New GTI Owner - Hello!
« on: January 17, 2012, 07:49:32 pm »
Hey Up,

Just bought my MK5 GTI. 3dr Tornado Red, Manual. Coming from a MK5 R32 DSG/MK4 GTI. I couldn't get on with DSG and am loving the new motor so far.

Looks like a brilliant site, been lurking for a while. Glad I can finally say a proper hello with my new motor!

Cheers.

The R was a cracking car and they are brilliant, but my example unfortunately wasn't. I still think the GTI is the better all rounder, personal preference I suppose!
