So after finally selling my 2015 S3 S-tronic my work told me they needed me back soon so I had to get a car. Got fed up going to see cars that had been misdescribed, got sold just before I got there or much worse....... That's another story!
After my 2016 5dr Golf R DSG, 2015 3dr S3 S-tronic and 2018 RS3 I wanted something 5dr, auto and easier ran and under £20k, I did consider a Golf GTD........ Diesel
Went to Agnews to look at a 2016 GTI and a 2016 R. The R was rough as, cheap mismatched tyres and rusty bad brakes yet it had 23k
The GTI was immaculate, went well and had winter pack, Keyless start and nav. Bought it.
I actually don't think I'll do anything to it bar fit dsg paddle extensions as the tiny paddles are hard to reach at 9 and 3 on the wheel. It's getting 39mpg and 50mpg is possible! It goes OK and wheel spin happens in low gears so it's a wee bit involving........an RS3 is really fast but I felt completely uninvolved, for me this is the fun in driving. A remap takes them to 300hp but I doubt I'll bother as it's OK power wise.......... I'm shocking myself tying that
So far I really like this car. I really liked my Golf R and regret selling it but I think this it better with the options it has. I'll only miss 4wd if it snows!
