159 vs Mk5 Golf GTi - 31/01/2012 19:48
Following on from this thread, we've whittled it down to either an Alfa 159 or a mk5 Golf GTi, or possibly a mk5 GT 1.4 TSi. I'm aware this isn't a direct comparison because they're quite different cars.
Does anybody have any experiences of the Golf GTi, I've read a few reviews and they all rave about it as a great hot hatch and all rounder.
Of the list on the link above it's the only car that if I was driving and a 159 drove past I wouldn't think "we've bought the wrong car".
My issue with the GTi is would I get bored with my Coupe?! They're similar power and weights and the Golf would almost certainly handle better std vs std. I'm worried my Coupe wouldn't get a look in!
What are your thoughts?
