My Mk5 Golf Gti - Chris - 17-06-2017
Had to get rid of the IS200 as it didnt feel right driving it after it was repaired. Maybe it was just im my head i dont know
I was unsure what to get as i didnt want a 4th IS200 and not many other cars took my fancy, thats until i drove my bosses Golf GTi at work. I couldnt fault it. It had more or less everything my Lexus had.
Whats more the car i have now knocks spots off the IS in performance and fuel economy.
Average mileage around town in the IS was about 27-28 mpg, my Golf now is running at around 35 mpg. On a run ive had it upto 41 mpg.
After a lot of searching i found the right one for me, and this is it.
