Hi everyone

Alrite everyone i am not yet an owner of a mk5 GTI as I have to sell my Audi A4 avant first but as soon as it has gone I will be in the market for a mk5 GTI DSG so all info and tips on what to look out for including best spec would be much appreciated

Welcome on board JonnyB!!   

What price range are you looking at?

 They are many Mk5 variants to choose from, the GTI, Edition 30, Pirelli and R32 and not forgetting the TDI's. All have their plus points. If you plan on modifying your future Golf, you might consider an ED30 or Pirelli with their k04 turbo's.

Personally would not say there is a "best spec", just your best spec, do yourself a "must have" list, example being 3dr, DSG, Xenons, MFSW in Tornado Red (BTW, the fastest colour)!! Get yourself the latest model you can with the lowest mileage and happy days!!

When you've blown your WHOLE budget on the car, it's time to mod it!!!   

Cheers

I'm only budgeting for 7.5k which I know for that money I'm only going to get an early higher mileage model but being a mechanic this doesn't really bother me. First thing I will do is pop a warranty on it through my work

^^^^ Should still be in the market for a nice GTI for that!!

Have a look in the For Sale section on here, a fair few beauties for that sort of money!!
