+1 i have a 07 GT spec B and love it, hate the new 5th gens. It is fairly wide to park in places like shopping centers but its not long (its more or less same length as my old EK civic sedan), i think a little alfa or 1 series would be easiest to squeeze around in and not hit things given your choices.

Missus will love it so much you'll be made to sleep on the couch for the foreseeable future :-P

MK6 Golf GTI 5 door DSG or

MK5 Golf R32 DSG.

I'm only saying DSG because I'm assumign your missus cant drive manual and your euro is 5AT too...

I had a CL9 euro way way back in 2005. Sold it. Then had a MK5 Jetta TFSI (golf with a boot) and I loved it. Got written off when some idiot decided to turn right before giving way to me (i was going straight). I now drive a Golf R.

MK5 Jetta was I felt more comfortable than the Euro. and it really was a Golf with a boot in that you'd get inside the back seat of my jetta, then go in a back seat of a Golf, the interior room is exactly the same, and its quite roomy at that. Best thing I loved about the Jetta was the boot space. If you thought the euro's boot space was big, the Jetta's is just HUGE. I used the boot a lot so it was useful for me. the GTI has a pretty big boot as well for a hatchback. Fold down the rear seats and you can get plenty of stuff from Ikea in (medium sized desk and a chest of drawers. Easy).

Servicing is more expensive than Honda but thats to be expected. They dont have the honda reliability but in saying that my Jetta never once failed on me and it's fairly reliable in its own right. Just a little bit more fiddly is all

www.vwwatercooled.org.au is probably your best source for info.

Regarding idiot owners using wrong oil etc, that can be said for any car. If you take it to VW for servicing or a reputable VW mech (theres a few around who specialises in the volkwagen/audi group cars), you're never going to have this problem. It'd be like going to Hanny's and having them use the wrong oil in your car. it just doesnt happen and isnt heard of.

Have a look into those 2 cars. GTI is well priced these days and try and aim for a newer model like an 08-09 as there were minor changes done from previous models. R32, because, well.... just listen to this

Imagine going through a tunnel. Aural pleasure.....plus the VR engine is no more so it'd be somewhat of a collectors item later on. It just sounds so mental....love these....
