That looks almost the same, except the wheels.  :confused: :confused:


And the massively flared wheel arch extensions...

Im sure you can get some from halfords if you really must.  :P

I'd have one!

Me too. I dont need a practical car. I really loved the Mk1 Cab, not so much the Mk3 and Mk3.5 Cabs, but the Mk6 model is really nice imo. I like the Audi A3 version too, but the Golf pulls it off better.

I just don't see the appeal of these type of cars - Golf Cab, Megane Cab, Focus Cab etc - they all look like a big pile of mince to me.

If you want a roadster buy a roadster (S2000, Boxster, Z4) - not some half-arsed attempt at one.

Each to their own though I suppose :laugh:

To be fair though, they offer totally different levels of practicality and versatility. I once considered an S2000 before I had children and I concluded that it is only suitable as a second car. Whereas I've had an 11-plate EOS for a month now, and although it's far from being a sports car (heck it has Passat underpinnings), it's a nice car to cruise around in with the roof down, and so far we've managed with two young children. If the GTI offers the same levels of performance, handling and practicality as the hatchback it is based on then I reckon it might be a decent enough car.

If you're enjoying it then that's the main thing as at the end of the day it's your money you've spent on it so what other folk think is by the by :happy2:

I had an S2000 for three years (2004-2007) and it's been my favourite car I've owned so far. I did enjoy a bit of top down motoring even though it meant everyone could see my baldy bit :laugh:

Christ no, I didn't buy the thing, I'd never do that! It's on loan to me from VW while they sort my GTI :laugh:
