That's what I'm thinking. More car for less money. No GTI badge, but the rest should be more or less the same (I'm guessing the Jetta's ride will be softer). Bit of a Q-car in the making there...

Deek.

No turbo either by the looks of it

Looking to change around June/July.

Changing already?
Yeah, I get bored WAY too easily. Don't get me wrong I love my Golf to bits, I just fancy a few more gadgets etc, and some more power at foot.

Tom

Yeah dude what are the specs? bigger pics for us?

Well in a moment of madness I've just put a refundable deposit on a Leon Cupra R, and I won't even get to see the car until Tuesday!
2004/53, 18k miles, recarros, and REVO

Nice one mate, one of the best 4 door performance cars around I think as well as the New Evo's.

I quite like them as well, what colour?

Its a red one, Never had a red car before so thought I'd have a change!

I reckon they're fairly subtle, which is what I like!

cheers

New Polo GTI has just got some new competition after a visit to the SEAT stand at Autosport International - 180bhp Ibiza Cupra comes in with more power, cheaper price tag and still has the VAG reliability/build quality. And, it comes in a metallic grey, which is a colour I really really like!

I dont want to let go of my Polo GTi for a while yet. I recently drove a brand new Polo SE with a few extras and I couldn't wait to get back in my GTi. The build quality has got worse with the Polo (doesnt even have gas struts to hold the bonnet up wtf?).

I will need something of equivalent spec or better, which also has a beautiful interiour and subtle tweaks to the outside of the car that make it look nice. So its either:

Audi S3

Mk5 Golf GTi

Atm its a non-issue, i couldn't afford insurance on either cars but i think id go for the golf, asssuming they don't get too popular. One thing i like about my GTi is that there is only 3 thousand of them in the Uk.

For a decent one I'd say maybe anywhere from Â£4.5k to Â£7k

Ive had a 6n2 gti and have now got a 9n tdi, and I would say that the build quality is better on the 9n.

I know what you mean though, VW are always looking at cost cutting, e.g. changing the spec of cars (struts, puddle lights, etc, etc).

At the end of the day though all car companies seem to do this!

I dont think its accurate to say that the build quality of the new polo has got worse, all the vws are well built and put some more expensive cars.

Sorry if it seems like im ranting!
