i'd keep the polo for uni if i were you, i had my mk2 for the first 1 1/2 years at uni and it was cheap and reliable, especially if your living there because it'll have about the cheapest insurance of any car.

Hello people, long time no see!
I'm back in the polo scene, at least for a while until I find myself a nice boring diesel to replace my scirocco (for sale if anyone's interested, reason being student life is more expensive than I thought, need something more economical around town). Brought my polo out of hibernation and filled the engine to the brim with anti-smoke additives and it's now ready to MoT. Really can't fault the old car, it's been sitting for months and yet put a new battery in it and it fires up faster than my scirocco does, very impressive little beast.
So anyway, good to be back, if only for a while

student lives a b~@ch i saw a nice clean rocco GT.2 £1500

Quite honestly I don't really have the free time to be swapping engines at the moment, while I'm not at uni I work full time and need the car to get to work, so I can't really afford not to have any wheels while I swap the engine out. Besides, it'd be nice to have the extra economy of a diesel, and it'd be nice to have something more comfortable for motorway cruises as this is more or less all I do when I'm not driving in the town now. This got me thinking that if I'm going to have a boring, comfortable diesel then it may as well be reasonably big and practical, so I'm looking at large hatchbacks or small saloons and estates. There is some method in the madness there somewhere Certainly the polo will do me well for now, but I will be gradually trying to sell it while I find a replacement. At least this way it'll go on and make a good first car for someone else, much better than landing a perfectly good car in the scrapyard.
