Mk7 Golf GTi is only 17mm wider. In answer to the OP I am considering changing my mk5 GTi for the mk7 GTi, after test driving I am very impressed.

If golfs keep getting wider every model change I might have to move down to the Polo!Mk7 Golf GTi is only 17mm wider.

Why sell? I'm keeping mine...but I do like the next R so I likely will add it to the garage. Born and raised VW, right?Me in the back, third from the left, in 1967 ;p
Cool 67 bug did it have upright headlights and not the early ones so a USA 67 bug with long bonnet?

Born and raised VW, right?Me in the back, third from the left, in 1967 ;p Cool pic , I was raised with a VW too , not a bug but a 78 Mk1 Polo in Riyad Yellow , bought new by my Dad and in the family till 1988 , I learned to drive in it in 1986/7.
