I really like the wheels on that yellow one!

But Snoopy is right, that metallic red is a phenomenal colour!  :drool:

The Excessive looks wicked, real hints of Touring Car

^^^ I disagree, sir. Leave that type of look for the ST and CTR drivers.
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

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?

I have to be honest guys. I really love that yellow one. I don't know what it is about it but there is something that I think looks so classic and magnificent. I would be really tempted to buy one in that colour. It just stands out so much from other cars. I think yellow sometimes is seriously underrated.

"It is a GTI, only more so. Thanks to a new exhaust system, power from the Golf's 2.0-litre turbo engine is boosted from 207bhp to 211bhp, while torque rises slightly to 211lb ft."

Theres some good bits from all of them, but none on thier own are that great. VW must try harder!

The yellow one is quite sweet, and 'could' be a good basis for an anniversay 35 year model. The black Xenon lamps from the R and tail lights, the new wheels, and what are the skirts from?

The Addidas GTi is terrible, really really terrible. Who or what would buy one of those? The interior seats are so chav its unreal! I really can't beleive they are thinking of making 4000+ of them. I guess it will mean that used GTi prices may drop, as they will have to extra discount to get rid of them!

+1 :sick: Very OTT.
The things I like are: (1) the glossy black roof on the red car, (2) the fabulous metallic red paint and (3) the Edition 30 Manual Gear Shift Knob.
