The mk5 GTI genuinely is one of those cars that attracts very little negative comment and is generally respected by almost all. The only negative comments I've ever heard are that they are 'too common' or 'everybody has a GTI'. Well, where I come from certainly not everybody has one but they are quite popular because they are such a good all rounder.

They're not cheap but as the beer advert says ''Refreshingly expensive''   :laugh:

It's the first car I have ever owned that has never provoked an insult.
I can't think of any other car on Earth that could do that.



Anyone else feel embarrassed for that cringe worthy statement. Its like watching the crap singers on xfactor fail  :undecided:

As you are the owner of an old fashoned V6 petrol glugging 4WD you just can't understand, that's all.
Should have bought a GTI methinks.

I don't really get any insults about the GTI, though I did have the p!ss taken out of me at the JKM RR day - because I removed the red piping from the grille.

But I do get some occasional snidy comments about my RS4 though - basically they seem to be the 'jealous' types of comments.  Well fcuk-em!

GTI'ers never get asked that.  It's the great big silver hooter on R32's that puzzle people.
Most normal people think R32s are Nissans.
