I LOVE IT!..
I used to own a 25th Anniversary 1.8T which had a few mods such a remap, intake and a few other suttle mods, IT WAS A THRILL TO DRIVE IT (at 18), after that I had a E92 BMW, Audi A5 Convertible, and a E46 M3, I sold the M3 in June i think, and baught the MK5 GTI. I Swear, I feel as though im not missing out on the big bhp compared to the M3, I can still zip around London towns busy and small roads very quickly, and drive it like a OAP when I want to too!..
The Mk5 is suprisingly spacious in the back especially with my 3 Door! Petrol isnt to bad either 27/28mpg on vpower around town is great for me, and thats not being shy on the peddle either.. Well my M3 did give me 19mpg around town LOL!
EPIC (AND ITS NOT EVEN MAPPED YET)
