So here I am, pushing 50 and, having put up with revolting people carriers for the kids for the last ten years or so, decided it was time I got my own decent car again.
I used to have a Mk 3 GTI, which I absolutely loved, and decided it was time for a new one. However... I can't be dealing with the red stripe at the front so decided to get the next best thing, the GT. Fully loaded, obviously. The performance figures suggest that the GT is faster/more powerful than my old GTI, so I felt pretty comfortable ordering it. Which I did, about a month ago (and love it).
Now here's the thing - I notice on the boards that all the talk seems to be about the GTI, so I was wondering what you (presumed) enthusiasts feel about the GT. Have I made a mistake? Is the GT naff?
The other question I have is regarding speed. I'm currently on 9 points and would have got a further three had I not been 'offered' a speed course instead. How the hell can you GTI owners actually drive the car to anywhere near its potential with so many bloody speed cameras everywhere?
Many thanks
Adam
