Thanks. That's pretty much what I'm after. I'm just fighting the "everyone gets a golf" effect. Even though it's pretty much perfect. I need a reasonably safe, reasonably practical, reasonably fun, and reasonably affordable car = golf GTI.
Yours is very clean. I do like the understated look.
I drive a 6 speed mk6 gti. it's lower mileage (55k miles). I've had it for 5 years. I lowered it slightly and spaced it out slightly.
the handling is better than the power which is what you want. I can't remember what it was like before I stiffened it up. it's great now.
highly recommend.
