I am new and hello
« on: 12 September 2006, 14:55 »
Hi there everyone, just joined the site.

I'm 21 and live in Germany, but I'm English (don't ask).

Thinking of buying a Golf GTi as I absolutely loved it when I drove it, but I also drove the Astra VXR, which I'm still tempted by.

Everyone's opinions please?

Cheers

Jim

Please, there is no comparison, EVERY trade mag rates the GTI a mile ahead of the VXR, in a couple of years the astra will be worth about 50p, where as the GTI is one of the slowest depreciating cars on the market, ok so the astra is more powerfull, but in real world terms the GTI is faster and is cheaper to run, plus at the end of the day................................................................it's a vauxhall astra!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I was looking for a perfomance hatch, I likked at VXR, Focus ST and at the time the golf was "one to check out but i think im gonna have a focus"

Long story short, I pick up my nearly new golf on Sunday. (Relfex,5dr,dsg,winter,18s)

I just didnt like the VXR.

The focus was good and I like fords (Have been in fords for 9 years now)

But there was just something about the golf... The quality, the image...the way it fits in everywhere. I mean, take the Mrs to a posh resaurant in the VXR and peolple will expect you to order kebab meat and chips!!! (Joke)
