Hi all!
I sold mine GTI DSG 2 days ago couse he was more at workshop as on the street thesedays... Now am struddling what to buy. I still like GTI a lot! Performance, driving, practicality...
My thoughts are S3, GTI mk6, Focus RS, BMW 1 coupe or some A3 170HP diesel...
What did u bought or u thinking to after GTI?
cheers

Not much would come close to a GTI for all round ability.But here's my tuppenceworth.
Personally,I wouldn't have a Focus RS.A mate of mine had one in that snot green colour and he loved it until I gave him a shot in my Edition30.He thought that it was far more refined and a far better car to drive than the Reesty.
An S3 would be heavier than the Golf due to it's Quattro system,but it's got the extra power to compensate,so I reckon that it'll be as quick as a mapped ED30.
For refinement and handling,then the BMW is the car to have...except in the winter,unless fishtailing is your bag!
It might be worth having a look at the fast Renaults, they seem to be more track orientated but I'll bet they would make you grin like a sailor in a whorehouse.

Scirroco R for me , but not until they become more affordable!
-
I don't understand why people think BMWs are poor in winter (snow). If you put the correct tyres on it's just as good as any other car.
-
M3 or RS3 for me but wont be for a while 4-5 yrs I reckon but by then wont be able to afford petrol.
maybe the cars we own car will be the high point for us all? scary thought... :sick:

The fact that rear wheel drive cars are generally worse in the snow has something to do with it! :jumping:
-
Think i'm going for an M3 myself.. My mk5 is in the classifieds at the moment to fund it!
-
Some sales bloke told me (so it must be true :chicken:) that many bmw's in Germany get fitted with a 4x4 option.....
I've no idea if this is true or not, but you'd think if it was true then they'd be available here too.
Anyone got the right info?

I have 320D at home as well... These winter with new tyres there werent any problems at all to drive arr in snow... Yes it's not like GTI but u can drive. There 4x4 is one of the best at the moment even bether than Audi's as I read and heard. Didnt had chance to compare...
Megan RS looking nice choise and is cheaper than GTI for few K as well. Cupra as well... just interior from both these cars are ugly for me...
Am more and more arround A3 170hp diesel... Little less HP but much less fuell consuptions. Just price for new one is crazy if u add some extras. Insurance cost as well here is 30% cheaper or more for these one...
Cheers

Sadly other things to spend money on.
But if Andy at DTUK in Tanfield takes me out in his i may change my mind. :grin:

He doesn't like being called Andy, so keep that in mind when you ask him! :wink:

Hehe, I'll have to remember that one!

GTI MK6 - Looks great but I dont like the way it drives as much as the MK5. Doesnt sound as nice either imo.
S3 - Absolutely love driving S3's. Suppose it depends what you like from a car but for me just the way you can set off in it is a winner.
Focus RS - Not driven the RS but the ST did make a nice noise but the cabin isnt anything to scream about. Not a fan of the styling tbh.
BMW 1 Series Coupe - Great looking but for me they just seem to be a little boring inside.
A3 170TDI - Im still a fan off the 170 engine as long as its not the new common rail engine, it just didnt seem to drive like a 170hp car :confused:
So if fuel is an issue then I would say the A3, if not then the S3. Just go test drive and im sure you will make your own mind up.

TTRS

quite a lot of ex ed30 owners on the megane sport forum have gone for the RS250 inc me :driver:
-
Agree with Gaz. in that price bracket it is the S3 all the way!! :drinking:
-
i test drove a new Meganne RS and have to say what a fantastic car. So much better inside and out for build quality than previous renaults, and the engine and chassis are lightyears ahead of the GTI IMO

This :evilgrin:
