Golf R -v- Golf GTI

[Candyman]

86 got talked about because people were tired of the GTI vs R chatter (well, that happened after the first page)

Ford ST...What an ugly POS!

Well, it's in good company with a Golf which ain't pretty either ....

Having driven the XR5 all I can say is that there is no fizz

Huh ?

ST or XR5

XR5, if the ST is the updated version I can't see much has changed.. the R and GTI are a much more enjoyable experience

And much prettier than the current generation Focus which I maintain is an ugly POS!

the Focus RS has its flaws but still is 10X more exciting than any other German hot hatch

I don't think anyone is talking about the RS, only the ST and XR5

G'day All

Picked up my long awaited GTI last week and loving it. Lo and behold my +1 has been headhunted into a new job meaning she gives up her company car but can buy a new one ($ increase more than worth it). She will be doing some K's in her commute so thoughts turn to economy and performance- cue GTD. However, the GTI gets pretty good mileage particularly with mainly highway driving and a fuel card with my novated lease (she will train it 1-2days a week as well). So, do I give her my GTI and trade myself up to an R?! I went back and forwards to moving to an R whilst waiting for my GTI so this could be the perfect win-win situation Thoughts/comments appreciated.

I would go the GTD for something different.

The GTI is more than capable enough for day to day use.
