It even has the golf ball texture on the gearstick

They've had that as far back as the mk4 (and possibly even further?) - it's a nice touch

Janesy B · 1 Mar 2014 at 10:39

Even the mk1 Golf has it

Howard · 1 Mar 2014 at 10:46

I figured it would. I didn't want to falsely profess that to be the case, having had no experience with mk1, 2, or 3 Golfs though

Golf looks great! I really like the seats and the driver oriented dash.

Golf looks good on the outside but the tartan

Why? The Golf GTI has always had the option of tartan seats so they are keeping the tradition there which imo is great, plus it actually looks good. :cool:

Howard, I'm sure you were in Alec's 1.8T which would have likely had the golf ball knob. It's a cool gear knob, feels good and looks good in the old cars.

Totally agree

Ah yes, but when I say "experience with" I mean more than just "riding in once or twice" lol

Actually I have had a fair bit of experience with a mk3 but that only had a 4 speed gearbox (well, 3.. Don't ask) so the golf ball was probably a bit opulent for that particular model.

There's is something about GTI's in red

sigma · 1 Mar 2014 at 21:48

That Golf looks pretty much perfect

wasn't keen on the tartan the first time I saw it but I keep looking at the pics and it doesn't look too bad. Certainly different!

Hyburnate · 1 Mar 2014 at 21:57

Wow, really like that Golf...

Bennah · 2 Mar 2014 at 09:23

Overwhelming great reaction to the Golf, quite rightly so.

It does look great in Red and 'Tartan' seats.

Brilliant purchase.

Tartan seats will never look good, Golf or no Golf

The car looks great, though.

Rubbish- no more handbrake turns!

Why would they give the GTI an electronic handbrake? *******s!

Taking my mum's Mk6 GTI out in the snow last year was brilliant fun. Sliding around using the handbrake is brilliant in a FWD.

That's such a shame. Other than that, nice! Looks to be a good spec as well

I really fancy one of these. If it's not a rude question how much did you pay? I have heard you can get them for around 2k which seems like a bargin but I can't ever find any.

Also how do you find the lift is it a useable engine day to day?

Relentless81 · 2 Mar 2014 at 21:19

Prices are all over the place from around £2k for an older 190 right up to £6k for a T-Sport and/or GT dependent on age condition mileage etc

Best bet to is look on Auto Trader

I've always had high revving engine cars as I prefer them, you would mostly used Lift for example joining a motorway or dropping down a gear when overtaking, its a lot of fun and never gets old for me but its not for everyone, obviously its not something you can do in traffic sometimes on my commute I wouldn't be able to use Lift at all

Had this for almost 2 years now.

Will be looking for something a little sportier when/if the good weather comes

Ford Focus Zetec with appearance and convenience pack. I really like the look of it, photo does not do it justice.
