I've had nine for a year and a half. First car I've ever bought new and so far one of the best cars I've owned, aside from my mk2 Gti 8v. I having owned every variant of the golf other than a mk3 it's a great all round car and I can't really think of anything I don't like. Fast enough when I want it to be and a great family car when required. Only thing extra I ordered with mine was the bresca wheels. The standard gti spec doesn't really need anything else that doesn't come standard to be fair.
