After 5000k in GTI Original

[BenT]

I’ve had my manual Original for 5000 kays now and I couldn’t be happier. My other drive is a 2015 Polo GTI manual and although I prefer the low down throttle response of the Polo, it runs out of puff pretty quick and the Golf is more fun to drive because it gives a much bigger and longer shove in the back.

The seats in the Polo are just a tad too small too.

The three doors of the Golf are a little hard to live with, and o have to be more choosy with parking spots, but overall I couldn’t be happier with the Golf.

Chosey about parking spots as the 3 doors are bigger/longer?

How hard is for rear seat passengers getting into the back?

My kids have no trouble getting in the back but they’re both girls approx 5 foot.

It’s wider than the Polo so I’m nervous about parking next to other cars unless I can get an end space because I’ve had so many dents from other car doors.
