Title: New owner of a Mk5
Post by: bgenie007 on August 01, 2025, 10:00:49 pm

Hi All

Just purchased my first ever VW as I am naturally a Ford fan (Still drive my Focus ST) but always wanted a Mk1 or Mk2 Golf GTi but I suppose this is the next best variant as I know the Mk3 & 4 were just not the ones for me although the Mk3s did look nice.
I decided to get as a second car (and for the wife to use and give me back my ST  :driver: ) so we can both be on the road.

Well may be putting a few posts in here as the car is not a perfect runner (is misfiring) and is high miles but was mainly motorway miles (lets say its over 260k  :slap:) and I am capable of most car repairs and maintenance (if I get the time :signLOL:)

That’s impressive miles. Have you got any pics?
