GTi Question

[triode12]

I'm in the market for my first hot hatch. The Golf GTi is a joint front runner after driving a few, the other is a 3 MPS.

I just have a few questions I need some answers for before I make a decision.

I've been reading reviews on the MK6 GTi and the ESP isnt switchable, which is a problem for me as I will be using it for hill climbs, track days, motorkhana's and anything else that takes my fancy. Is there an aftermarket flash that lets it be turned off when the button is pushed?

And my final question is, is there an actual Flash box that you can carry with you to upload tunes on the run or when the car goes back to VW it can be flashed back to stock? All I seem to read about is software updates and I dont like the idea of losing the tune if VW has an 'update' one service and paying out $1500 again.

You want a MkV not a MkVI. Cheaper and you don't have to fuss about with getting a flash to disengage ESP.

There are still new MkV GTIs or demos to be had.
