RallyeBaz Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Had £10k to spend and could not find a 1.8T MK4 Golf with low mileage for the money.Visited the Dealers and they had a 18 month old Lupo GTi sitting on the forecourt for £9995. Had a test drive and was shocked how good it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieron Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 It's the closest thing to my real passion which is the mk1 gti but being new is super reliable, has aircon, xenons, power steering etc plus is an exclusive, cool little car that are cheap to run, fun to drive and have rock solid residuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L119 UPO Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) Got to echo the above comments really. Also the fact that it's cheap to run and lots of fun, proves that you dont really need a big powerful car to have a great driving experience.Check out this video, fair enough there are much faster cars out there. But the GTI does a very good job for what it is. Edited December 4, 2007 by L119 UPO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou's Lupo GTI Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 sold my mk4 1.8t to get mine and it is loads better. handles better, cheaper to run and you dont see one everyday and when you do you are actually interested in it. Its the closest thing to a mk1 gti...... thats what started it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 I was lucky enough to be one of the first people to drive one of Scotlands first Gti`s. I worked at my local Vw dealers when the Gti`s were launched and I was the second person at work to drive it. It was a silver 5speed with red interior, I was in charge of the valeting team but I chose to valet it myself and after my little test drive in it I said 1 day I`ll get me one of these.The shape of the flared archs and bumpers, the cheeky centre exit exhaust, the sporty looking interior,the sound of it when your giving it some beans (sounds better with the BMC now)the way it drives (also better now that it`s on coilovers)and the fact that they`re not that common (although there was 4 silver Gti`s at the scottishvag mega meet)I traded in My Octavia Vrs for a silver 6speeder. It was my first new car and I knew with a few subtle tweeks suspension + wheels it would look cool, I saw a picture in the Golf+ june/july 04 off a grey Gti with porche wheels and that kindae sealed the deal.
