference. The budget amounts to 30,000 euro, and we should orient on the German market, where prices will be a blow lower than here.
Without further ado, the criteria, as you are used to from us:
Current /previous cars:Volkswagen Golf 6 GTD DSG
Sale / lease:Sale
Business / private:Private
Budget:€ 30.000 but there is something beyond may also, including trade-in current car. (budget based on prices in Germany)
Annual mileage:15,000 km
Brandstofvoorkeur:Gasoline
Reason to purchase another car:New job, diesel should be out the door.
Family composition:Two adults
Preferred brands /models:Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes.
No-go models / brands:Asian brands, French brands.
BMW M135i: the preference of the user
Jochem gives itself to that quest always ends up in the BMW M135i and according to us that is not without reason. The appearance is debatable what also may have that this generation of 1 series typical a car is that you really have to see it to form an opinion on. Furthermore, there is very little wrong with it, outside of the existence of the legendary 1M Coupe. That is, however, a lot more expensive and at the same time, probably waardevaster. Choices…
Mercedes A250 Sport: not the most exciting car, but it is a fine
We continue considering the composition of the household in the hatchback-corner hang and seen Jochems preference for German cars, could we not then to the A250. As said before, capable of driving pleasure or power is not at the top of the list of the A-class, but a great car to have. Nevertheless, it is also in terms of power not hard upgrade compared to the Golf GTD and still worth considering. The A45 AMG is unfortunately still outside the budget.
Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport: jawohl!
With up to 290 horsepower under the right foot is this GTI Clubsport is definitely a buddy hitsiger than the Golf GTD. In addition to the extra oempf under the hood, the Clubsport hung with the necessary aerodynamic tricks to the nose at high speed in the right direction. In Germany costs a new you about 37.000 euro, if really all of your savings on.
Audi S3: cool, but also slightly above the budget
For the Audi S3 is the same as the GTI Clubsport above: nice car and also fast, but unfortunately above the budget. A new cock you get to our eastern neighbors for just under 40,000 euros and, as you probably already felt it coming, there is still no option.
Seat Leon Cupra: a lot of horsepower and a slightly lesser finish
Lower-finish is also not completely illogical, because the Seat is cheaper than the Golf, and come from the same group. The Leon Cupra has a little less horsepower than the GTI Clubsport and falls within the budget.
Audi TTS: as a slightly older within the budget
Not a very surprising choice for Jochem ask you once to German suggestions. The new one is unfortunately a bit too expensive so a copy of the previous generation is perhaps a more attractive offer. If there might still have an old sock lying around, go for the new one.
