Went up to our p.d.i centre today to find that a nice shiney red mk5 gti had just been dropped off!! managed to give it a quick spin up the road, loved every minute! The GTI is back at long last and its going to kick ass!! I want one!!!!!!!
I'm seriously thinking about getting one, although I've heard along with the R34 there will be a light wieght version of the GTI in about a years time, anyone else heard that?
Will see what i can do nick... poss could pick it up from which ever of sales staff has it as there company car (demo) on the day of the next meet!! Or will see if i can have it for the weekend!
even the light wieght will be 20k+ , will you pay that for 200bhp? if my budget was 20k i would be looking for something a bit quicker and a bit more special. not worth the cash in my opinion.
I tend to agree. I don't doubt it'd be an awesome car, but needs to be quicker and paint that Goddamn black plastic - it looks cr@p
Even if it has 'only' got 200bhp, everyone's raving about the way it drives, and just think , if a 150bhp 1.8T can be re-mapped to 200bhp+ just think what a Revo/(enter your favourite chip tuner) here mk5 GTI will put out Tiff,Plato and VBH all loved it on 5th gear this week ( and took 10,000 miles off the tyres on some airfield )
RSD have the results back from Oettinger Germany The car will comfortably see 250bhp and 260lbs of pull on the re chip.....same figures AmD are quoting on the new A4 that they been chipping for a while now. I'm going in for my test drive at Silver Street Taunton Saturday......apparently they have a red GTI being PDI'd as we speak. Bye bye MKIV me thinks........maybe selling some nice bits of that to include APR Cruise 5 Chip Programmes Milltek Full System and D/Pipe BBS CH 8.5 X 18 Alloys with new Gyear F1's smoked rear lights and full Oettinger Front end..Grill Valence etc if anyone's interested Ian
Ian - definitely! My G/F has a Mk IV GTI (Black 3dr) so any bits you have please PM me details and prices
have seen loads on the road since summer, most of them have been the 2.0 diesel though, hmm GTI though
Wasn't just focusing on the power out put of the mk5, its a damn fun car to drive! wouldnt want to corner a mk3 or mk4 the way you can with this. Think the whole package is good, for me i like it alot
