I am absolutely in love with my GTI, no other words can explain how much I love driving it and it just looks like a $1,000,000 to me.

Small car, big engine! Best car that I have ever owned.

Quite quick, not fast but lots of low down torque. Always get over 40mpg on runs and even had 46 on one tankfull!
Build quality excellent, 85k no squeaks, rattles, everything works and it drives like new!
Looking quite old now but still quite smart.
Servicing by myself, good fuel economy, even insurance costs are ok.
Great fun on twisty roads, much better than i ever thought it would be! Much more composed than my other mk2 golof gti!
