Thanks ....... I guess that not many people opt for the D4 due to the cost?

our D5 is a manual so has identical power and torque as the D4.....
so 180ps and 400nm. I'm hoping for the new one to drive as nice

The Golf we have is the 170PD Diesel and is far more lively in the lower revs
but does not sounds as nice as the 5 pot.

We got the LUX 6 speed manual version and only added the rear privacy glass. We are leasing the car so didn't want to add too much as it adds to the monthly payment on the retail price.

we wanted white but worked out better to get a metallic colour.
We wanted to empasise the grey inserts on the bumpers etc but
ultimately wanted something easy to look after.

The black one we have now can't be washed in sun and gets dusty easy but looks the best when it comes down to the depth of shine. I've seen a few black ones and really like them but it was the Mrs's decision as its her car !

We have 18" wheels now and tyres have been expensive - The V40 comes with 225/45/17 which is a common and popular size
And our winter wheels should fit straight on too.
