Looks fantastic fella, but are you sure your old enough to drive  :wink:

It'll look even better once they've removed the travel blocks from the suspension!  I'm sure they look fitted in the pics?

looks too simular to a Normal GTI to me being all the same colour, except the wheels, but hope you enjoy your motor and dont miss the r32 too much and dont regret selling it for the edition 30

Yep - Happy cleaning!

Funny i see from the Top Gear mag that the ED 30 gets marked down due to the painted body kit / wheels / price - Sometimes you just wish that these mags would just report on merit rather than the aformentioned!

Magazines are a good starting point but reading some of their reviews..... very odd. It's all down to individual taste, it's good to read a great review though and I guess it's all most have us have got until our cars arrive!

Car looks Great though and in my head I'm imagining it with 5 doors, hopfully it will look as good!

I think the Golf is one of a very few cars that does look good in 5 doors. For me (having two children) I wouldn't even consider the 3 door after having a test drive in one, that seat is awful to move forward and even though I considered the 3 door (you save £500 at the end of the day) I just couldn't have lived with it. If it had been as easy as on my MK3 then I would have bought a 3 door.

For me the 5 door is great and certainly no comparison to the s-max I almost bought!

I agree,

I had an A3 mk2 2.0TDI DSG 3dr and it was nigh on impossible to get my ageing parents and in-laws in the car ..... let alone back out again....and don't get me started on trying to get the sisters kiddies chair in the back :shocked:

My Mum and Dad had the same car, it was fantastic and my Dad loved it! They only kept it 3 months though (didn't lose any money mind you) because of the hard ride and the practicallity.

Great Diesel Engine though with 140bhp, I considered one against the E30 but we have one Audi Diesel in the household already and I still think I'm too young to buy another!

I have an old 1970 VW Camper if I want to be sensible(ish) The GTI is going to be great!
Is it here yet.....?
