Hello to all, after not owning a motor for four years because of lack of funds with a mortgage, im in the position to get myself a car again, my last car was a honda civic tyype r ep3 fun little car but not very practical.

After alot a searching the vw golf gti is the only motor that stands out for me thats as a bit of everything and looks great

im looking to spend about 12k and like all want as many of the extras i can get and must be a DSG color im open to but do like the red, the ED30 have really caught my eye to

hopefully ill find one soon and be a happy mk5 gti owner  :happy2:

cheers Danny

Welcome danny  :happy2:

You should be able to get a nice spec motor for your budget. There are plenty I things that can be retrofitted easily and some others not (such as xenons) so decide what you want and then find the car  :drinking:

cheers brookesb32,

yea I think the xenons are a must, just trying to find my feet and this forum is a great help to find out a lot about the mk5 gti

really like the look and spec of the grey ED30 in the for sale section, 300 miles away thew and a single train tickets £116, if i can find a cheaper way to get there it looks like it could be the one. only just started to look the past weeks thew so don't want to rush into nothing.

Welcome Danny.  Good luck with the search mate.  I bought myself an edy last week after 8 months of searching and it took me over 150 miles to find the right one.  Well worth it though.  Sounds like you have a nice budget there so you should have be able to find one with a good spec.
