how do you think the world views us GTI drivers?!

[matchboy]

are we considered 'c0cks' like audi drivers (my favourite being the a3 2.0 drivers - complete (unts in a sh1t car)?

are we considered morons like micra drivers (i hate every single one)?

are we considered oxygen thieves like bmw 320d drivers (get out of my way you bell end with a slow car)?!

my brother in law has always said that GTI drivers are aggresive and that driving one 'unleashes a beast within'.  its a fair point

I think Clarkson once described the MkV GTi as the car to buy if you have a medical need to get to 60 in 7 seconds.

I agree though, I do drive very aggresively, although at the same time conisder msyelf as quite a courteous driver, always happy to let people out of junctions etc. But I don't suffer fools gladly on the road (even though I am probably one myself!)

Hmmmm if the GTI is meant to look discreet, I am not sure the outside would notice GTI owners over any other Golf owners unless you the owner drives the GTI like a c0ck on heat!

I have a valid question:

Do you care?
I don't. I couldn't give a toss how other people view the car I drive...because I bought it for me, not to impress others.

nope, i couldn't give two fooks.  but i thought it might make a semi interesting thread, and a welcome aside from listening to you describe the gti as a shopping car

Do you care?

Yes, I care that most people see a 5-dr silver Golf first and a GTi second. I wanted a more discreet hot hatch that would do everything.

But that's just me - ETTO

Controversial!
A Golf first? Not a GTI first?
People have been hung for less...
