The car will not be more fun than a 135i. I am 99% positive about that. That being said it will be nicer than a civic si.

wow check out those seats.....guess Ill have nightmares tonight..man thats horror.....

This is addressed to all here how happen to believe rwd is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

How many of you happen to drive on the street with the tail hanging out?

This is not a dig at rwd because I too love to hang the tail out and enjoy the thrill like the next person but I don't happen to drive like that too often. What gets me excited is the speed I can enter and exit a corner and how lively the car feels during this process.

That basically means any car that can do the above regardless of which wheels are doing the driving. Maybe Stateside there is no real quality driver's fwd cars but over here we have a few and I can tell you the VW Golf GTI is one of them.

Those seats have been there since the mkv...... Look at them covered in leather!!!!

I really like this car,, and it would make a beautiful little crusier, with the dsg, and maybe a revo chip.

My wife has the leather and to be perfectly honest with you it looks cheap. It's not very tightly stretched, especially in the rear seats.

The engine is the exact same as the Mk5 GTI edition30 which when chipped with a basic chip yield an extra 60hp and 100Nm. If the same applies to the Mk6 GTI that makes for 267hp and enough torque to fry those front tyres, all for less than £450.

that front end looks like a boxer whose eyes are swelling up from being punched too much

vladinecko · 10-02-2008, 12:46 PM

the interior looks more and more like that of audi's. which is not necessarily a bad thing.

positiveions · 10-05-2008, 04:54 PM

my 'ol '92 GTI 16V 2.0L reincarnated. Yuppy. I just hate those freaking wheels.

I just saw a 2009 Golf in Paris on the street last week. It looks very nice in real life and the interior looked fantastic!
