New member looking to get mk5 GTi - now owner!
« on: March 04, 2017, 08:03:49 am »
Hi all, I'm new here.  :drinking:
 Currently looking to buy a mk5 GTi in black, grey or dark blue, in manual with cloth. Being so specific isn't helping my search especially as I currently have a fairly low budget (up to £4K)!

I've had various vw's over the years, but still own this:



Supercharged Corrado VR6 on air.

Cheers, Si.

Thats a nice ride, im just about to put mine up for sale, however i have heated  leather seats, i went for that option as harder wearing than the cloth which tends to not hold up as well on.bolsters..

I always had a soft spot for the Corrado but never jumped in. I bet you are happy to still have yours!

Thanks guys, owned it 10 years this year so it's one of those cars I'll probably never get rid of!

I whole heartedly agree with the wearing of the cloth, I just love the pattern! Ideally I'd have edition 30 seats.

Anyway I now own a black 3 door with heated cloth. Very happy with it so far!
