2005 Volkswagen Golf GTI review from UK and Ireland
"Truly gorgeous yet subtle design with performance, comfort and practicality all in one package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, it's a Volkswagen and it's reliable and built very well.
General comments?
These Golf GTI's are well worth the extra money over and above what you would pay for the Seat Leon Cupra, Honda Civic TypeR OR Vauxhall Astra thing that is too powerful for the chassis! The Golf GTI 200 looks fantastic, but doesn't stick out too badly in a crowd hence less trouble from vandals. It drives very well, its comfortable and well built. Fuel costs are around the ave 28mpg.
You will find people looking at your car whilst sitting in traffic, they are rare compared to the others I mentioned earlier probably because of the higher price tag, but its all worth every penny.
The Golf GTI has returned with the best Golf GTI since the MK1. And best of all you will never ever have trouble finding a buyer when you come to sell who is not willing to pay top money for owning one of these amazing cars.
I love my Golf and a lot of my friends want one too!
