what a load of rubbish, asiff they will sell all 300 in holland before the mk6 comes out.no golf R-gti for me, S3 all the way  :cool:

S3?  :lipsrsealed:

Not sure I would do that! Not a fan of the A3, rather boring even in Sportline styling! Each to their own of course! I'd prob take a 1 series instead!
these are your views and i totally understand where you are coming from as you havnt even got your gti so you will be very excited about taking delivery, and in your eyes the perelli will be the best car ever WAAAAAY better than a S3.

in my eyes its not!i think the s3 is a slight league above the gti and a good car to move onto from a gti


hopefully by march  :cool: :cool: il have an ibis white s3  :drool: :drool:


GTI MK5
Not the only GTI...........but the best! ; )

An output of 230/240 PS is the kind of output I think the Golf should be pushing, especially since the current standard 200PS seems far below that of the competition!

it depends what you are comparing it to  :huh:

Type R no chance even if it is standard, VXR/ ST would still struggle with a std GTI!

Also, id MUCH rather be sitting inside a GTI than the papermashe interiors or the VXR and ST (the ST interior is trully awful imo)

Yeah, its a craking night out at the LCR, first time I went there I got lost, I couldnt get over how big it was. How long ago did you leave?

Sory to go off topic peeps.

I did management for 4 years, left in July this year! Very sad to leave! The LSC is a big night, so many rooms! In May/June this year i saw a 3dr Black GTI with black monza IIs in the student village a number of times. Was this yours!?

When I get my car n pay a visit in a month or two ill let you know! There's a vodka Revs in town now so that should be worth a go on a sat night having dominated the union on the fri!  :evil:
