ok i know its a mk4 forum but i test drove one and,not impressed with the power it was pants,the drive is quite nice,and the hand brake why all the way over there,just ask the passenger to lift it for you,if no passanger you f****d.

a lot of people have asked my opinion on the mk5 gti, my thoughts are much the same as yours. wouldnt mind having a blast in a modified one though to change my mind..

I think you are in the minority here with your views. Maybe if you described your test drive in better detail it would be easier to understand why you think along those lines as what you describe is hardly constructive. I am not trying to defend it just because I have one by the way, I am changing mine as I have not been 100% happy with it but not anything to do with the power. Also what car do you drive and what are you comparing it too?

You should be writing for Top Gear m8, what an excellent review!!

Need some exercise too if you found it difficult to lift the hand brake, thats one I havent heard before.

What do you drive yourself BTW?

are you sure it was GTI you drove mate, i owned a mk4 for 3 years and the mk 5 is beter in everyway

gtimk5, what are you changing too??

I love the Mark 5 GTI and my only problem with them is the fact that i can't and prob wont ever be able to afford one!!

in my personal opinion in tornado red, 3 door and with the 18inch wheels it looks the business!!

im comparing the mk5 golf gti to the mk4 golf gttdi 130, i found that there is a lot more kick with mk4 gttdi and its only 130bhp.
the hand brake,well its more than less over by the passanger.
for the money i would like to feel the power not look for it.
im not going to say any more other wise i be hated by the mk5 golf owners,i dont wont that,may be the r32 will impress me.

never driven mk4, but did have a celica with 140bph and i tell you one thing the mk5 with 60 bhp is much faster with more power, so i don't understand why a 130bph car feels more powerful than a mk5.

how long did you test the mk5,  did you put your foot to the floor???

maybe i am bias, but i still have a big smile on my face everytime i take her out
