The 3 best things about my Golf are.....

[The Doc]

The Seats - they are superb for me, almost tailor made.

The Nav - top notch for ease of use on the nav side, phone kit and music plus having the built in HD is a massive bonus as you don't really need to leave an iPod in the car.

The Engine - sootchuckers don't come any better than the motor in the GTD not in terms of out and out performance but in so much as it's great on fuel, very quiet and very refined in fact the only problem I can see is that this will cause me issues when changing into another car if it doesn't have this motor in it.

Steering Wheel - suppose I don't appreciate it enought cause I am use to it but everyone that comes in my car or drives it comments on how nice it is ( steering wheel lads, keep it clean ) and I suppose they are right! It is sexy! When I drive the girlfriends Mini am like what's this big round plastic thing here!!!

Xenons - Although fitted aftermarket I just love them with the LEDs, totally change how the car looks!

Handling - Well it a GTI after all and that's what they are best it! Such a joy to drive on B roads, takes every corner with ease and ability, except when I am wheel spinning everywhere

Seats - can't believe how comfy and supportive they are. it shouldn't be possible! The bast road car seats I've ever sat in. Love the tartan cloth too - everyone comments on it even non-car people!

Engine - love the torque and ease of use and refinement but has another side to it when you want to push things on a bit. After my 197 which was gutless below 5500rpm the torque of the golf makes driving so much easier - just wish you could hear the turbo a bit more! the clio was damn good fun as you felt you were more involved somehow but in the real world torque makes life much easier!

5 door looks - love the ease of use of a 5 door. getting the baby seat in and out is a doodle (i considered a scirocco and foci RS and it would have been a nightmare!). I also believe the 5 door (with privacy glass) is better looking than the 3 door which should be impossible but IMO they pulled it off with the golf.

The depreciation - every time I use the car it has lost me another months wages.

The colour - it's grey. Next best thing to an invisibility cloak.

The fairy lights - small children stare in wonder whilst their attractive mothers just look disapprovingly at my chav lights.

There are many, but my I think the best bits are;

The seats; I have a bad back and find most car seats uncomfortable on moderate to long journeys - even the seats in some premium brand cars. Not the GTD seats though; the best seats I've had in any car.

The lights; xenons front and LED's rear. The xenons because they're brilliant and the read LED's because they look really good.

The engine; smooth power delivery, quiet and refined and good economy.

3.1 The lights Xenons are the dogs - I just don't know why these aren't standard on all cars these days?

Then they wouldn't stand out asuch and its a luxury add on that car companies will make ££££ on!

Handling absolutely superb, living rural gives the opportunity for some real keen driving everyday put's a huge smile on your face from cheek to cheek. Had the current Audi A3 Sport which I thought was good however the GIT is a far superior car.

Adaptive Xenon's - My wife thought I lost the plot paying the extra for these lights ,she now realizes she was wrong they are such a big part of driving safety at night. Watching the light beam go round a corner when you turn the steering wheel or watching the beam of light shine down climbing a steep hill or rising up going down a steep hill, they light up the road so well compared to standard head lights.

I'm going to cheat hear. On a sunny day nothing beats having the sunroof open and the dynaudio system playing while driving fast down b-roads.

Without doubt the best car I have owned and for sure will change it for the next generation of Golf GTI. The all round package is of practicality and sportiness in one word is 'phenomenal'
