32 driving a TDI FR. Why not petrol? Fuel economy, dislike revving the nuts of the car when the low down diesel grunt is much more fun to me.. and I have to drive 500 mile round trips for work at least twice a month :)

.. plus.. it's bloody brilliant! :D

take a look at what the guys taking the piss drive.bored to ****ing tears in a people carrier no doubt,or sat in a bog standard fleet car,in depression grey.

It's nice to be individual and have something a bit different to everyone else. I remember in my last job instead of pool cars they hired cars like vectras, mondeos, etc and I could never find them in car parks as they blended in so well.

Oh 31 as well so guess I'm mid scale on the ownership table.

I feel as if im to young to have a car like this and should have a Fiesta ST or something and im now to "sencible"

The question is, why do you have a 'small family car' at your age :p

isn't it the norm,for gentlemen of a certain age ,to suddenly buy a sports car and start having an affair with a woman half his age?

can't wait personally :p

I am 36 and have just ordered the FR TDI in Black Magic.

Much like the Golf TDI this car will replace, I feel it is just right in terms of the car I feel I ought to be driving, the correct "image" and also it is far and away the best of a series of comparable cars I have test driven.

I tried a Ford Focus and Renault Megane, both were no good anyway but I must admit the image thing did come into the equation.

I have a 4 month old baby and my wife drives a Ford Puma (she is 33). We both feel that as long as we can fit the appropriate quick-release car seat in a car and it will accept a folded up pushchair, a little suitcase and a few Tesco carrier bags, why on earth would we sell our souls, give up the reason for living, and get one of those caravan sized bricks that people think you have to have when a child comes along.

I don't think my forthcoming Leon FR is either too "young" or "old" for my age!
