I finally bought a GTI on Saturday. I have been after an Edition 30 DSG 5 Door for aaaages but have been having no luck, unless I travel 250 miles and the ones I have seen couldn't do me a good finance deal anyway.
Anyway, decided to just go for the GTI and bought a 57 plate with 6,000 miles in Reflex Silver.
Spec:
5 Dr DSG
Full Leather
MFSW with highline
Sat Nav (MFD2 unfortunately but oh well) with 6 CD changer in Armrest
Xenons
Lux Pack
Winter Pack
Sun Roof
Cruise
and also comes with a tracker just for good measures :smiley:
So basically fully loaded.
I can't wait!!
I kept thinking if I get a GTI then I will always wish I had got the Ed30 but as the spec is pretty big on the one im getting I think im going to be more than happy.
I could always get a remap for more power if I feel the need I suppose :wink:
-
Good luck with the collection, no better feeling than picking up a new car :cool:
-
Looks like a great spec you've got there. Enjoy!
-
Nice! How much did that set you back?
-
congrats on the purchase. Welcome to the golf club!

Congrats. Thats a very good spec, you wont regtret buying a gti :wink:

It was up for £22,995 but I negotiated £800 off as I went armed with tons of adverts, PCP quotes etc. I probably still paid too much people will no doubt tell me but im happy now!
Bought the misses a 55 reg Polo while we there as well and managed to get that on a 2 year PCP at £100 p.m. Bargain... that will keep her quiet for a bit!

Until some little scroate keys it just like my Type-R I had (nice 'smile' shape on the bonnet) and the Vauxhall Ashtray I traded in for the Golf (nice long scratch down the nearside rear wing and door). If it happens again I think I will either 1) Sob uncontrollably or 2) Commit a murder

nice one mate....dont swear around forum though (type R) i presume a civic?!? :sick: :sick: :grin:

I was worried when I got my GTI, when I insured the car with Direct Line the policy included vandalism cover.
The good thing about a silver GTI is that it just blends in very easily and doesn't stand out when it's parked up.

You have the same thinking as me with my 1st 2 GTi's, your never happy till you own one, ive been there, and to be honest or though a good spec car by the looks of it, you WILL always wished you had just waited a tad longer for a good spec ed30 to pop up. It cost me a few Grand in damage to my pocket, but i couldnt be happier right now ( maybe with a milltek fitted id be EVEN MORE happier).
Great car non the less, and WILL make you smile from ear to ear. Enjoy it, We all here are the lucky few that can afford a Mk5, so enjoy every drive like its your last! :smiley:
By the way pics asap please. It is your duty :grin: :wink:

Yes a Civic! Great car for me a few years ago but im into a bit of refinement now.
The CTR was brilliant, did exactly what it was supposed to. I think Honda have ruined the Type-R ethos now to be honest but if they didn't offer all the creature comforts and toys on the new CTR then they couldn't compete in todays market with the likes of the Golf Gti, Focus ST etc
