Whats With People These Days?

yep we'll disagree to disagree on this one!lol

not gonna start a war as to which is best as all gti fans love there motors and there all GTI's in there eyes.

GTI as a "cult" is dead ... cos they cant continue to make tin boxes (no offence to mk1/2 owners) they build better cars, ones that protect the driver/passengers in crashes etc... those old Golfs didnt, mk3 started it, heavier, bulkier, but VW forgot to add more powerful engines (until VR6) and then mk4 VW introduced the Turbo 'era 150/180bhp engines and the V5/6 and recently R32.

Now from "inside news" as I have family in the VW trade... VW are designing a new range of "GTI" type cars... just like BMW use "M series" VW are using "R Series" as being showcased by the R32 at the moment.

So, its being said, that they'll be

Lupo R
Polo R
Golf R

Lupo ive heard might get the turbo 150bhp engine
Polo probably the same or perhaps a V5 engine or summet
and the Golf is gonna keep the 3.2 R32 engine but up it with the mk5 to 250Bhp or summet like Renault did with the Clio V6.

This is still "rumours" but it also has a substantial base as well... so "R Series" will be the fun/cool cars and the GTI badge will be like the "SPORT" badge on a Lupo....

Anywayz, back on topic...

Someone said young'uns cant afford insurance on "performance cars"... I have a mk3 GTI 8v (as U might know) ... not the fastest car, but a helluva lot quicker than any Pug 106 quicksilver and Corsa 1.2 .... I can afford it, bought it when I was 18... why cant they? (Im NOT on ?25,000 per annum either)...

*Note to the single ladies 16-21* Im on ?24,999...come get sum... lol j/k


... Id rather have my rather standard-ish GTI 8v than a heavily modded 1.2 Corsa

Only 19 n on ?24,999,what do u do like?N u hav only got a gti?!What i cud do with that money......!

I remember when there were fast golf n fords(i know us don't like em but they r better than novas n corsas).Then it was about speed,not about whos car looked the bluest with neons or whos big bore exhaust sounded the loudest!Whats gan on?They r all going 4 looks which means nowt when u hav a s-h-i-t-e engine!

the young uns cant afford the insurance, so have to buy small engined cars. then as dinky said max-em my oppo just bought a punto the insurance was 1200 pounds for an 18 year old.
