And all the threads about MK5 GTI's I keep seeing of "Looking at these" or "Tempted by" just buy one. For the price you can get them now, there isn't a better all-rounder.

Whats the going rate for a good mk5 gti's now day's? Also is it worth more stretching to an ed30?

Nice pics though, not a clue what LOLf is mind.

Its like a Golf but funnier.

You can stretch to an Ed30 if you see fit. I didn't bother myself, as this has all the toys I want/need. I wouldn't pay under £5k for one, low miles and decent history is a must. The 18's tend to be a bit w**k, these wear better (and look better imo).

Ah see what you did there lol! I do like the all the pro's about the mk5 gti, i have a 9n3 gti at the moment and i can imagine the golf will tick nearly all the boxes.

I just keep thinking that i'll get bored of it like i have the polo as it's just bland to me it doesn't have the 'fun-ness' of my old clio RS's or EK9 for that matter but better in every other way like quality, reliability, and subtlety it's much better. For the rare opportunities when i get to have a good hoon i can't help but want another RS clio or go for a DC5 or similar.

I've had a few cars as you know, one of them being an MX5. As far as going for a blast, the Golf is a completely different kind of fun, but I wouldn't say it was much less fun. Having a turbo makes it very easy to drive fast. There's enough give in the chassis that you can swing it around on three wheels, or let the back end step out to guide you around tight bends. At first it felt quite big (Then again, I had stepped out of an MX5 into it) but once I got used to the way to drive it, I havent looked back.

I do often look at other cars, but once you've owned it you cant really justify getting rid. It doesnt just tick all the boxes, it ticks them well. Theres no situation it feels uncomfortable.

I think I'll own a Mk5 GTi one day, I went out in my mates 360bhp ED30 yesterday, quite the animal!

[RDH]

I really like that.

Although no Xenons makes me cry.

 

[Jason_E]

No mines standard. Forever eyeing up KW V1's though.

 

[chris-182]

thought about BCs? they are supposed to be awesome and will be less expensive! I'm just going for some sport lines I think, try to keep some comfort lol

Stretch. Superior bumpers, superior side skirts, superior alloys, superior seats and superior turbo.

If you don't stretch don't get the 18's ffs.

 

[RDH]

I actually wouldn't stretch. It just isn't worth the premium over a standard GTi.

ed30 without a doubt, you can do so much more with the engine for peanuts and they hold their money better.
