03 GTI, thoughts???

[E36MPWR]

hey, im planning on getting a 03 GTI 20th anniversary. What do you guys think about the GTI over all? I think they are pretty sick, but i dont want to be cruzin around town in a chick car. I wont leave it stock for very long and it is a tight ass yellow. It pretty sick. let me know what you think!

great motor, but FWD.

get an R32 nuff said...it's worth it...3.2L motor...240 hp NA...AWD...and it's light (hatchback)...it's essentially a 20th anniv just with AWD and 3.2L engine. Thats low 30's if you can find one. Otherwise the 20th anniv. is a great car I seriously considered getting one..the 1.8t engine is very tunable...the only down side is that it's FWD

EDIT: the MSRP is 26,700 or so and one can be had nicely equipped for 29k and change, what the dealers are marking them up I don't know.

if you can't get bmw get a vw (the same as an audi just cheaper and no awd)

ok, i gotta reply to this. I drive a 20th. anniversary GTI (Black). It is not a chick car. It's a GTI, not a golf, not a cabrio...definitely not a chick car. Not to mention the body styling, wheels, interior...it's much different than a regular GTI.

As for the R32...if you're planning on modding your car, screw the R32. I know AWD is a ton better than FWD but the 1.8t is sooo much easier to make fast. But then again, if you have that kind of money to spend on a GTI, go for it. The R32 does rock.

Good luck on the purchase man, let me know if you need any questions answered.

Been trying to use this image for a while:



GTI = Golf.

yeah, i know the r32 are awesome, but i cant find one in colorado. And my next car i want it to be yellow, and this 20th gti is yellow, but maybe i will just hold on to my cosmos black m3 and trade it for a dakar yellow if i can find one. haha

p.s the gti is not for homos okay, they are little pocket rockets!!

rrrrrrrrrrrrright.....that's why you'll pass up the Twin Turbo kit for it?

btw that takes the R32 from 270 to 360 hp

[DMan11389]

let me elaborate on what I was trying to say. The 1.8t is just really easier to tune (easy as in cheap and simple to get done)...such as a chip or bigger turbo. I don't doubt for a second that the R32 would kick ass with a twin turbo but that comes with quite a price tag.

some of you need to get off your high horses. cough "scorp" cough. personally, i think GTIs are badass. the R32 is cool, but i dont see how you can spend 30k on a golf. i just dont see how you could. with 30k you could get a S4 or an M3.

i look at that picture you made scorp, and i cant beleive how lame you are. grow up.
