come on guys that have them

my 1.8t is costing me loads to run, its coming up to 3 years old, so will start losing value soon if i dont sell it/trade it in

so... some of you have had the 9n3 gti before

weigh up some pros and cons please!

9n3 gti vs 6R gti

im not too bothered about speed/power etc, cos i know it wont be as nimble and quick as a mapped and lowered 9n3

im just more or less interested in running costs...

how much is the tax a year? fuel costs? etc... how many miles do you get to a tenner?
have you got used to the DSG? i drove one 'spiritedly' and i ended up flashing oncoming traffic rather than shifting down a gear haha!

help me guys and gals!

Thanking you in advance!

cant help you with comparing a 9n3 gti but i collect my gti tomorrow..

tax is 110 a year

and on my test drive i got around 38mpg with quite alot of heavy right foot action

hope this helps a little bit

It's a no brainer 6R GTI is great! Average 37-38 mpg over 2300 miles that I have covered do far. It is great fun and pretty quick too. Not had a Polo before as I had a Golf GTI ED30 before so its not as quick or as sharp to drive but I am not disappointed with the 6R so you can forget about the fact that you have a mapped 9n! As I have said in previous posts DSG is the future it's like having your cake and eating it as it is the best of both manual and auto! I like you wanted to save money and have fun and I have got what i wanted so just go for it.

Just as quick as my old mapped 9n3 better handling looks better interior miles apart like a golf inside dsg excellent do it

me to kc

abarth is quick but i want a more refined car now so i might go up to guilders in sheffield to see if they have one in showroom to have a look

The Italian's, love them........... but they are difficult to live with. I have nearly bought a number of Fiat Arbaths and Alfa Cloverleafs in the past but my head has always been stronger than my heart and then bottled it I think you will love the GTI!

Thanks guys for your input! think im gonna have to delve deeper and see what i should do! looks like a visit to the showroom though!

i need to go on like a weekend test drive or something, only been out for a half hour blast to see what its like!

chris when are you getting it mapped? you still in machester-ish way? will have to meet up to see what its like and have a proper look without the salesmen hawking around me! lol

oli matey hows it going?! let me know if your getting one, we'll order 2 for a discount!! gimme a text!

guys i went down to price one up and spec'd it up to how i want it to be

can you guys tell me how much you paid? if you dont want to post it on here can you PM me?

just want to get a rough comparison!

my spec was

winter pack
climate
xenon pack
MFSW

came to £19.300 views on this please?

Don't bother with mfs waste of money doesn't do much get convenience instead

Options are a personal choice so you go for what you want. However I do agree the convenience pack and winter pack are good. MFSW is also good. I would recommend the RCD510. I did not go for climate as it comes with air con and Xenons are expensive when you can upgrade STD halogens cheaply. Price looks ok but you could try for more discount or further options included?

thanks chris! let me know when you have yours mapped!

gap and autoglym care thingy ma jig thrown in!

probably try and blag some more stuff!

can you post a picture of the MFSW please if you have one? thanks buddy!
