Had mine nearly 5 weeks, I have said it before, this is the only car I have owned, I have had a lot, that I would have another....probably the ED30 :grin:

Kidfrost you wont be disappointed, I have had a 325i Sport and the GTi is more practical, better handling, faster, more economical and just as well built...in my opinion.

Iconic and exceptional - The Mk5 GTI is an excellent allrounder and is far more practical than many fast saloons and sportscars. 33,000 miles later and I'm still grinning and am convinced that I have an incurable condition called 'GTI-tus'. I could have bought another BMW, which I think are excellent cars, but the Mk5 GTI does everything I need in style and comfort and with performance (mine is heavily modded though). Frankly I don't care two sh!ts what other people think of my car....I'm the one enjoying her!

I'm due to take delivery of mine a couple of weeks.  I bought a golf GTi because a 5 month old little girl and a Boxster S does not mix well.  The Golf is a lot cheaper to own/run so I will save a bucket load of cash over the coming months.  Looking at cars in the £25K range, I couldn't find many cars that combine practicality (5 doors + boot) with performance.  Didn't fancy a Focus ST nor a CTR, I've had scoobys before so fancied something else.  My first car was a black MK2 Golf GTi 8v, so there's probably a hint of "those were the days..." in my decission.

Actually, my secret plan is to buy a Mk2 Tuscan S as well, but the war department doesn't know that yet.  So the Golf gives me practicality and reasonable perfomance whilst the Tuscan becomes my hedge seeking missile.

A post of mine from last year April...

Had to go to Newport Wales from Ipswich on Wednesday and stayed in the Celtic Manor - a top class hotel... they had an EU Heads of State meeting there last summer and are hosting the Ryder Cup there in 2010.. anyway, point is that you get some really rich people going there - not me, my company paid   - with their equally expensive cars... I saw a yellow Lambo there, an Aston Martin DB9, Maserati and was parked next to a Porsche Carrera 4.  What struck me though was when I parked up temporarily at the main entrance and checked in... Upon coming back to the GTI, it was surrounded by 3 smiling doormen looking through the windows at the mileage, looking at the alloys and the front grill and I wondered because these guys see top supercars everyday... that this interest means one thing - the Mk5 Golf GTI is class and despite the price tag, is up there with the best cars in the world. 

The GTI transcends social and cultural differences and is a phenomenon its own right.  Tell that to the next guy who says its just a Golf.  :evil:
