Title: Wanted a mk5 gti 5 door manual
Post by: amanda on July 15, 2022, 05:59:52 pm
As posted am looking to buy a Gti mk5 must be 5 door, manual, full gti leather and a SUNROOF ……no mods apart from exhaust maybe a light remap, full history, low mileage and fully loaded with usual extras. I am not fussed on Color’s but my fave are black or red but would consider others if the spec is right…green brown won’t be entertained.


I think I am looking for the holy grail!!!!!  :thinking:

Mine has be scrapped not because of me but I soooooooooooo sooooo miss my little gti nothing new is appealing to me at all 😔

sorry no, im in northern ireland, and mine doesnt have the sunroof or leather seats, chose the tartan on purpose because leather is a terrible material for seats to be made out of, shorts or skirt you stick to them, trousers you slide all over them. but englands full of them have you tried pistonheads you can put in your spec and see what comes up

the sunroof seems to be the killer, loads of 5 door manuals with full leather, but none with sunroofs,

Good luck with the search.

Much prefer mine with AC. Less hassle than a leaky and rusty sunroof.
5rd is red with leather seats and 107k miles..

I was going to say… do MK5 sunroofs leak? On newer cars they can be an asset but as they get older they can become a real pain. I specifically shopped for no sunroof.

@ breeze I had my mk5 for 8 years and never ever once did it leak  :laugh: hence why I want one again had plenty hoses, air con etc leak or fail but never did sunroof let in 1 drop of water 😉 unless I left it open!!!!

The MK5 sunroof is pretty good. Reliable and leak free. The only issue with them is the heavy buffeting noises at certain speeds.

That is one good thing about the 3 door I suppose, your head doesn't get clobbered with wind half as much  :grin:
