i seriously doubt it LOL, it probably means if you have a mk5 golf you will get something of similar size like a Astra, focus etc

you will get something with power.

my insurance is the same, my gti went in a got a 2.5TDI alfa, which to be fair wasn't slow. But they said they have mk6 gti's (prob only 1 that's always out)
