Should be picking up my new car tomorrow!
Back in a VW... Sold the S3 and it's being picked up tomorrow.
I'm getting a Black MK5 GTI DSG 2006 on 67000 miles. Paid £5800 for it. FSH... Totally immaculate!
So excited!!!!

Nice. Remap and enjoy. Make sure that DSG box has a service if it's not listed and a cambelt too. Looking good though :smiley:
-
Mk5 Gti awesome cars. Good choice.

try both then say that :smug:
-
Tried a focus ST - not my thing. Big, cumbersome and lazy power.
DSG has been serviced along with filter last year along with timing belt kit!
Needs a new thermostat though.

Don't know mate it just felt heavy and I tried a 320bhp stage 2. Fast yes - fun? No. Gti reminds me of my old MK2, love it. No Haldex system weighing it down like my S3.
Although I do miss my S3's stance.
Next up after the head unit, it's getting slammed on some nice alloys

Suppose it's all about taste at the end of the day. The ST just doesn't do it for me. The RS however...
-
There are loads of St's about and they are not selling. The Mk5 Gti looks far better and will hold value.

are you joking mk5s can be had for 4k now :whistle:
-
Have to agree st was a better car to drive but they look push and forever Angus the mk5 unless it's the ed30 are not holding there value well!!
-
Seems funny hearing the mk5 being dismissed. There are a lot of good 200+BHP cars out there but the guys gone with a mk5 as he likes the thing. Yes mk5 can be had reasons my now but don't forget were are now on the 7th generation. Good value and reasonable engineered cars at the end of the day and he's stayed in the VW fold :afro:
-
Ultimately, it's ticked all of the boxes.
Quick - Yes
DSG - Yes
Low mileage - Yes
Economical - Yes
Blank Canvas - Yes
FSH - Yes
Also - the fact that I paid £5800 for a low mileage, mint example - when these on the bay or pistonheads are going for between 6500 for high milers and 8000 for low milers... I think I've got a bit of a bargain.
I love it, and would have a MK5 over an ST anyday.
Going to go for these alloys

Maybe so at the moment. End of the day the Mk5 is a smart man car and the St is a chav boy racer car in my opinion.

End of the day the guy has a new car and is chuffed about it. Last thing he wants to hear are people saying 'you should have got this, you should have got that instead' He has got an awesome car there. You like the ST thats fine.

Agreed. I'd have a Mk5 over a focus any day and I really wouldn't care what anyone else had to say about the matter. I don't buy cars based on what other people might think about them, I buy them because I want them.
VdubNinja - looking forward to seeing the Dub Rides thread :wink:
-
Agreed :smiley:

i only asked if he tried the st :wink: then said it was a better driver than the mk5 never once said to the op he should have bought an st only try it
-
I wouldn't try an ST because I wouldn't want to look like a thug.
Different folks, different strokes. You realise this is a VW forum, right?
-
I know! Whats that about lol

Have u driven either? And of course people will disagree but the fact the mk5 is depreciating is true... Once again not slating themk5 simply pointing out that have driven both and the st was a nice drive.... If u have not driven both both then why bother making a comment on our points!!!
-
Yes I have driven both. My old man had a Mk5 Gti and my sisters husband has a ST.
-
Plus the FT image and mpg are sh!t

There's only one way to settle this - you both need to measure up your cocks, because this thread is heavy with cock-waving certain quarters. :grin:

Great choice of car Vdubninja. You know my thoughts on the MK5. I wish I had one. :(
I am however, very happy with my V5 Bora. It'll do for now.
