Hi, I'm new to this forum but been researching used models.
I'm looking for a DSG estate with a decent spec, particularly it must have parking sensors. Parkers says the trims that have this included are (MkII) Elegance, SE Connect, SE Plus, L&K and with MkIII its all except the basic S model, but I know Parkers is not always right?
I wanted to know if when it comes as standard for the trim it would always be the optical/visual parking system or sometimes its just the beepers. Are there any trims that always have the optical system and fronts as well as rears?
Apart from that is there anything to know about when comparing a late MkII with MKIII? I prefer the interior and shape of the MkIII but could live with MkII if it saves me some cash and is basically the same underneath. I'm not really sure about best engines either, I think petrol is probably fine for us (we will do a few very long trips during the year but all short trips otherwise) however most models on the market are Diesel and in particular the 1.6 TDI. Are there any DPF issues to worry about?
Also considering a Golf Estate but its even harder to get the spec (parking sensors at least).
