Trading in my Tc for the neW GTI<--sick car
Okay this is kind of dumb...but people are not talking about how quick this car is bone stock, I actually lost sleep over this last night. I drove a 6 speed GTI and it was so much quicker than my mobbed vr6 gti.I am 100% certain the Mark V GTI will out perform my VR6 in every area and the kicker is it returns better gas mileage...
my guess I'll have a new GTI by the end of February 06
Oh and the car will turn around like your on a bicycle...Did I mention how quick the car is. The sale rep let me take the car on the HWY and it pulled like a mother and had a really nice exhaust note as you got in the higher RPM range...
I'm now certain this car is better in every area than the out going model...I just cant imagine this car with the APR chip 252HP/303Torque with that amazing suspension...Can't wait to pull up next to the car of the year Civic Si or the Mini Cooper S they are so done...It's a wrap... Well done VW
my guess I'll have a new GTI by the end of February 06

i was doin the math on how much it would cost to make the tc a 200hp car???let s see
Scion Tc- 17,500with tax and everythin
Super charger or turbo- 3000 or 4000 (without install)
Would need a new clutch and that crap- S1000
Exhaust-$700
Tires and Wheel cause u'll need it- $1500
and of course suspension- $1000
etc.
so do the math on how much u got to spend to make this car 200hp and all that
Everything in the gti is excellent dont need to change nothing and will still Poop all over a s/c tc bone stock...and with all the spent on the tc u can buy a loaded gti.. gti is a all around better car enough said

thank you!! i was just like.. "Am I the only one thinking this?!".. I've been a VW person ever since my first car.. one Jetta, 2 corrados and a scirocco. Yes, reliability factor was always an issue and that is why I eventually moved on to Japanese cars. But you can't beat a German car for looks, performance and overall ride quality/feel. Unfortunately, I was uber-disappointed when the new Jetta came out. And even more upset at the new GTI.. I used to get $hit for driving the new hatchback civic Si a couple years ago, and now people are raving over this GTI and it makes that Si look like a beauty queen.
All the other features are awesome though, I gotta admit- if you can swallow the looks and the well below-average reliability factor.

the mk v gti ha s been out in europe for almost 2 years tthey fixed all the bugs in it....and the new gti is built in the moterland of vw thats wolfsburg, germany...the other gtis were made in brasil...and u cant say that are not relieable cause i have a 98 gti vr6 with 175,000 miles and still runs like a champ never gave me a problem.. u just have know to maintain it and take car of it...japanease car needs less maintainin.. but jap car will never drive like a german car..why do u think when ur goin 90mph on a german feels like ur goin like 55 and on a jap car ur 90 feels like ur goin like 140...cause the germen cars are better built made for speed/AUTOBAHN...
