Yep, they sold the Golf+ here as a petrol 2.0l GT in 2005/06. They discontinued it as everyone in the UK is diesel crazy. Very nice car to drive, bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing. I have never liked diesel cars .....until I drove the X1 Still would have liked the X1 in a 2.5 or 3.0l petrol though. I have spoken to BMW UK and they have told me that it aint gonna happen here. My dealer says thats its too expensive for them to convert the petrol to a RHD for what is a small market here for petrols.

Anyway happy with the 2.0l diesel I drove. Gonna sell the Golf () and Mini () soon and get something faster.....and petrol......
