Title: My first GTi
Post by: GreyVILLAn on 11 February 2012, 01:54

Hi,
Recently had a Renault Clio 200  :smiley: and was driving past a VW dealer's and spotted this beauty
on the forecourt.   :tongue:

Well a couple of day's later I had a test drive, and was instantly won over and signed on
the dotted line.  :grin:
Can't wait to give it a proper drive, when the weather improves.
The Clio 200 is a great car but the Golf is in a different league.  :laugh:
OH YES.  :wink:

That looks really nice, and a very high spec too. Congrats and welcome.

That last shot is very moody, it looks like the car is just emerging from Hell! Still, from your username I guess you're from around Brum so that may not be far off the truth!!  :laugh:

How does it compare to the Clio?

nice car mate

i came from a 197 to the golf and i love the golf as an overall package but it doesn't compare to the clio for handling and fun when on the right road but for the other 90% of the time its a better car.

How the Golf compares to the Clio, well mkviken hit the nail on the head, the Clio is a great handling and fun car to drive:
