Steven

Plus...

Because i like em

Also the bro in law has the golf and actually prefers my plus...hes had a few issues with it...

I suppose its down to your pref and driving style..and alspo your approach to "Style"

Asthetically there is no comparrison between the 2...coupe is sex...golf is ...well...er...German...

Suppose the risiduals will be better on the golf...so onto the investment arguement...

lets face it - they are depreciating assets...so the arguements a bit pish...

We arrent parting with 50k here are we?

And pound for pound I find I get higher smiles per gallon with the Italian Stallion...

Somedays the quirks make me wish i could swap it for a golf...but if one turned up in its place id prob burn it!

but whatever you reckon....

I must say one a Coupe forum this is just about the most pointless post.

If you want a car that will make you smile, one that you will always take a backward glance at whenever you park it and then smile contentedly then the Coupe is the car.

If on the other hand you want an overpriced heavy box of german tut the the Golf is your baby.

The golf is the better engineered car but it is not an emotional purchase. So head or heart, which is it to be

Totally unbiased view here ELECTRIC BLUE PLUS ahem

See how long I deliberated before giving that answer?

Its like the difference between Aggie MacKenzie from "How Clean is Your House", and Carla Bruni, the French President't latest beau.

One is ever reliable, will keep your house clean, keep you out of trouble, but will still cause a stir with her presence and her blond hair and golden gloves. (Golf 4-motion)

The other will cause you to do crazy things, will cause you upset and heartache, but will also give you a smile in the morning when you cast your eyes across her curves, and will attract many an envious glance, and has the deep-down beauty that needs nothing extra to show it off.

like it Jim,

the Golf is indeed the Sonja O'Sullivan in the Pack....


Ugly as FCCUK , but she'll run all day...

How many mk4 golfs do you see on the road, compared with Coupes? Thats what made me pick my 20VT Coupe over a mk3 VR6. The golf has a slightly larger than normal engine and IMO very bland looks, which means 95% of people wouldn't give it a second glance. The same cannot be said for the Coupe.

I also like the scope for tuning with a turbo engine. Pound for pound it's much easier to wring more bhp & lb/ft out of a turbo'd car than an N/A. If you wanted to tune the engine then the Coupe is the best option.

Find a Coupe which has been well looked after and you shouldn't have too many problems, *touches wood* 4 months in and so far mine has been good as gold.

Live and drive in London? Go for the Golf. It's more comfortable on our sh*tty roads, it'll attract less attention and you won't worry about parking it in a car park with fear of some idiot denting a panel.

Or you could just think 'sod it' and buy the plus.

Assuming you do drive in traffic lots, then the golf. Instant V6 power delivery as opposed to turbo spool oops stop for the next set of lights! Shorter journeys, not having to wait for the oil to heat up, an easier drive, etc, etc.

If you drive in London, it's a no brainer for me, GOLF

Take the Golf. Far more sensible.

(This has nothing to do with the fact that I want an electric blue Plus and want to reduce competition - honest).

A good point raised by my heavy footed friend. You stand a better chance at winning traffic light GP's with a 4WD Golf.

I have owned a coupe LE for ages now, but my old pool car was a black 52 plate Golf V6 4 motion.

The golf was an easy drive and relaxing did quite a few miles in it, held four people + luggage in comfort, but i was always aching to get back into my coupe.

But Golf's are excellent at doing this whole comfort thing - but they are very dull IMO.

The instant V6 power delivery was good but seemed to run out of puff quite early, the shorter gearing made it feel faster than it actually was.

4WD was fun in the wet!

Personally id take the Coupe purely for the..

"oh look..a golf yawn"

and then for the coupe..

"wooooooow look at that!!" (I actually got that reaction last week lol.)

I had the 150bhp Golf GTI TD, back in 2002. Well built, beautifully built, actually. Went like stink in a straight line, did trillions to the gallon, never failed blah blah.

Show it a corner and it fell to pieces. Bit like the Coop, actually!

Take the Plus. The Golf is sooooooo mundane. And sooooo sensible.

When was the last time you saw a Golf? Today?

I've yet to see a frikkin Plus. In 18 months.

No contest

Agreed!

You ask on a Coupe forum which is better, a coupe or a VW? Hmm...

Which reminds me, I really start a "All VW's are sh!t" post on the VAG forum.

I think he is asking for an unbiased opinion which most posters have given him

By no means a useless post.

Fiar enough. I was being sarky

Welformed, You Sarky?.. Now there's a first.

Stunning pictures!!!!
I haven't had the opportunity to drive a VW V6 4motion, but have driven a gti and a gt tdi. Both cars were nice to drive on a motorway - comfortable, easy - but they are so dull, looks are lacking, the petrol engines are far from inspirational, and the inetrior gives me the impression that they got a second hand deal on grey plastic!!!!!
Whereas imo the coup is nice and comfortable to drive on the mway, will always capture the corner of your eye teasing you to have a full eye oggling session. It overwhelms people with its italian rear, curved and smooth lines matched with the most glorious warbling soundtrack and an iterior living up to its italian name.
Simply irresistible...IMO of course
As Will shakespeare said..." If coupe be the food of love, play on"!!!! lol

I have driven a Golf V6 4Mo (I used to sell them) & the Bora version to boot (ha ha!) - 204 bhp make this a fast (faster than most things around you anyway) motor, with sure footed traction, top drawer build quality & probably not a nightmare to work on (although parts can be pricey).

Problem is - it's flabby, and a bit dull. The Coupe KILLS it with performance & looks - although it's not the sensible choice. All down to going with the head (Golf) or the heart (Fiat) - I'd go for the Fiat personally (and then cry when bits fall off!)
