The old crocks don't do it.  My Alfasud was a better sports hatch than the Mk1 VW GTI.
The Mk2 was a lardy old lady cf the mk1.
Mk's 3 & 4 were poor (even in V6 garb).
The Mk5 was good.
So good it was taking sales from Audi.
The new GTI is not a good looker.  It is designed to make Audis look better.

If you have a Mk5 GTI (even a coloured in ED30) then keep it.  It might not get any better.
Correct as always Eggy  :laugh: good to see you back  :wink:

Drive a BMW 1 Series and you will realise how good a car can handle!

Do the Beemer 1's handle good then? My old man is thinking of getting a 1 series

Get one. Get a 118d, chip it... 200+bhp, 50mpg+ £30 road tax

Its a no brainer of a car

Well the old man is getting a 120d M-sport this week, fully loaded for a very good price  :cool: :cool:

I have enjoyed owning my 07 Golf gti, but after 2 years I just couldn't put up with the poor interior build quality, too many damn rattles.. I think I also got a bit bored of the power (although it still puts a smile on face from time to time). So I just did the deal on a new BMW 135i coupe and it's a fond farewell to the GTi! I know you can't really compare the 2 cars as there is over 100 hp difference and a few thousand pounds.. but the Beema just blew me away when I test drove it, and I new I had to have it! Getting a pretty decent price for my Golf though, which surprised me as the spec is pretty basic. I think the demand for good ones is picking up again.
