Mine looks like a GTI other than puffs of black smoke when pushed , gti interior , gear knob steering wheel , monza's (18's) bodykit bumpers , milltek (full system) lowered on eibach pro dampers/springs , 50+ to the gallon on a stage 1 , £130 tax per year , insurance group 12 , keeps up with most hot hatch's..... The perfect combo of Eco and go
So why not try and source something like this...???

Just worked out the cost, if i average 27mpg over 10000miles a year, the increase in tax and insurance it will cost me an extra £1002.72,
decisions decisions decisions :confused:

Hi there
I've just recently traded my 56 plate Jetta 2.0 tdi se in for Gti, yes you will notice the fuel economy but for having 200 BHP i get 30mpg around town and about 37 on a run averaging 80 mph, but the driving experience is great theres just something about the Gti even though i thought the Jetta was a great car as well. All you can do really is experience it and you could always go back to a Diseasil !!! Go on spoil yourself.. :wink:

Good man, I dont think you will regret it! I do about 12000 miles a year and whilst petrol is becoming more and more expensive I dont fancy going back to a diesel.  :happy2:
Have fun!
