All i needed was a MK3 golf mainly so i can pick up my little girl, 8v or 16v i wasnt fussed, Its nippy enough around town and im not gonna go mad in it lol

Its comfortable and has the luxury of everything being electric and looks smart. Job done hehe

sure enough mk3 is nippy around town but thats about it. Lets be honest, as much as I love my gti i do admit it lack alot of performance. I mean, a 1.25l mk6 fiesta doesnt come far behind me.......

Well as the title mentioned i picked up my first GTI 8v

Its the one G60GTI16V was selling and it does not disappoint in any way at all!

Have just managed to tax it in time to haha (thanks god waitrose is open on sunday)

Cheers for the car buddy and good meeting ya

did you upgrade from a 1.4?  :grin: as an 8v gti owner myself, gotta say it lacks performance!


I did upgrade from a 1.4, and although it is quicker! its nothing to shout about at all. yes its only 115bhp so i knew i wasnt geting a quick car, i got it because its the car i wanted regardless of the speed it has! unfortunatly i have the pleasure of driving 150bh plus at work which makes it seem woefully inadequate
