An update. I was outvoted so we ended up with an A1. Red and silver TDI 120k miles. Lovely condition. The A2 will need to wait until I have garage space
Good grief that is my exact story, even had an EscortI had just ten hour-long lessons and passed my test first time. 19-year-old me was very pleased with myself, and I imagined that I was god's gift to driving. Like many young lads, I thought that I was invincible. A few weeks later, I spun a lightweight RWD Escort on a sharp bend and ended up facing the oncoming traffic. Although no harm was done to either myself, the vehicle or anything else, I recognised that was through nothing but luck. I pulled into a layby, gave myself a thorough talking to, and have been middle-aged ever since.
I would say this is a safer choice.An update. I was outvoted so we ended up with an A1. Red and silver TDI 120k miles. Lovely condition. The A2 will need to wait until I have garage space
Since I started this thread I've sold my 2002 Beetle Turbo and now currently don't actually own a car other than the Midget - which I'm contemplating also selling to make garage space - but for a MK1 Golf. No A2 on the horizon sadly.
Not really I have a company Cupra Born, it's just I don't own it. Or need to worry about servicing/insurance/maintenance so It's a happy storyA very sad story
Well, yes. This is true for all of us. Even @George Hogg may eventually run out of garage space. But we all know that, whatever your garage capacity, you buy an A2 and then consider what else you may have space for. Pretending that other cars are somehow worthy of consideration ahead of an A2 is just a temporary delusion. Buy an A2. All further decisions will then become clear.I only have so much garage space.
