The fact it's a Mk 4 GTI and not Mk 5  :wink:

Mk5 is the sh!t!!

The fact it isnt already remapped to at least 300hp and pretty much come with all the mods illyun has.

flimsy plastic interior, especially the parcel shelf where the plastic locating lugs have broken off rendering it useless. Just need to find a replacement now!  :sad:

The recaros are a pain to get to the rear with 3 door (worth it though)

It doesnt have keyless entry and go (cant be that expensive, my mate clio has it!)

I think I've been on the forums for far too long today.. it took me about 5 minutes to register what you meant - and that included going through your posts to see what mods your Ed30 had to make it 300bhp  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Mine would have to be:

1. single reverse light
2. indicators at rear poorly positioned and difficult to see when the brake lights are on.
3. Passenger seat belt buckle keeps banging against the B pillar.
4. Would be nice to have a warning light on the dash for the front fogs as they do on the rear ones.
5. Hi line computer not standard and not mentioned or recommended by the stealer when purchasing !
6. White worm on rear tailgate handle (just outside the warranty).
7. MFD2 not mp3 compatible even though new it cost over a grand !
8. Pretty sh!te ipod integration unless you have deep pockets for RNS510 or after market.

Even with the above, would I get another. Definately, absolutley fantastic car.

audio is appalling for this type of car
xenons and highline should be standard.

Warning light for low washer fluid should be standard, even my 06 Astra had that and all the latest VXR's have keyless entry and go, quite a cool touch.


And lol @ illyun  :grin:

I wish I'd ordered mine with some 18s, then again I don't really like the Monza IIs, and pescara's weren't an option. Oh, and I'm annoyed I cheaped out and didn't get DSG. If I buy the new model in a couple of years I reckon DSG and a set of those funky turbine looking Scirocco alloys would be on the spec list.

Aside from features? I miss the grunt, 4wd, and driving position of the WRX, even if I don't miss the mini cab interior. That's about it though.

The two wheels that adjust the dash lights and headlight aim are squashed together and hidden.
Terrible ergonomics and dangerous to adjust. (and carried over into the Mk4.75)
