just a mk5 with a remap
The bad news is the car will only be available in Holland and just 300 are being produced. The GTI 240 is set to retail for €31 995

Decent!
I like anything that is over and above regular versions, hence i suppose my choice in the Pirelli.
An output of 230/240 PS is the kind of output I think the Golf should be pushing, especially since the current standard 200PS seems far below that of the competition!
In all the Mk6 GTI chat there seems to be thoughts that this car will have 210PS output? This would surely be a step backwards since it would neither match the competition and would also be a drop back from the ED30/Pirelli and this new edition engine outputs. Having said this the GTI-R would probably address these power issues however it would be nice IMO to have the standard car have an output similar to 230/240PS as otherwise i would prob feel short changed given the relative price premium!

what a load of rubbish, asiff they will sell all 300 in holland before the mk6 comes out.no golf R-gti for me, S3 all the way :cool:

S3? :lipsrsealed:
Not sure I would do that! Not a fan of the A3, rather boring even in Sportline styling! Each to their own of course! I'd prob take a 1 series instead!

these are your views and i totally understand where you are coming from as you havnt even got your gti so you will be very excited about taking delivery, and in your eyes the perelli will be the best car ever WAAAAAY better than a S3.
in my eyes its not!i think the s3 is a slight league above the gti and a good car to move onto from a gti
hopefully by march :cool: :cool: il have an ibis white s3 :drool: :drool:

Funny you say that P, I spent ALOT of time up there as I have lots of mates who go there. Im there in a few weeks time actaully, weekend of the 3rd -6th October. You up there?

it depends what you are comparing it to :huh:
Type R no chance even if it is standard, VXR/ ST would still struggle with a std GTI!
-
Also, id MUCH rather be sitting inside a GTI than the papermashe interiors or the VXR and ST (the ST interior is trully awful imo)

Yeah, its a craking night out at the LCR, first time I went there I got lost, I couldnt get over how big it was. How long ago did you leave?
Sory to go off topic peeps.

I did management for 4 years, left in July this year! Very sad to leave! The LSC is a big night, so many rooms! In May/June this year i saw a 3dr Black GTI with black monza IIs in the student village a number of times. Was this yours!?
When I get my car n pay a visit in a month or two ill let you know! There's a vodka Revs in town now so that should be worth a go on a sat night having dominated the union on the fri! :evil:
-
il do the mirrors after my dinner :cool: :afro:
-

It has the same engine and set-up as the ED30. Comes with Different alloys and upholstery.
You also get tinted rear glass, centre arm rest and heated seats as standard. Think thats about it!
http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/Volkswagen-Golf/232211/
Unlike on the continent, here in the UK it is only available in black, silver and blue. NOT the yellow in some photos! Hope that helps!

You will have to let us know when your up. That might well have been me as I was up there around that time. I would have been parked up at the houses around the back of Sainsburys. Do you know Storer Road (there is a church on this road) or Station Way? Thats where I would have been.
The student girls love the GTI, its easy pickings mate lol :D :evil:

A GTI Mk5 with around 230-250 bhp is a perfect package imo - Not too much of a FWD handful and very well balanced for UK roads and still totally adequate for the autobahns.

I agree RedRobin, a nice balanced package. :smiley:
-
Very true, but a remap alone will give you this nice balanced package.

Not for a standard GTI with a few extra's
You can get a Pirelli for that money easily. :wink:
