From VXR to GTI
« on: 08 March 2008, 20:34 »
Hi all, just awaiting delivery of a Golf GTI in Diamond black, 18" Monza's, parking sensors and centre armrest.
Really looking forward to it  :smiley:

Currently drive an Astra VXR which I can't say a bad word against. Bought from new and provided me with two years of care free manic driving, but time to change.
Keep you all informed of my views and how it compares when I take delivery. Although you may not really be interested! :embarassed:

Welcome mate.  Two amazing cars, it'll be interesting to see how the compare, I hope you'll indulge me!  I've always wanted a new VXR, but then always wanted a new Golf GTi as well!!!

Well, I thinks that's what most hot hatch drivers think. At the end of the day if money wasn't a problem and the choice was between an Astra, Golf, Megane, Leon, Mini, Civic etc, I think most people would choose the Golf, for the overall package.

I'll let you know if it was the right choice for me.
Cheers
Martin

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I'm currently thinking of replacing my CTR with a GTi, although I've driven a VXR and was very impressed, yes it was a bit of an animal but fun :grin:
