New Golf GTI MKV DSG owner/member!
« on: March 14, 2011, 02:39:15 am »
Hi,

From the South, Hampshire.  Just bought myself a MKV Golf GTi 2.0 DSG, 05 in Red, 47K miles - Trade purchase, immaculate condition, all the stamps, reciepts, warranty etc!  :happy2: - Great service and great deal..

Been with the car for five days and it just keeps getting better.  Forever suprising me.... And the DSG.... Awesome! No regrets!  Looking for any reasons to drive it atm.  Picked up my Vpower shell card already - with the intent on using it pretty heavily I suspect in the next few weeks :wink:

This MKV beast is a huge step up from the MK1 Leon Cupra R that I used to run IMO.  The chassis on the Cupra doesn't even compare to that of the GTI's.  The speed feels pretty similar but more solid in the GTI and with much less torque steer.  The DSG helps it along and puts a smile on my face everytime....   :grin:

Profile info/car pics to follow.. 

Will enjoy it standard for the time being but who knows..

Look forward to the help and banter!

Cheers lads!

Haha agreed! Pics to follow very soon!  Need the time to take some decent ones.

Quick q?  Are there ever any MKv GTI drive days/ road trips/ meets in and around the Hampshire area? ...  Past, present and future?

Got a few months to wait, then i'll be wrapping the wheels in some new and quality rubber.   Can't wait to feel how she plays then..  :wink:

Out of interest, what tyres are ur ED30 on?
