You could argue that old Golfs have far more character, but they are old. So you can quickly fall out of love with them when the reliability issues start rearing their head. And that sums up many cars that have so called character: what price does that character have and is that why you ended up in a Golf to start with? ie. You've got fed up with moody characterful cars so went for a safer option. Safe options are normally a bit dull.

....I wouldn't describe the standard oem Mk5 GTI/Ed30 as dull but modifying them certainly makes them great fun and long term.

A bit of a contradiction there RR! Its not dull but modifying makes them great fun, so before they are modded they are not great fun?

....No contradiction intended: I'm saying that even before modifying, the standard GTI is great fun and never dull. Other oem Golfs (excepting the .:R) not so exciting though.. IMO.
[Liking your new S3 sig.. Very smart]

in standard form Id say mu cupra is dull to drive. Didnt think so when I first got it seeing as I was coming from a 1.4, but if I had to go back to stock now Id get rid pronto!

Sorry but I do find the standard car a bit dull. No mid-range punch as standard and throttle response not the best. It's a very good car as standard but didn't set my heart racing. Re-mapped is another story.
