Hi Everyone, I need some help on this one, I am looking into getting another car and part ex my VW Golf MK4 1.6 S. Reason being I have had the VW for a year now and have had nothing but problems (with the Engine Management Light), I have been told it will need an engine rebuild (£1000+)
Which leads me to this question, I have been told Jap cars are the way forward, BUT I just love the design and build quality of the German cars. So I have two in mind…
Do I go for a

SEAT IBIZA 1.4 16v (100bhp) Sportrider 2008

Or,
AUDI A3 1.6 SPECIAL EDITION 2005

They are both a similar price, but obviously AUDI parts and servicing will be a lot more £’s. The Ibiza will have only done 15,000miles (with 12 month warranty), whereas the Audi 70,000 (with 3 months warranty). I’m more concerned about the reliability of the cars, so from all of your experiences which one should I go for? The safe option Ibiza or the Swanky Audi??

Cheers :biglaugh:
