I had an 07 GT 170 from new. I put 127,000 miles on it in a little over three years. It was the best Golf I have had as an everyday tool. In total let me down once with failed injector and needed replacment and loom. Also DPF light came on no less than 4 times and had sensor replaced each time........twice under warranty! Apart from tyres that it ate! Brilliant. Driven hard from up north to Essex for 4 hours late one night returned 42mpg! Driven like Miss Daisy I saw 57mpg and rising. Replaced with A3 quattro 170 which isn't nearly as quick because of the additional weight but engine basically the same and love the way they drive. Wouldn't hesitate to have another. Compared to our 04 Gt 140 performance wise like chalk and cheese but 140 returned on ave 3-5 mpg more. HTH 

That was a brilliant summary too
