Hi all, better make a introduction post as I've already defied the rule and posted twice in another thread.
Just ordered a Golf GTI yesterday, it will replace the girlfriend's
'03 Astra (
die) and be the new daily driver for our 90km/day commute. I waited patiently for the Polo GTI, but when I found out the delivery date would be August for the spec I wanted, I quickly forgot about it.
The Golf will be a 2011 build due in May, white 5 door DSG with Dynaudio, BT, RVC, Detroits. Current car is a well-modified '07 Focus XR5 which I'll be keeping as my toy, but looking forward to a relaxing daily driver with balls in the GTI. I've gone with tradition and ordered the car with no test drive (I like surprises), but I've driven the mk5 before and I loved it, especially the DSG, feels like I'm playing rFactor. Girlfriend has never driven a car with more power than the Astra (90kw), so I'm looking forward to her reaction when her foot first goes down. Power is safety, I think after living with a lack of power for so long she will really appreciate the Golf.
I seriously considered the mk5 GTI back when I bought the Focus but the $4k price difference helped make my decision easier. I don't regret it though and soon I'll have what I consider the two best hot hatches ever sitting in my garage, so I'm pretty excited!
