My boss has just bought an A5 and although it's a nice looking car it's no GTI so lacks any fun factor. It's just a car. 330D for me every time.

I'm of the "a real GTI should have 3 doors" camp as it fits with the ethos. BUT the mk5 and 6 just look wrong in 3 door so it's been a series of 5 door GTIs for me but going back to 3 on the mk7.
‘23 8R, ‘20 8CS, ‘19 135iX, ‘19 TCR, ‘17 Ed40, ‘17 GTD, ‘15 7R, ‘13 GTI PP, ‘11 GTI, ‘09 GTI, ‘98 Ibiza Cupra, ‘05 GTI, ‘06 Polo GTI, ‘04 GT TDI, ‘05 Fabia vRS, ‘02 GTI T, ‘03 Ibiza TDI 130, ‘01 Leon 180, ‘89 mk2 16v, ‘99 Ibiza TDI, ‘96 VR6, ‘98 Ibiza TDI, ‘92 VR6, ‘88 mk2 8v, ‘92 Polo G40, ‘91 mk2 8v, ‘89 mk2 8v, 205 GTI 1.9, ‘83 mk1 GTI, ‘80 Scirocco GTI, plus some others I’ve forgotten

I can understand the 3-5 door debate when talking about Mk2's, but I think that larger cars suit 5 doors much better. Besides, 5 doors generally mean kids, which means your plumbing works, which subconsciously the ladies find quite attractive.  :wink:

Haha!   Must be very subconscious.    As a lady I can honestly say I've never looked at a bloke driving a 5 door and thought 'ooh, he must be fertile'.........but keep thinking that  :wink:

It's the whole subconscious non-threatening thing as opposed to the thrusting look at me stance. A bit like a lad I was at school with who always had the girls swarming round him. We couldn't work out what they all saw in him. Everything fell into place years later when we heard he'd got married...to a bloke called Brian.

Actually it's nothing like that, but you get the idea, or maybe you don't. Oh what the hell do I know. No man will ever understand the workings of a woman, unless he's like the lad from our school.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Dubber, I do get the idea.    Your post made me giggle too  :laugh:   

Yes, we women can be unfathomable  :laugh:  At times this forum gives a bit of insight into the male psyche and all in all you seem a pretty sound bunch - restores my faith in men   :smiley:
