Which MK5 Colour?

[16vmk3ash]

There is a solid darkish grey (battleship grey) Tdi and black 1.6 at my local dealership and in grey it looks wicked!. Dont go for black, it dont look that good in black!

I've just ordered a 1.6 FSi SE - Diamond Black   - Sad I'll be missing out on the GTI performance though  .  I know this is a GTI forum but I'll post a pic once I get it - Could be up to 8 weeks though.

Congratulations mate, well done.

I think the Mk5 is a thoroughly nice car.

In terms of not having the performance, the chassis is that much of an improvement, you'll be outhandling any non-turbo or 'R' badged MK4 golfs, so you won't be much slower on the move!

Did you get a good deal? Did you add on any options? They look great in black, the paint finish on the Mk5 is incredible

Cheers S11EPS

I test drove one yesterday (1.6) and was very impressed with how solid it felt and its handling, the guy took me on a good variety of roads - straights and bendy country lanes.  I was also contemplating, forgive me, a Toyota Corolla 1.6 T3 V VTi, which I test drove today, the engine of the Toyota felt more revvy and slightly quicker off the mark, but it just didn't have the handling and feel of the VW - The Toyota would have saved me a couple of K - but in the long term I want a motor I will be happy with for a long time and the MK5 swung it for me and plus it's a VW.

I didn't get a bad deal, neither was it a brilliant deal.   But becuase I'd only had my MK4 from the dealership for little over a month and I wasn't happy with it, they're letting me exchange it without losing any cost for what I paid for the car.  The car I test drove yesterday was at a different dealership because I was in the area at the time - they would have charged me a grand more than what I'm currently paying because I didn't get my MK4 from them.

There are no options on it - I would have liked to have had the sporty seats with the Opera Anthrecite covering but that was only available on the GT TDI models.

Are you tempted to go for one S11EPS?

Mine is on lease til June 05, so whilst I do look at new cars almost everyday, I can't do anything for 18 months.

I'm certainly interested to see what the GTi is gonna be like, but whatever I get next it'll be running the DSG box - I drive in London every day, and I'm sick of manuals!

ill look forward to seeing the pics of your new beast mate, well done again!
