I love the looks of the new GTi, but is it just me, or was anybody else shocked about how big they look when they saw them in person for the first time?

yea it was a bit pricey... but I was willing to pay the price for the VW loyalty... I could have gotten an STI, or a 350Z, or a used R32... but dammit VW why'd the GTI have to appeal so much to me??? bastards!

Agreed on the rims. The R had 23k+ Miles and they were still asking for $28k. Besides the R isn't much faster at all than the GTI. -------------------- '99 GT & '06 GTI

yea the r32 is really over rated....its heavy, the awd system blows, and the v6 doesnt put out enough.....better choice with the gti but......fwd?

FWD FTW! lol, j/k. Yea I know, I'll be honest, my GTI really isnt fast at all... Its got good acceleration, but mostly the "Fun-Factor" that got me. Think about it 6 gears, and torque is that at 2k rpm. There are so many cars out there built for speed, but I'd like to see those cars in the everyday driving situations. I drive the 405 daily (those of you from so cal know what I mean). Its a moving parking lot.

Nice, but it needs lowered and wheels in the worst kind of way.
