Almost £30k for a golf???
« on: 22 February 2010, 21:43 »
Hi all
just interested in what other cars u guys looked at before parting with upward of £26k for a mk6 GTi?

Reason I ask is I'm wanting to change the mk5 gti and have been looking a cayman s  but realised that a well spec'd gti is >£30k which seems like a lit of money for a golf.

Exactly, £30k for just a golf is mega expensive. After all, its just a Golf, it really is a shopping car and the GTD is quicker. If It were me, I wouldnt buy it over again.

Go for a Mercedes Benz C Class 250 CDI Sport Auto or Manual or a 350 CDI Sport Auto.
(BMW 3 Series saloons in my opinion are common and ugly).
I did not buy the Mercedes due to parking space problems.

You are asking golf gti owners on a golf gti enthusiast forum if they think their shiney new cars are worth it? I think your sarcasm detector may need recalibrating.

Daft question really :wink:

We have all spent or are going to spend a lot of money on this new Golf but it is worth it, the car is the most luxurious and quiet version yet. 

You get what you pays for and with the mk6 you get class in my opinion there aint much better out there.

not really. I've paid £30k for a lotus in the past knowing that there were lots of other cars out there. Was interested to l know what other cars if any you considered before buying the mk6 . £30k is decent car territory and whereas I was blinded by the lotus I wasn't totally blind to the fact that other cars existed.
Genuine question and thought being a car forum cars I general would be of interest.
