yousif Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi All, I've orderd my 5 door, reflex Silver, manual GTI earlier this month, but I can't wait to drive it. It will take about three months for the car to arrive. The problem is that I have exams at the University and all what I'm thinking about is my new GTI. Can someone blame me!!! I'd rather be examed about the car.. I used to have a 2002, 3door V5 2.3L manual, Yellow golf which was driving nicely until I lost it in an accident, which thank god it wasen't my fault. Those who drive the manual GTI, what do you think of the car? Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTiMK5 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 You will love it. The manual is lots of fun, not driven the DSG so cant compare it but you wont be disappointed. Welcome by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32North Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 A Student driving a new GTi......... would never have heard such a thing in my day. Students drive Minis or Beetles or whatever cost £100 or less!! Anyway, nice car and Welcome to TSN and to the GTi forum, full of super advice and very enthusiastic owners!!

skifly Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 was quite lucky as most were company cars so they were all weeks old when i got my grips on them - had rangey for nearly a year (full 4.0 SE with leather etc - not the latest shape but the one before), the E300TD for 9 months was great fun (double airbed in boot ) and was really quick and fun to drive (hence my 3pts) and the 328 was only for about a month before i took it back to leeds and it got stolen from olds house (broke in while they were sleeping for keys). Finally he Aclass was my piece of junk that died many times and nearly put me 6 feet under on many occasions (suspension failures and was taken off road 3 times for being dangerous - so much so dealers pushed it into the service bay!!). The Maccy D's run in a rangey with a private plate was fun - quite amusing seeing loads of grubby students bailing out of a black rangey with tints outside MacD's.

yousif Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thanks for good replys. And for those who have a problem with the idea of a student driving a GTI, I want to bring your attention to that studying at the University does not mean that I'm not making money make money does it!! I might be doing my PHD or MBA, although I'm not, but will soon, I'm only 22.5 years old and please no comments on my age. I'm a successful investor and I own the largest golf shop in town here in Bahrain and I'm married, means I'm working hard. Does a GTI sound to much for all what I'm doing. I don't think so, for all the responsibilities I have, I think I deserve having fun driving my GTI. sorry, but I disagree with the comments on the student part. Best regards, Silver GTI, Bahrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 As far as I'm concerned, I wish you well. It doesn't matter how old or young you are. If you have the money, whether you worked for it or not, it's no-one else's business how you spend it. It's good that you have the good taste and style to appreciate and own a GTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomx3 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 i had a late 60's renault 16ts which had an engine transplant (but was still leaking oil) while at uni. having driven many crappy cars in the past only makes me enjoy the gti more!

OzGTI Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Red, Isn't Corsham the place where all the Midsomer murders take place? Inspector Barnaby and all that. I'm surpirsed you found anyone alive there if that's the case. Just as well you have the GTI for those quick escapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzGTI Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I had a Nissan, no Datsun it was then 1200. About the only similarity to the GTi is that they both have four wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
