Should have my 1.6 fsi SE in just over a week  :).  Saw a diamond black MK5 on the road the other day and it looked stunning.

its got to be laser blue pearl.

I would go for one of these but i think loking at spec its got to be GT level at least to get all the goodies like 2zone climate, got to have the 17's added, plus gotta have the winter pack, and the foldy mirrors.

But i'll wait till end of the year when the interesting variants come out, 200 bhp diesel will be fun, especially with a DSG box and hopefully 4 wheel drive.

PS looked at that link for the mk5 gttdi and thats a good price, i checked ltsb staff cars and i can' tbeat it there and they are usually up to 25% reduced(staff perk).

But check this out, some last of the line mk4's run out stock

Good stuff.

Not got the MK5 yet - I've been told it is in transit, at the docks or something.  Just hope they're not hanging on to it for a few days themselves using it for people to test drive.

how about just dont bother with the mk5, go out buy yaself a mint mk2 and spend the extra what is it ?16k on it??  Sorry no offense, I spose its a matter of taste but the mark 5 doesn't really set my pants on fire, kinda looks like every other car on the road these days.  Respect to all golf drivers though!!! Just sticking my two pence worth in :)

Got it  :D

Have put a few pictures in the Gallery. Too tired to figure out how to link them in this post.

So far so good, I'm surprised at how nippy it is, can't wait for the engine to loosen up.  I saw my neighbour walk round it twice yesterday giving it a good eyeballing - so he must like it.

Congratulations mate, that looks great.

How is it to drive? Can you feel the improvement in chassis dynamics?

Mine is in for new brakes a week today, so I'll take one out for a blat then I think.

The Mk5's that I have seen and prodded and poked have been real quality items - the paint finish was the best I have ever seen.

You've got yourself a nice car there mate  ;)

Cheers S11EPS

The drive is superb, very refined and great for crusing on motorways - it's unbelievably smooth and the cruise control makes life a lot easier.

I can definately feel a big difference in handling between this and my previous MK4.

There are NO more annoying little creaks and I suppose that's partly down to the new weld methods.  The only thing that is a little dissapointing is that the interior quality let's it down a bit, too plasticy, but I can live with it  :)
