Title: How does your GTi make you feel?
Post by: Itguy on October 11, 2013, 04:30:35 pm: Simple question, complex answers I expect!

I just know that there are very few cars I've owned that have given me the same feeling as the GTi does.

It seems to just have a perfect combination of things for me.

Every time I get in it I just get a sumg, comfy, "bad boy" feel.

Maybe it's the chunky wheel, the leather seats, the sharp turn-in, the DSG or the fact that in normal driving it has plenty in reverse.

It's the first metallic black car we've owned with a black interior so that might be helping too.

I just know it really pumps me up and makes me smile whenever I get in it and start moving.

:love:

Btw metallic black is the best colour as well! :happy2:

But I still enjoy every time I drive it so that's what counts!

Post by: skard on October 12, 2013, 10:24:45 am: I love the mk5's, and getting happy with how my ED30 is now.
Constantly toying with the idea of selling for the reasons I want a bigger house and have a baby coming, but having got in it last night at the airport, I forget how well balanced, sharp and pokey it is - I would miss it desperately.

So I'll hang on for a wee bit longer :happy2:

I felt like that after mine got broken into and it didn't feel the same for a while, I think having the skirts, votex, r32 rear and quads put on made me start really enjoying it again

Post by: garrardrj on October 12, 2013, 08:59:51 pm: I haven't had the feeling i get with my ED30 since i had my Stage 2 Mk2 RS2000 , sold that due to buying a house in 1987 .

I keep toying with the idea of selling it though (Why is that?) as i've had it 3 years now , but i know i will regret it . The Golf R is a natural progression but not worth the extra money (£12k plus) , i'm a tight @rse too :innocent:

Keep trying to get my wife to change her Mini Cooper to something a bit different , she won't , apart from getting a newer one !

Post by: Reezie123 on October 20, 2013, 04:48:11 pm: I LOVE IT!..

I used to own a 25th Anniversary 1.8T which had a few mods such a remap, intake and a few other suttle mods, IT WAS A THRILL TO DRIVE IT (at 18), after that I had a E92 BMW, Audi A5 Convertible, and a E46 M3, I sold the M3 in June i think, and baught the MK5 GTI. I Swear, I feel as though im not missing out on the big bhp compared to the M3, I can still zip around London towns busy and small roads very quickly, and drive it like a OAP when I want to too!..

The Mk5 is suprisingly spacious in the back especially with my 3 Door! Petrol isnt to bad either 27/28mpg on vpower around town is great for me, and thats not being shy on the peddle either.. Well my M3 did give me 19mpg around town LOL!

EPIC (AND ITS NOT EVEN MAPPED YET)
