A Mk5 for 3K you sniffing glue? if there was it would be a f**king raft!!!  Performance and handling wise there an upgrade personally inside they look awful and its not the prettiest golf IMO as other have said 6K to 8K seems to be the average and if was buying 1 it would be the Edition 30

I have seen mega mile mk5's cheap but your still looking at a minimum of £4k for a nice one.
