w t f !!!! how can any one buy a car and not be sure what it is , surely if you dont have the knowledge to know this imo you should not be buying a gti !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have never had any doubts it hasnt been a GTI until i got the V5 through and to be honest i didnt seriously think it wasnt just strange that the DVLA doesnt classify my car as a GTI, and what does knowlege have to do with owning a car? i joined this forum to increase my knowelge about mk5 GTI's, you dont have to pass some GTI knowelge quiz to be able to own one.
in my opinion if you are buying a premium product it should have a support system where you dont have to know anything, you should just be able to take it to a dealer and get any problem sorted, unfortunatley that isnt the case and the more you know the better really!!
