The GTI is a shopping car, it's also a performance car, it's also a car with a very good image  :cool:, it's also a good family car which you can put a roofrack on and a fridge in the back if you want to. That's why we love them, they can do everything.

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  :smiley:  

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



Ok, rephrase. I meant others perception, not my interpretation.

Personally I like the restrained styling (relative to other hot hatches) of VW.

ETTO!  :grin:

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?
