New here. Had many Golfs, just bought first GTI
« on: 18 June 2017, 22:51 »
Hi all,

The the vast majority of the time i have been driving (17 years) i have had a golf of some kind or other, all of them red.

Just spent the last few months looking for my first GTI - especially a MKV as, more than any other model to my mind, it is the one that you see and just instantly go "thats a GTI". A lot of other MKs are too subtle!

Tried a nice black DSG but i felt like i was being robbed of half the driving experience. Found an absolutely gorgeous electric blue (dont know the actual VW colour) manual but it was trash on the inside even though the engine was right. So i went with... yet another red one :) Expecting to take delivery in the next couple of days.

Some interesting posts on these forums helped me check out the cars and make the decision so i wanted to say hi and thanks for the useful info! Looking forward to listening to that engine every day
