GTI Love....

Some issues and a few complaints as you’d expect but is anyone still loving their GTI?

I am.

Yup, loving mine too :smiley:

Looks great, goes really well, comfortable and most importantly, FUN! Plus I'm enjoying 'fiddling' with it, modifying and keeping it looking good. Michelin tyres have transformed the ride, realised today that I haven't had any tramping since I got rid of the Pirellis. Been mostly issue and complaint free :smiley:

Totally agree, best thing I ever did was to replace the P Zero's with PS4S's...

Loving mine too GolfTi! It strikes the perfect balance for me between fun and sensible. 40mpg on my morning commute (quite a bit less on my way home haha!)

It sounds like I'll be putting Michelins on when the Pzeros come off though.

Just a nod to the Falken Azenis, got good reviews and bought 4 for £500, very pleased :smiley:

GTI love since 2005 through to 2015 when something else came along and stole my fickle heart.  ❤️ 😱  :grin:

Still love the GTI (don’t tell the R!)  :lipsrsealed:  :grin:

I've had mine for nearly 10 years, and whilst I sometimes wonder why I still have it. I know I'd miss it if it was gone.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

My third GTI. Love it and totally faultless after 12k miles from new 3/17.
This car is amongst the last of the 7s in Reflex Silver.
Stunning to look at as the angles and curves are all accentuated in most lights, day and night.
Really surprised how rare a choice this was!
A smile a mile for me.
