What's you're favourite GTI ?
« on: 23 July 2009, 13:12 »
For any reason at all, what's been your fav GTI over the past 30+ years ?


GTI mk6, 3dr Manual (Yes Manual! If I wanted a Taxi I'd hail one, not spend £1500 on one), Candy White, Full Leather, Xenons, ACC, 18", RCD510 + Dynaudio, DAB Radio, Winter Pack, Luxury Pack, Fiscon Bluetooth Plus, Golf R LED's.

Obvious answer from a MkV owner, although I have always loved the MkII since I was about 10 when they started doing the run out models.

One day my MkII dream will come true.

I like the mk1, what a car in its day, few faults but no-one seemed to care  :grin:

I'm gonna plump for the mk6 as my fav for the reason its the first one i will own.

Same reasoning as me I guess.

MkI was ground breaking, the MkII was just the first car that really got me obsessed as a kid. Although I did like my dad's 1987 D reg white ford capri 1.6 laser  :smug:

Dunno.  I test drove a Mk III in 1997 and wasn't especially impressed.  I didn't buy one.  I test drove a Mk VI less than three weeks ago, and I am buying one.  I have had no contact with any of the others.

But I like new cars....

GTi MKII, dark grey BIG BUMPER edition, stripped out and converted to run on VR6 power!

 :drool: :drool: :drool: :laugh:
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

MK2 got my vote although id never be able to own one due to the milage I do, I need a bit of comfort. MK5 / 6 comes in at a close second.
