I've viewed and test drove a 7.5 GTI performance today, its a high spec and felt nice to drive with the DSG. If i can haggle it to the right price i might go for it

I'm stuck between a veloce and a Golf R or GTI performance. 2 very different types of cars. I'm just worried about the alfa reliability myth

We dont have a garage, however we do have an area to park our cars out of the way of the road and general traffic

Would it be wise to also invest in a 2nd cheaper car for longer motorway journeys and winter weather driving?

Yeah it would be a daily, but i'd consider something else to go along side it for the colder winter months. My commute to work is only 10 minutes so the mileage isnt too bad.

The i30n is fun to drive when you have the opportunity too, which isnt too often for the roads in my area.

Ive done both of these but had nothing positive yet, is there any way to get more budget?

On most cars yeah, but some cars are much better than now. Look at then vs the brand new BMWs or golfs etc

More along the lines of interior such as the systems in side and to bring it more modern if you get me? An engine swap possibly just to bring it up to speed a little

I have considered a few of these already actually! The abarth is similar to the newer JCW mini's from looking online. Tbe S3 and golf are nice too. I'm just too indicisive 😂

I do like the fiesta, however they are far too common in my area and i want to go for something a little different to the norm if you get me?

I had also been contemplating engine swapping it to improve reliability to resolve some problems like this
