New member... getting my mk6 Golf GTI on Monday!

[rst123]

Hi all,
Put a deposit down on a mk6 GTI yesterday and going to pick her up on Monday.
I currently have an Audi TT Mk2 as a fun car and a Peugeot 207 for work and practicality.
I've been looking for something to replace my boring 207 with for a while, it needed to be fun to drive and be practical.
So I test drove a MINI Cooper S, Clubman S and the Golf and overall the Golf ticks all the boxes for me. While the MINIs were good fun, the Golf is something I can live with everyday and have no problems putting bikes in the back 


My car history:

Good runaround but extremely dull to drive!




Excellent little car regretted selling it that's why I'm back to a TT lol


Good car, nice and powerful but due to the size I couldn't feel it as much as the TT... also steering was too light.


Got a bargain RX8 for a bit of fun on the side:


Got another TT


Decided to get an economical 207 aswell as the TT but got rid of the RX-8


Now I'll part ex the peugeot for the GTI and keep the TT for when I need more power or it's sunny!

it's the same as this one but 11 reg:

Yeah probably does drive like new still. My mums mk5 tdi has 120k on the clock and it still feels solid. Good build quality i guess !

Yeah ive got the GTI cloth seats, i prefer them to leather as i feel it makes it look a bit more special inside.

Thanks for the offer Barry  .

The GTI is better in every department except for those gorgeous lines of the TT.
