Title: Can you get a 3 Door MK5 TDI?
Post by: Moz on May 08, 2012, 04:06:27 pm: With any kind of upgrade spec?

I love my GTI, but boy the petrol is killing me, having gone from a Derv for 6 years. I don't do much miles, but the miles I do, I'm filling up £20/£30 a week!

I've bought loads of bits for a Xenon HID OEM upgrade to the GTI. But in the back of my mind, I'm wondering if I should save it for a 3dr TDI ?

Any thoughts guys?

To make you feel a bit better I do around two fill ups a week... @£80 a go :(

Cuts me deep. Making me think twice about my GTI now. Shocking running costs!

Post by: skard on May 08, 2012, 08:05:04 pm: I have a 3dr TDI, may be up for sale later in the year as I fancy a nippy petrol for kicking about in, but in all honesty I think it'll be going to my mrs as I've spent too much time and money on it to sell it in today's market.
