Mk5 GTI owners that bought from new, what is your next car to be?

A deisel BMW 3 series estate maybe but not new as they are too expensive.  BMW have the best deisel engines around IMO.

BMW have some of the best petrol engines around too! They make superb engines and have done so for some time.

mine is gonna be 3 years old in Mar 2009.

So been thinking...do some tinkering or change cars?

Have looked at used RS6's, M3's and the Scirocco.

Running costs of first 2 scare me. And Scirocco doesn't quite cut it for me.

do fancy something RWD tho as done the FWD / 4WD thing now.

....There was a superb RS6 Avant for sale via APS at Castle Combe this summer. I think it was an 03 plate, 75k miles, but religiously maintained and with literally £40k spent on full Sportec mods. Extremely quick and all for £30k.

There are some excellent value M3's around but you'd have to spend a lot on modifying a Scirocco to make it at all exciting imo.

Whether you tinker or renew, cars will always cost you money but it's the joy of driving them which is more important imo.

I also have a 2006 3 Series Estate 320d auto, nice to drive but the run flats are s**t. AMD have just remapped a diesel 3 series with great results .....well it would be rude not to wouldnt it.

Hello mr crapster. Friendly south african saying hello. If the nissan gtr comes to sa my dad wont be replacing the gti but will be ordering one. The gti is a work of art. If my family wanted something faster we would get it. The new merc sl65 amg is being considered since we had a play with one in the golfie .

Oh and mr nosh bar. Get off your high horse of "new owners only". Your car is bog standard and you have only ever posted two pics of it. So you are hardly one to talk sweetness.

[Manu_R32]

This is abit difficult to answer...finish uni in 3 years and hope to keep the R32 till then....if i had to choose a new car like within the next few months would deffinatley be an M3, C63AMG or possibly wait for the new RS4...love the cars in that league...unless my taste changes we'd need to wait till then!
And Micsta! Nicely done

Me thinks you and MR nosher need a weekend away together i sense a slight difference of opinion's 

Ps you are adding fuel to his fire i bet every time he reads one of your posts he gets a slight twitch in his groin 

[08micsta]

In that case im gonna continue tc. Its not like im going to get banned. Besides. I sense the twitch i give him is the only pleasure he has in his life. We wouldnt want to take that away from him now would we? we love you too much for that mr noshi.
