what would people choose???

Post by vw_polo_boi »

hi people i have found 2 polo6n2's but are not sure which one to get :/ wonder what other peoples point ov views would be,
either a polo6n2 se (60bhp 8v) silver, with all the fog lights etc.
or the polo6n2 se (75bhp 16v) red, with all fog lights etc.
both same price £1,885 both with 50,000 miles, i wanted the 16v engine but is there any difference really between the 60bhp 8v and the 75bhp 16v?
i mean the 8v will be alot cheaper in insurance, tax, petrol and probably repairs i imagine
so opinions please thanks people.

the main difference is 8 valves!

I would get the red one as you will get bored of the 8v and then wish you brought the red one.

As above.

You will kick yourself if you didn't get the Red one.

yep you will get bored of the 8v...trust me i know lol. but at the end of the day, depends how much you want to pay for insurance, if i remember the 16v cost me quite a fair but more to insure
when it comes to servicing and repairs i know a cambelt change will cost more than it would on a 8v not sure about anything else, sorry :?

that what alex says!

Don't settle for money savings because when you get bored your will just spend more on a new car! In 5 years I have had 7 cars and have stuck with the polo. Nearly a year now.
