Leon Cupra R

Thank you Andrew.

Last month I booked a Ford Focus hire car for half term in Spain.
They gave me a Seat Leon instead (diesel manual).

It's obviously based on a Golf but I found every single detail to be inferior.
Not a car I would like to own.

Needed to buy a larger car and was looking at various 5 door cars for a few months following the birth of my daughter. I eventually decided on a nearly new 5 door GTi which was absolutely superb to drive and ticked all the boxes as far as space and performance was concerned..Here are some comments made by some work colleagues coupled with what they drive :

"you paid how much!"  - drives an Aygo 
"not very practical. What if you have another kid"  - drives a 4 year old Mondeo Estate with roofbox
"expensive to run, and sh!t mpg. Insurance is far too much for me"  - drives a Pug 307Di
"you've got more money than sense"  - Rides GSXR750, BMW1100S and drives a Megane conv 08 ?
"yeah..(long pause)..i would have gone for a LCR in white instead i mean, thats a golf anyway" - Drives a 5 year old Vectra

Only one person has said "nice car" and he rides a Yamaha R1

I guess envy is a wonderful thing !

Your work colleagues sound like a right bunch of w8nk3rs 

They are!!

When I bought mine I got questioned why I chose white, why I specced a sunroof because nobody has a sunroof these days (from someone that owns a TT!) and why I bought a brand new one because I would lose so much in depreciation. 

I also get asked how much I paid for it (which I think is rude because they're not interested in buying one, just nosey), how much the insurance is and get told that I must get paid too much.

Same here with my mates. Felt a bit awkward tbh

Great for the birds tho, even they know what a GTI is

Took a friends mate for a spin in mine and she was making little noises everytime I put my foot down. Shes abit of a petrolhead. Didnt even have to touch her 

Another compliment was from a manager at work, he told me to stop parking next to him because I am making him look like a kunt. 

He had a Proton at the time.

I find the GTI is one of those cars that people love and respect.  Only negatives I hear are from skoda/seat crew who start with, "i didnt buy the golf because" and then basically beat around the fact that it was more expensive

i got the octavia vrs over a standard gti cause its a better car , drives better , handles better , every thing only when the ed30 came out i decided to change !

I'll be intrigued as to what comments I get, as I haven't got mine yet. But those I've told, I've received nothing but compliments.

My current Audi S4, well, that's a different matter. Boring, turbo-charged armchair blah blah blah...... all shut up when we go for a spin..... and it tears their face off with the torque. Several have gone very quiet during mid-conversation!!LOL!!!

My last car - a modded Scooby. I had everything. Spitting on the car was probably the worst Never had any vandalism though
One girl said to me at our first introduction at work, "Oh, YOUR the one with the loud and noisy car"!!!

One Impreza with Full-Decat  I used to fire it up and it SHOOK the windows at work!!! My work colleagues always knew when I was coming or going!!! Not always a good thing!! LOL. My mate has a race can on his Bandit. Always showing off when he starts it up. Until I started up the Scoob

Hey ho!!!

The Golf will have a Miltek

Cant wait to get a ED30 and get insulted, my standard reply will be......'Yeah, not yours though is it?'
