New Golf GTi
Anyone here gone from a wrx to a new GTi?
I'm seriously considering going from a MY04 WRX to a new Golf and wanted peoples opinions. Doing this would save me almost 200 quid a month.

Very nice car imo...My friend has a gunmetal one with the 18`s on it. Goes pretty well, smooth power delivery and also likes to rev....plus very nice exhuast note for a std car. And the build quality seems very good too.

no, white is THE colour.
well i hope it is since i have just ordered one.
Not that quick, but it just feels 'right'.
I would imagine it would feel a little slow compared to the wrx.
However a remap to 250 ish might sort that. See REVO or Superchips for details.

I test drove the DSG GTI and thought it a fine car, quite quick, thought the DSG was great, but found the amount of wheelspin on a wet road to be extremely off putting, I was expecting great things having read/seen so many reviews on it but ended up quite disappointed, just my thoughts on it and I'm no clarkson!

The savings come from me getting a car on a company novated lease rather than HP (I'm in Australia and novated lease's attract less tax). I'd get another WRX but the 06 looks like a Daewoo IMO. A White GTi manual with leather and xennons is currently on the top of my list...or 2nd hand MY05 rex.
