Well goodbye and thanks for the advice everyone

[matthewsimone]

Hi all just a quick 1 too say goodbye as ive sold my gti after just 5 months of ownership but made £790 profit on what i paid for it so well happy, as ive said in some of my previous posts i used to have a show condition series 1 rs turbo and since selling it have always missed the whole RS theme of things so decided to sell my 2006 gti and return to the world of Rs probably a focus Rs (original one)
The Golf is a great car but just a little to reserved and sensible for my liking  maybe its just because im only 24 lol and just need to get it out of my system or something, anyway thanks again for all advice etc and hope to be back on here one day when, maybe when ive grown up a little, regards, MATT

Nice honest post.Good luck with the search for a ''new'' RS.

Is it the new RS that you are going for now then?

I've just see the new Mk VI GTI in the flesh at Des Winks VW, Scarborough. In candy white with 18" Monzas. Looks a bit RS IMHO. More bling and boy racer'ish with vaned front ducts/oblong fogs, chromed steering wheel inserts and twin rear exhausts/rear diffuser

I'm sure it will be dynamically a bit better than the Mk V but at £27k for the example I saw - still a mature drivers price

I personally loved the Mk V, best GTI by a mile and a really good all rounder.

as alan d states ifti no im going for the original focus rs cant afford nearely 30k for a new one and if i had 30k to spend then it certainly wouldnt be on a focus lol the original rs is one hell of a car imo 0-6 around 6 secs etc over a sec quicker than gti etc and with the rs badge should hopefully retain a bit of value in a few years time, (i hope) i think the rs is just a little more shouty and hardcore compared to the mk5 not that the gti isnt a fantastic car because it really is a great all rounder just want something a little madder even considered a v6 clio until discovered they dont go round corners haha

Matt, did you not consider making some mods to your GTI?

Mine is a completly diffrent car to drive after the mods Iv done and id hazard a guess at it being faster than an original Focus RS. OK it wont have the 4WD but . . . .

Just food for thought. Bit late now really. Best of luck (do like the Focus RS)
