Finally I'm a Mk5 GTI Owner!
« on: July 30, 2010, 02:06:55 pm »
Well after years of wanting a mk5 GTI, and gradually becoming addicted to GTI forums. I finally picked one up last night.

Its a Nov 06 Tornado Red 3dr with 18'' monza's, parking sensors, armrest and 6cd headunit.

I payed a little more than I wanted, but for the condition its in I am just glad to finally be an owner!

Hi Mate, Feels good dunnit  :grin:
I loved my MK 4 especially the interior, But i love my MK 5 even more, And i think it looks best in 3 door guise  :happy2:

Funny thing happened to me today, as i was driving along i adjusted the seat height for the first time (the previous owner was similar height as me) and i set it at it's lowest setting and realised that you sit much lower than in a MK 4 GTI, It brought a big smile to my face when i looked up at all the headroom i now have, it's like the bloody tardis  :laugh:

Hello and welcome.

I made the jump from a 111S Elise and although I miss the handling and thrills I don't miss the noise/ride. I can drive hundreds of miles now in 2 days and arrived relaxed or i can put my foot down and enjoy the ride.

With the Lotus you didn't have the choice and long journeys on MW was frankly boring and uncomfortable.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys  :happy2:

Just been for a good long drive this evening, and it really is perfection for me!
I have been driving petrol and diesel Polos for the last 6 years, so it is a massive change for me.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
