Heres the thing. I'm about to get my drivers license soon and so comes the exciting prospect of a new car! :D And being a VW fan there's a great chance I'll buy one. But which one?

The following are my list of choices and my opinions of each. Please, throw your ideas at me!

Golf 5 1.6 (Looks amazing but unfortunately it seems a bit heavy and so its a bit slow with that 1.6l engine (0-60 of 11 seconds))
Golf 5 2.0 (Again, great looks and good performance but too pricey at the moment. The affordable ones are high mileage)
Golf 4 GTi (Seems like a nice car, but most of the models for sale seem to be high mileage and I'm concerned about servicing costs for the car. If I can find one with low mileage this might be a winner)
Jetta 1.8T (2004 model) (Seems like a good choice, great performance and decent looks, but does it handle well?)
Polo 2.0 (Latest 2006/7 model) (Looks quite nice and performance is good for the 2.0l)

Ford Fiesta ST (Great little car, awesome performance and even better looks, a winner in my eyes but the fact that its a 2-door is putting me off unfortunately, a real pity)
Ford Focus 1.6 (Great looks but mediocre performance)

I'm not really interested in much else. I seriously dislike toyotas, the new hondas dont impress me and fiats and opels have never done much for me.

Anyway, tell me what you think.

Hello and welcome to the Forum.
Golf 4 GTi is an great car. But in Germany where i'm comming from it is too expensive in insurance for younger People.I wish you good Luck with your new Car.
