Hi all I have recently become the owner of a MK5 GTi have traded my 05 SLK350 for it. I have to say that I cannot understand why I did not buy one years ago, I absolutely love it. The only criticism all though a minor one it has 18" monzas which I think give it a little hard ride. I am having a new cam-belt kit fitted by VW Exeter next Tuesday just for peace of mind. DSG box is amazing as well. Both the wife and I are in our 60's but still like a bit of fun and this car supplies that by the bucket load.
