Car before your mk5 GTI

[chrissyr32]

nice machine Jonathan,

I had an E46 05 plate M3 before my current mk5 R32.What a tool it was,put it this way it made a better driver out of me thats for sure,she had to go though for the sake of my 2 kids!!

I also had an E46 330i sport before the Golf, loved the way it looked, great interior but dynamically not as good as the Gti. Other cars I've had are:

Nova 1.2 - my first car and loved it !

Clio 1.2 (original type) - even better!

Polo 1.4 - can I have the Clio back?

Golf mk4 1.6 - as above

Alfa 147 selespeed - nice styling, great interior, dissapointing to drive. Quick steering + soggy suspension = crap!

BMW330i sport - getting there but handling a slight let down.

Golf Gti mk5 DSG- Best car yet for handling and performance, love the DSG. A few rattles though and interior average.

Ok here's my list i must be getting old looking at the first few

peugeot 504 2.0 petrol what a tank!

ford cortina 2.0 mk4 rusted away

ford cortina 2.0 mk5 good fun in the wet

ford sierra 1.6 lx boring

vauxhall nova 1.5 diesel 64mpg short of money

peugeot 306d turbo nice car felt quick at the time

peugeot 106gti a bit tinny but went well

renault clio 172 my first new car

renault clio 182 with cup supension possibly the best handling car i've owned,renault can teach vw a thing or two about steering feel

nissan 350z very nice but very unpractical

vw golf gti ed 30 only 1200miles so far so good ,apart from steering!

Yeh miss it so much, had the MK2 at same time as the S2000 last summer,
it just wasnt getting used.



Sometimes the S2000 wasnt the only reason 

Holy Sh** that Lambo is amazing, one of the nicest Gallardo's I have seen to date, so good in white!!

Before my Mk5 I had an R but not of the Golf variety....

Prior to this was another Leon Cupra (before the R was released), before that an early Mk4 GTI 1.8T - I knew the GTI would come round again

I've had a shady past of Vw Audi Bmw and also various Jap Scrap!! lol
Here's my previous 2 cars (still have the s3)
Audi S3 2001 250 bhp



Bmw 530d M-Sport




Two absolute cracking cars with full spec leather, sat nav, etc etc.... Not anywhere close to the Gti though

[zerolight]

06 Audi A4 1.9TDi SLine (still have it till 1st March)

before that

04 Subaru Impreza WRX (which was fabulous)


ps. I've only driven a Golf S as a hire car - and sat inside a sold, used, GTI and yesterday an ED30. Hopefully the GTI will live up to the hype. If not, well as a practical, cheap to run, family car - it's gotta be more fun than the A4.
