But the mk5 Gti is a great car, from the GTI - Edition 30 - Pirelli.  :evilgrin:

You could throw money at it endlessly but as you well know you won't get it back  :doh:  How many of us have done that....  :thinking:  You just have to decide is it worth it...

As above!!!!

Me well spent way too much on mine but I love her ......am on the point of no return as I will keep her as I know nothing is going to as reliable as she is

For me it comes down to do you still love to drive the car or as above if all was fixed would you still have wandering eyes. The 2 cars you were mentioning are not much newer so you could get all the same standard issues so if were looking to sack it in for something newer then i would be looking at maybe an MK7(not that I am a fan of them)

I was in the same situation as you about 2 years ago where i was thinking about something new potentially on Lease(was looking at an RS3). I ended up selling my Edition 30 and after looking around for a few months just did not feel like anything else would get me the value for money vs performance that the ED30 did and also could not get over paying monthly for something that would not feel like mine and in essence just join the rest of the lease drones  :grin:

In the end my old ED30 came back up for sale and I snapped it back up and everytime I see it on the drive now I fee lucky and it will not be going anywhere apart from the scrapyard when it is finally dead  :happy2:

Hi guys sorry for late response, been ill.
Thanks for the replies. It is a difficult one as I could buy another one and end up having to shell out all over again. In many ways she has had a lot spent but at least I know it's had done. It has just had a anti roll bar fitted today as that was causing the knocking noise. £50 so not a deal breaker.
Apparently it needs an air recirculation flap motor fitted its £220 as the part from vs is £160. I think I am going to get the part number and gave a go at getting a used one off eBay and fitting myself?

Is a Golf GTI mk5 worth buying in 2022? It’s going to be my first car, and I want it to be not expensive and easy to maintain. I don’t need additional comfort or horsepower, but I just need a vehicle to get my ass from one place to another.
Maybe someday I will be able to afford cars like people from https://wealthyliving.com/money/rick-ross-net-worth/ but not today. Today I need to focus on what I can buy now and what I can use for my work. I live in a village, and it’s impossible to live here without a car. I have to walk for hours to get to the local town, which takes too much time from my day.

Buy a Fiesta then if that's all you need a car for.
