About 200 mile round trip. The dealer put enough fuel in to get me home  :happy2:

I travelled over 520 miles round trip for my first 06 plate gti and it developed a bottom end knock the same day I got it home !! Paid good money for it to from a we'll know performance car dealer in West Sussex , got my full money back after 2 weeks of complete hell ! I'll never travel that far again , 1 week later found the perfect gti 45 miles away from home lol

About an hour

I probably travelled the best part of 500 miles in total visiting various dealers to look at various examples before deciding though

I went about 60 miles maybe, to a place near Edinburgh. Well worth the trip from mine I thought. There were loads of 5 door gti's near me but I didn't want a 5 door so had to go and find one

A round trip of 320 miles…twice.
I went down for a test drive to the south coast then two weeks later travelled down on the train with the money in a backpack,which was nice  :smiley:
