New VW Golf MK5 GTi (200) owner Looking forward to getting all your knowlage!

Hey everyone,

Had my MK5 on order now for 3 months I ordered it end of January, should be arriving in 4 weeks and I can't wait!.

I walked in looking scruffy (too long jeans all torn at the bottoms) t-shirt messy hair looking like I'd been out getting drunk all night. (possibly had) and asked for a test drive but there where no free slots so i booked one for the following weekend.

I finished work early 1 day that week and turned up in a suit and asked for a test drive... strange they fitted me into a 15 minute slot, that was enough for me to come back and say I will have one... I think I stunned the sales man as I'm 22 but I I don't think he thought I would buy one or afford it...

I have it fully loaded except sat nav and xenon lights (i cant justify 800 quid for them) and I have a nicer sat nav system in my wardrobe waiting for the Golf... any way really can't wait I had the car for 3 hours today and I kind of wish I hadn't cause as soon as I got into my mini (BMW cooper) I thought OH bugger this is slow....

I must say I am really pleased with how VW have made the car it feels so much better quality than the 3 series and the z4I tried from BMW and drove much better. I look forward to talking to some of you VW know it alls and tech heads to get the most out of this beast.

New shape like marmite? either love it or hate it... I love it.

Welcome to the forum mate, i think the mk5 looks great, what colour have you ordered (i'd have to order a red one)

Welcome, what's the colour, I'd have to go for black I think, and did you go for the larger 18" alloys?

[alexjhill]

hey guys thank you for the big welcome! i went for the met d'md black i think it looks SO nice in that colour ....20 days and counting i can't wait  :grin:gotta get this crappy BMW mini cooper off my drive way! hahaha oh well I'll trade it in if i cant shift it!
i must admit even now if i look at the pics of the MK5 i think hmm should i really get that? but to be honest in person i think the car looks much much better and its definitely grown on me

have no lost respect for you old skool dudes in your Mk1S - Mk3S (cant say NE thing about Mk 4S I'm told they where a sorry excuse for a GTi badge i may be wrong and get in trouble for saying that
