Gutted she didn't get a GTI

47bhp is a lot to miss; even more if you then add a cheeky remap into the mix

Whilst I owned a Golf GTI I rather liked it.  But I am sure a Golf GT or GTD would be just a slow pootling misery.  Why not just buy the real deal?

After all "it's later than you think"

If you dont let her drive a GTI then she will be fine as she doesnt know what she is missing. GTI is a much better beast.

I think if you managed to get that for 4 grand than that's really cheap for such low miles and yes you'd definitely be hard pushed to find a GTI for that sort of money with low miles, if not impossible. The GT is sort of in the middle of it all. It's a great car of course but for me I would take the TDI over the FSI and if I could afford it the GTI over all.
