Will eventually swap the GTI for an R! Absolutely love the car and spec I have but it just can't get the power down in first or second..

For now I'm swapping the front crappy Bridgestones for Michelin Pilot Super Sports! :)

Swapped from a GTI to an R, again down to traction on the GTI, and I had a massive itch that needed scratching.

Ps: the R is freaking awesome!!!

GTD going in for an R within a week. Traction is pretty much the reason to change - was happy enough with a DTUK'd GTD from a performance point of view.

Plan is to keep the GTi for another year then I think it's going to be a 911. R's just not doing it for me.

Plan is to keep the Golf GTI until its 2 years old (December 2015) then hopefully be in a position to order the Golf R420 or second choice is Golf GTI Edition 40. It must be in 5 doors guise whatever I get next.
Lets hope I have the funds  :cry:

Went from a GTI to an R, always wanted an R (or R32 back in the day) so I thought f7ck it I'm going to have one! 

I didn't have any real issues with traction in the GTI as it was exceptional with the PP, but I was only getting 30 odd mpg so I thought might as well get 26 mpg in an R and have an extra 70 bhp, AWD and the extra speed.

Will have a massive decision to make once the R400 comes out; if I can afford it I'll get one, but I fear if its along the same price as an RS3 (specced £48,000) that may be out of my price range.

As an aside, I prefer the wheels (19") and styling of the GTI over the R, but the extra power and pace more than compensates for that  :smiley:

I have swapped my Carbon Grey GTI PP for a Lapiz Blue R.
Loved the the GTI and thought I was mad getting rid of it after 11 months but like others have said. I had an itch that needed scratching so I thought sod it !! You only live once. I am 50 this year and I thought I would treat myself  :wink:

I've had my GTI just over a month and every time I see a m135i I just lust one! I'm 21 so the GTI was literally the top of the insurance scope for me. Pre facelift of the now the discounts were big enough to drop it just to price range but insurance was over a £1000 so wasn't allowed to do it. Maybe next time ayy
