I was wondering since the GTI can be construed as a sports car,
Views please?

As long as I have a hole in my ass, the GTI will not be a Sportscar.  :tongue:

It's a FWD hatchback...not a Sportscar. But we've been down that road already...so... :lipsrsealed:

Imo too many after market (cosmetic) mods does not suit the styling and image of the Gti...I think that the 6 has a nice grown up feel to it but yet still remains sporty! Not a bad thing I'd say....

I Think the world views us GTI drivers as overpaid cocks! I must admit when i was driving my Audi A3 and a nice brand new GTI appears in my rear view mirror and no matter how hard i pushed i could not get away! I thought the same!  :grin: now the shoe is on the other foot! "Get back in the peasant lane where you belong!!"  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Bloke came past me in an blue RS6 saloon - now he's overpaid... £23,000 is quite middle-of-the-road these days for a new car.

How so?
You can pick up an RS6 for significantly less than the price of a new GTI....so how does that make him overpaid? (Unless it was a new one...but still doesn't make him overpaid!)

It was a shiny new 59 plate job with the ur-quattro style wide arches, 580bhp V10 and a list price of £74,555. I'm sure he worked hard for it though!

My dear S3, I was not asking views on whether the GTI is a sports car or not. I was asking for views whether racing stripes would look good on the GTI or not. So please dont put words in my mouth. Thanks
