Keeping the GTi another 2 & 1/2 years, then the negotiations begin with the missus about a more 'practical' car for kids...

I was thinking the base EVO X or a 330d Coupe in blue, but I'd happily run a S4 Avant...  :grin:

Let's face it, it'll end up being derv and a VRs estate, or something similar :laugh:
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

If I ever need/get forced in to having something bigger and more practical than the GTI (which the better half keeps calling practical anyway :laugh:) then I would look no further than an A4 Avant, probably the 3.0 diesel with the quattro.

Only Audi know how to make an estate look good.

I'd say Alfa Romeo also knows how to make estate look good. Check 159. Though, of course, calling those cars "estate" is overkill.  :smiley:

I think the Golf is going to be my swansong to hot hatches. At the top of my list to replace the golf, are 2 BMW's- cos i believe no one does it better than them; they are the current M5 or 335d/i saloon. The E55 AMG is also a strong contender.

yep, that is my last Golf, as well. At least that is the plan. Unless there is some angry looking 4x4 that I can take to 400hp.  :smiley:

What do you need M5 for?  :lipsrsealed: It's huge gas gazzler.
