I am currently considering changing my 1986 Opel Corsa 1.0
(Vauxhall Nova) - 38,000 miles, utterly reliable! I have more or
less narrowed its successor to either a Volkswagen Golf 1.3C or
an Opel Kadett 1.3S LS (Astra 1.3 Merit). The merits of both cars
as I see it are as follows:
Kadett: Free revving 75bhp ohc engine
Nicer shape
Better Equipment
Standard 5-speed box
Livlier!
Golf: Build quality/solidity
Resale value
Space
Slight handling advantage
The difference in trade-in value against either is negligable.
I have a slight preference for the Kadett - but could be swayed
in favour of the Golf.
I'd appreciate opinions please!
Frank.
PS. Irish prices may interest you!
Volkswagen Golf 1.3C 5dr: �10,350
Opel kadett 1.3S LS 5dr: �10,475
CRAZY!!!

My friend is changing his car.He was thinking of getting a golf GTI 16V
but the insurance stung him abit.So do any of you have an opinion on
which of the either of these cars he should get.
Pug 205 1.6 GTI,
Astra SRI 1.8.
Rover 216 GTI.
He's thinking of spending about 8K.The car has to be reliable,cheapish
to run,and have a bit of poke.He's also 6ft 4,so it needs to have a
decent bit of leg room.
Thanks in advance.

The insurance on a Golf GTi 8V won't be so bad and its performance
isn't much worse
