What car - similar to VW Golf tdi

[Puggit]

Colleague is on the hunt for a new car, so I agreed to help...

Budget 12k

Ideally a VW Golf, or same size 5 door hatch. 140bhp, heated seats and cup-holders, less than 20k miles are the requirements. Nope, I can't find one exactly like that either - hence reaching out to the TV&S massive. Location for centre of search is Amazingstoke.

Red or white colour a no-no - black preferred.

Help!

Seat Leon? FR model is 170bhp but otherwise fits all the requirments!

Astra?

What about a Focus?

Any reason it has to be 140bhp? I found the Leon to be about the best compromise if money won't quite stretch to a VW golf, you can certainly get a Leon that's 1-2 years newer with half them mileage +better spec for the same cash.

Bit of haggling for a boring Golf?: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2013...

Or the better option for a performance diesel 'Golf' (170bhp): http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2012...

Audi?: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2013...

Or something seriously good to drive that won't depreciate very fast? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2012...

Thanks for the effort guys, but heated seats is a must.

Doesn't have to be a Golf if it's the right spec. I chucked a Fabia vRS at her and got no reply (admittedly the front is U.G.L.Y)

Really? Does he suffer from some sort of cold arse syndrome? Or GHEY for short?

It's a slim, young lady who likes to wear short skirts

A lot of the Leon FR's will have heated seats, there were loads around when I was looking! Any with the winter pack basically but keep an eye on the Seat.co.uk used/approved site (nation wide search) as most decent dealers will bring in a car to the area if you make serious noise about it.
