Thinking of selling my gti, ideas on what next?
skard:
Depends on your circumstances. Are you thinking VAG hatchback, or do you need something that may future proof your circumstances a bit?
I went from my ED30 to an S4 B8. I have done a little modding so far and it is at 475hp with a little more to come soon. I am expecting my second young one any day now. It is a very civilised family car for me that can be either a monster or a brilliant cruiser.
I know what you mean about the S3 - great underpinnings but just something uninspiring about it.

One of the things that made me hesitate to buy one, on paper its fabulous but I think its missing a personality, my GTI can be a pain in the arse but because of that I love it more.
Matthewsimone:
For £15,000 your very very nearly on mk6 Golf R money there
That would be my choice for sure :happy2:

IS the the 8P more modern than the GTI5 - tbh, an S1 GTI5 can keep tabs if not be slightly quicker in gear, an S1 Eddy would leave it - an S1 S3 and S1 Eddy the Eddy would have the edge from anything but launch.
The S3 interior is well put together but they look old fash.
The GTI6 is a none starter, that TSI engine, hmm - perhaps things had changed...
Something to replace the GTI5... a true leap... M135i / 7R / S4 3.0 :happy2:

This is why the GTI is such a great car, other than an ED30, anything good enough to warrant a change is waaay more money. Such a bargain for what it is. I think the S3 8P does feel newer than the GTI but not by much tbf.
