Time to say goodbye

[titchy]

Been having a few niggles with my GTI lately time to say goodbye localish dealer has a 17 plate ED40 Clubsport on the forecourt, going to take a look early next week. My Mk5 has only done 69700 its been an excellent car since I got it 2010 but time for a change

Let us know how you get on as the CS could well be the high water mark for GTi's given what a minger the mk8 Golf has turned out to be.

Im waiting for the dealer to return my e mail hope to drive it next week

[titchy]

Test drive next Tuesday cant wait

Had a go in a 230bhp mk7.5 gti today dsg nice car digi dash love that graphite grey liked it a lot reasonable p/ex gives me money over to get R Tech on the case Trying Clubsport on Tuesday

@Titchy, what spec is your car engine and suspension wise? It'd be interesting to know what the baseline is for your comparisons and how close it gets, both in terms of actual achievement but possibly more importantly subjective feel.

Im trying the clubsport tomorrow then a 245 performance I will let you know how I get on. Think the clubsport might be a over budget find out soon

Well went to dealer this morning salesman I had a meeting with was out another guy took over useless original guy came back I lost my  rag Clubsport sold last evening. Went nuts. So he offered me a better p/ex on a 230bhp gti massive spec black 5dr I have to go back as its in another showroom Looking at the pics its smart 17 plate 1200mls ruby black waiting for call back to arrange a drive

Sorry Colesly my mk5 is stage one r tech standard susp.     nothing else as I wanted to keep it near standard

There are few fairly close to me but their white not fussed. Im going to check the 230 out the spec is mad. in the pics it looks special and because of the enhanced p/ex got money over to get R Tech on the case

[titchy]

Seen vid from dealer of 230 GTI test drive Sunday few bones to pick over p/ex but looks promising

[pudding]

What about a TCR on lease?

[titchy]

I wish, don't like that grey paint. Plus at my age its me that will expire before the lease. Cash for me,
