Pick-up is brilliant to have and look at , BUT drive one before You buy , It's tiny inside and driving position is very 'upright' , not as rare as Mini Vans which is surprising . Polo TDi very economical but totally boring . life is too short in My opinion . but thats only My opinion and You all know what I think Diesel is for , Yes Tractors, right Alvin . :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Andy, I used to have a pick-up, and they are great fun (sorry I sold it) as for the polo (get a life :lol: ) you wont earn much street cred. in one of them, but you are going the right way with the diesel.
