Volkswagen Golf GTI (2005 - 2008) 2.0 GTI 3d DSG (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm 25 so wanted to be different from all the boy racers out there. Wanted a car that was quick, refined and well respected. Civic Type R and BMW 1 series drivers will envy you, trust me.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everywhere i drive, people stare- From young boys, to old men, to young girls, to older women. It's a car you can't really hate as it appeals to everyone. It's beautiful. Family love it too!.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes.

What are you likely to buy next?

Wanted something different from everyone else.

What was the dealer like?
