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!"

You are right. THey did not even have to make GTI.

I love the fact that as I'm dyslexic, the badge on my GTI reads GIT.  :grin:

Good topic,

I love being in my GTI, I love:

The sound of the engine and the subtle induction noise when ur foot to the floor.
The blowback when u ease off the gas.
The eagerness of the car
Its agility
The steering wheel
GTI embossed seats
GTI badge on the car
The gadgets it comes with standard!
The instrument cluster (and blue lighting!!)
and above all my Xenon lights! - First car with them, I'll never go back!!

Things I dont love:
That you need to HOLD the lock button to wind the windows up... (takes forever!)
The vibrations in the door trims when the bass is cranked up (annoying!!)
The fact I didnt opt for a sunroof!!!
The ONE tail light!! (you can hardly see when ur reversing at night!!) and I've had at least 5 different people come up to me and say "your right reverse light is out" grr!

But at the end of the day, theres no such thing as a perfect woman and I love her to death!!  :laugh: :tongue:

I think by "auto up" he means that you just push the window button up for a while, whilst in the car, and they close automatically.

Mine don't close when leaving the car unless I press the keyfob button as you described.
