Car should have been a rear wheel drive  :sad:
Couldnt agree more... wtf were VW on when they decided to make the GTI front WD?

But yes.. although I'm a considerate driver, on the odd occassion I feel like tear-arsing up the 3rd lane people do seem to get outta the way when they see the black beast in their rear view :laugh: and no I don't tailgate unlike those BMW wankers :evil:

Oh.. and I work in a school and all the kids love talking about it :smug: :smug:

But if it were RWD it would look like a 1 series  :sick:

The 'kickdown' that the dsg gearbox has.....  trundling along in 6th, wanting to overtake.  Foot to the floor, next thing you are in 3rd....

Can't help but smile  :smiley:

Me too... Some of the kids think I've got a 'gangsta' car, and I heard one lad say 'he thinks he's a bad boy driving his Golf' All good fun.

As for my favourite bit of the car, I'm pretty impressed with the black roof lining (and everything else!?)

i love everything... especially the growl of the engine... the whistle of the turbo kicking in... the way i can go round a corner in 4th and the looks of the beast

oh and i just love closing the windows and sun roof from outside the car!
and the boot handle and the lights staying on when i get out

there's nothing i'd change exept maybe the amount of fuel she eats!

The subtle but head-turning looks, cracking interior quality, the fact that I keep finding new little touches - like the rear windscreen wiper wiping when you put it in reverse when its raining (bit sad I know), oh and the fact in will keep up with my mates Evo FQ320!  :smug:

Something else I didn't know! I assume you do that through the highline? Must go and have a play!

GTI is traditionally FWD.

I like how the car makes the money produce the whistle when money leaves my bank account. Almost as good as the induction sound.  :wink:

Just because its traditionally FW doesn't meant they had to make the MKV FWD. People wouldd't have gone "Oh my god, you made the GTi RWD, how dare you!"
