If you've got one with the black plastic, you haven't ticked enough options boxes or gone high enough up the range ;)

I def dont wanna Mk 4.

So in about 4/5 years when some of the first Gti's have dropped a bit i might go for one.
We got several in our office carpark and although they are lower models, the shape is growing on me.

Not sure.

The Gti is a 3 door

the GTI is 3 and 5 door.

and yeh 'seer, the 5's growing on me too.
the mk5 GTI looks quite nice, i like it 8)

cost an arm and a leg tho, dont think i could ever sanction buying 1 when 2nd hand R32's are getting so reasnoble in price in comparison ;)

Post by: Overseer on 12 October 2004, 09:27: you're missing a very serious point though.

servicing costs.. both the r32 and 4motion have scary prices for the servicing.. i think the r32 may well hold its value well.

Post by: marcus123 on 12 October 2004, 09:32: ::)

it certainley will do mate, the R32 is a future classic man 8)
