Post by: Whiteshirt on 20 February 2012, 16:29
Hi.
After having a mk5 gti and a mk5 gti ed 30.  I went weak, my knees trembled, and I went to the dark side.
(bought a BMW 123d then a Ford Kuga).

I have now fully recovered and seen the light again.

For April delivery.
White ed 35, sat nav, rear camera, fold mirrors, flat tyre thingy,dynaudio and multi function colour display.

Am I forgiven ????

I have to say, the 123d tempted me  - particularly in the 5th gear review when Plato summarised it as "the pace of a Golf GTI with diesel economy".

Buy anyway welcome back, the Edition 35 is a cracking car and I wish you many happy miles motoring in it.  :smiley:

Welcome to the forum.  :smiley:

my mate just went from new 2011 M3 with SMG to a new 116i petrol as he is sick of the poor economy! only had it 5 months or so.

Welcome back.

How did the 123d and Kuga compare with the mk5s?

Welcome back.

How did the 123d and Kuga compare with the mk5s?

The 123d is a good car with a brilliant engine, similar performance to the gti with better economy. However it is the most
uncomfortable car I have ever driven (short road test did not identify this). The sports 123d had the run flats and hard suspension, plus the seats were narrow, which added up to a very very uncomfortable ride.
The Kuga, was the other extreme, very comfortable, high up, but it was like driving a boat in the sea.
I am punishing myself by telling you this......must think of the gti.....must think of the gti....must think...      Relax

Sounds like you need a bit of GTI therapy to get over the mental anguish..


Enjoy.

You must hand round the keys to your ED35 to all forum members for your sins to be redeemed!  :laugh:
