The cost of a new 145 has come down as replaced by 147. A lot of car for the money, though.
Costs
Steep insurance for younger drivers.

Driving
It's a beast. Get rid of the GTI and get one of these!
Performance
Loves speed, especially on country roads. Noise of the engine is a dream.

No problems so far (touch wood!).
