Almost a year on....
« on: 11 May 2010, 13:29 »
Everyone still enjoying their GTI's ?

I'll be a year in Sept/Oct and I still love the car, it has its own little noises that I'm familiar with that will be fixed soon, but all in all I love the car and it looks stunning when all washed and polished.

Oh Yes  :smiley:

8 months in and 7000 miles it is turning into a flying machine.

Engine note has changed, more responsive and more economical.

As a second family car it is ideal. Almost the perfect car for very occasion. School run, Business meetings, trips to dump, fun down the lanes and motorway blasts.

Almost,,,,,,,,,, because I need more power and more traction !

Same here year on September the 1st, just over 6000 miles now few minor rattles but can deal with them for the 2 miles journey to work. Great MPG at 38 considering the short journeys I do. Also cained it last night from Milton keynes to Cheltenham in 1 hour 20 minutes and 49mpg joy. Good bye that debadged skoda vrs who tried his luck fighting me off

Oh god yes :smiley:

One year on 29th July and the best car I've ever had.  It never fails to lift my spirits as soon as I get behind the wheel, this car just gives me a real buzz, and that exhaust note weeeelllll a real head turner :grin:

Can't wait til I get my LEDs my car will be just perfect then.

Yep, still loving mine, too. If only it were RWD, I reckon it would be the perfect car (for everyday/all-round use).

Makes me smile everyday. :smiley:

I honestly thought this was my perfect car.

That was until it got Bluefinned.  Now I know it is.

cause i know him he did it for 50 quid, but i think he would usually charge 100.  and cause the garage f7cked up my supaguard (twice!) it was worth the money cause now it looks how it should have done when i first bought it (bar some stone chippage on the bonnet!)
