Does anyone have a collection of magazine articles or reviews from when the MK5 GTI was first launched? Would make an interesting read  :smiley:

I have every Eurotuner Mag from early 2006, first year for the MK5 here in the US, to 2009. I would look there. I still have those because they covered the MK5 and the aftermarket progress each month in them. But it looks like Eurotuner is no more...it now appears to be SuperStreet...http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/160-0612-et-2006-volkswagen-r-gti/


They do have a "Search Articles by Make, Model, and Year": http://www.superstreetonline.com/volkswagen/gti/02/?year=2007
