i still love my car. every time i tweak it i fall in love with it all over again.

not a good time to sell atm so i'd advise getting a couple of toys to keep you happy? lowering springs? RNS-510?

..mod it more.

Just my thoughts.

I'm 44 (fast heading towards 40 bloody 5), had my Ed30 since new which is 6 years in March.
Love it still, and still got more modding thoughts. Might just be me but I'm not bored of it at all.

I Agree, I think its normal to have a pretty up and down relationship with a car,  :ashamed:, but changing little bits to make you smile every day makes all the difference !  :happy2: Again wouldnt even bother trying to sell in the next month at least  :sad1:

I had this a couple of years ago, and bought a grandad car; Saab 9-5 Aero... great in a straight line, but poor in the corners... soon came back to hot hatches; the grass is always greener.

 :congrats: :congrats:

Love my Eddy too!  :love:

Had a few cars, some better looking IMO, some faster, some with better MPG, some with more gadgets BUT not one compares to the Eddy for its "all round" ability. As mentioned, mod it more, a lot more! The more I mod mine, the more I enjoy it and the way it looks and  the way it drives/handles blah blah blah.

Its not that your getting old, its the opposite, I don't mean to be rude but your only 23 so it's in your blood to get bored quickly. I know, I was there once and also have 2 kids your age and older.

Rent any car for a day and you will see what a great driver's car golf is!

Every time I do it I realize there is nothing better out there!

I've owned my golf for almost 3 years now 8 months ago I thought I was getting bored and bought a new focus st mapped it turbo back exhaust was quick but every time I got in the golf realised how great it was so the focus had to go. Now I'm doing a k04 upgrade porsche brakes and bits and bobs you won't find a better car  :drinking:

Dont know wat other mods u have, but ive had my GTi since new, 2005, and yeah like u I got a Stage 1 remap, albeit a Bluefin plug-in from Superchips, nowt else (apart from RNS510 which I love), and last yr considered changing car as it just didnt feel alive anymore! Then got bak into this Forum again, did sum research, changed my DV, pcv, and cam follower, added a Twintake and BCS TBE, got an R Tech Stage 2 and quite honestly have never looked bak! Moral is, as sum here have eluded to, dont change, just tweak here and there (depending on yr budget of course) and I have no doubt ull fall in love with her again!! Soon to be 40! :-D

this is the best reply as to why you have a good car, bought new st focus and went straight back, soooo many people leave the golf and come back, you will do the same
eventually if you sell

I've had my Mk5 GTI over 7 years from new and have never ever felt bored with it and I have driven several other high performance cars during my ownership and never felt disappointed returning to mine.
