Don't worry. I'm 56 and had a Mk1 GTI in the 80's, a Mk2 16V in the 90's and now have an Edition 30.....!

21 with a gti? whats wrong with a nova? :signLOL: have to say, hot hatches are better suited for twenty somethings, problem is when you get to thirty something, got kids (ie less money) had loads of hot hatches, your ready for a change and cant really justify an elise :signLOL:

....There weren't any hot hatches when I was in my twenty somethings. My Mk5 GTI is my first hatch and I find it the best allrounder I've ever had. I'm not interested in family saloons - Most are boring.

My father had a white Mk1 but that was when we lived in Athens.
