Title: What's your favourite thing about your MKV GTI
Post by: G864 TST on 17 February 2008, 16:00
I know there is soooooooooo many wonderful things - but what's the one that makes you smile the most........

Steering wheel for me, the noise it makes as it slides through my hands
Had my GTI for 11 months and I still take a breath and smile as I turn the ignition key :grin:

**MK5 GTI**

The wheelspin  :grin: :grin: :evil: :evil:

lol. Just kidding. I like the interior, so posh and lush.
I also like the fact that when you pull up to a 5 Star Hotel the guy who opens the doors of the really "upper Class" cars will open your doors before his...  :laugh:

Basically the fact that the car has class and like Jeremy Clarkson put it:

A car that you take the kids to school in... And then drive home like you have just been bitten by a wasp  :evil:

ALSO-

A hatch back that has hotel porters running...The MK5 GTi is the ultimate GTi.

Basically I just love how underrated the car is and how many people it shocks and how much attention it draws.

Mine is something I just discovered by accident the other day (i'm sure everyone else already knows). Its a bit sad but i like how you can get the nearside wing mirror to point down when reversing  :tongue:

Ohh, that and the engine is ok too I guess (previous car was a fiesta).

Welcome to the forum Ricardo.

Thanks for the welcome. Maybe I was being a bit harsh with the ok comment, it is pretty awesome coming from the fiesta though the fiesta did have the special feature of brakes that felt like you walking on blamonge ;)

Post by: Phil mcavity on 17 February 2008, 19:06
i like the lift off sound from the turbo whistle especially if you lift off quick doing about 2500rpm with the window down sounds great.That puts a smile on my face every time.

And i like Holy , the sat nav women!!, especially when she sounds all butch when she says "3"  hehe

I like the exhaust note, not sure you get the same note on the gti, but the ed30 is spot on.

I love how the girls love sitting in it. I love the whiss sound from the turbo and I love the acceleration. I love how it looks 10x better than a normal golf and I just love the seats. Sitting in it is like having a girl wrap her hands around you and hold tight :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

**No offence meant**

and you purchased your mk5 yourself at age 17 did you??   **no offence meant**

and yes character... i get to do mods on my car... could easily afford to run a mk5 without modding it but where would be the fun in that? i'm running mine with koni sports coilovers so it doesn't roll thanks  :tongue:

I agree on blue dials, but tints are too light for my taste. I wish they were a bit darker.

- Wind down one window.
- Select 3rd gear.
- Enter a tunnel, preferably under the Alps.

- Add a pinch of right boot.

= My GTi recipe for love.  :grin:

The small things...

Glowing red needles even when the lights are not on
Coming home lights with xenons  :cool:
The DSG burp when changin gear, I'll never get board of that.

Bad things....
