Title: I'll tell you what I like....
Post by: starlingadey on 22 May 2009, 09:47: The way that the wipers tuck down so you can't see them from the drivers seat! Now,when I drive my wifes car...hers look really untidy.Just thought I'd share that with you...goodbye!

Post by: starlingadey on 22 May 2009, 09:54: And I think I might like the steering wheel toooo much...I often just sit stroking it and running my hands around it...?!

Post by: ifti on 22 May 2009, 10:18: I stroke my wheel as well ;)

I do too, sometimes. Especially when my girlfriend sits next to me. She finds it funny, while at the same time she says that I love my car more than her. :rolleyes:

Post by: the dude on 22 May 2009, 12:01: I love that when I press the foot pedal on teh right my car goes forwards, and then sometimes, when I press it....it goes backwards too,
And then when I get out, im in a different place to when I got in! :shocked:

Also when the wiper has finished, it gives itself a little courtesy wipe to get rid of any drips slowly falling down.

Post by: starlingadey on 22 May 2009, 22:24: Out where....out of our houses or cars??
Title: Re: I'll tell you what I like....
Post by: stealthwolf on 23 May 2009, 00:00: I like the steering wheel too. But my fave feature at the mo is the way the windscreen washers are hidden in the bonnet, not on display like other cars.

I don't seem to use the arm rest much.
Title: Re: I'll tell you what I like....
Post by: starlingadey on 23 May 2009, 21:47: Agree re arm rest..for me,it slides around too much or gets in the way when changing gear.

:shocked: the armrest shouldn't slide around!

Post by: Jimp on 23 May 2009, 22:16: I love the leather steering wheel. It's so nice and soft!
Title: Re: I'll tell you what I like....
Post by: ifti on 23 May 2009, 22:30: Have my arm on the armrest all the time!
Title: Re: I'll tell you what I like....
Post by: starlingadey on 23 May 2009, 23:06: Hi Stealthwolf...When I say it slides around...I mean it locks in different height positions but will still move backwards or forwards. Not a huge issue as you can comfortably rest on it on a journey..I just find it gets in the way when changing gear.Maybe a boon for those with dsg more than manuals?
Title: Re: I'll tell you what I like....
Post by: smartypants on 24 May 2009, 08:54: Yeah it does slide back too easily, but i've missed having an arm rest in my previous car, so its probably just a novelty for me :D

I love all the lighting on the GTI, love approaching the car at night unlocking, Xenons blink on, the mirror lights show the way, and the interior of the car glows to welcome you in. Its a work of art :)

Since owning the GTI, I've found them immensely useful. In my old car, most of the shopping would stay put. In the GTI, I go round corners so fast, I end up with scrambled eggs! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Post by: Peskarik on 31 May 2009, 07:14: I like to sit in my car and polish that stick. Just touching it and feeling the little pimples sends shivers down my spine. :wink:

Post by: kevinz925 on 04 June 2009, 17:19: I just love sitting there and looking at it. It is very hard for a car to look nice from every possible angle! But mk5 GTI did it !!
Title: Re: I'll tell you what I like....
Post by: starlingadey on 05 June 2009, 09:49: Ditto above!!! I have to check the neighbours aren't watching me walk around it gazing lovingly.When will this madness stop? Had car 4 months...ain't wearing off yet!

Same here! The car is just park outside my living room window so I could sit inside the house and relish it !! Although it looks nearly perfect from every angle, I'm still looking for the best, the ultimate perspective for this beauty. I nominate the 45 degree angle from behind the car for the prize. What you reckon? :nerd:

Post by: ifti on 05 June 2009, 13:07: I keep looking at the car when Im at work - since she's directly outside my work window. Just gotta turn my head to the left, and there she is ;)

At home, she's tucked straight into the garage ;)
