Yeah thats what i thought. the only thing is the insurance difference.. its about £1200 for the gti, or £2500 for the 172. i could buy the 106 just now, but would have to wait for the 172. and since i have sold my RT, i need a car!! lol
just got back from a test drive in a 106 gti, and i really liked it. it is on quite high miles, but the price is obviously lower. though i do think they are slightly over rated, everyone makes out how good they are handling, speed wise. maybe i was expecting too much?
