@AutoPap Had a mk7 GTI and now a mk8 GTI.
Mk7 had the best, simplest, easiest to understand interior around. I’d even say the dials were better than the digital gauge cluster in the mk7.5, and the mk7.5’s touch buttons on the infotainment were also a downgrade.

@Tumi213 I have one just like this. My mate has an M2 Comp. In the real world, on real world roads, we are both agreed the GTI is faster. Capable of sitting a decent speed and being comfortable at the same time, never scares you, still useful for a small family.

@AutoInfatuation A note for the future. https://t.co/Uyzha93Pyo is just Euro Car Parts, but with a limited range and usually some decent discounts. Saved a small fortune when I bought a few Yuasa batteries for buses last year.

@JamesLArnott I went posh and got a mk7 Golf GTI. I now have a mk8 GTI and it’s … shite. VW have spent many many £ on warranty claims on it, and I’m about to go back to them again for another steering wheel because of errors flashing up randomly, again 😥

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@JamesLArnott Needless to say, my first 2 cars were Renaults, and I’m seriously thinking about ditching my Golf for the new 5

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@JamesLArnott There was nothing sport about ours, but it had 13 inch alloys and a wee spoiler on the boot. That and the softest grey and black ‘optional’ seats.

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@JamesLArnott With any luck, it’ll have been the same utterly breathless, but dependable, 2.2D that was in my parent’s N reg Laguna. The car was no race winner, but that was genuinely the most comfortable car I’ve ever travelled in.

@modernheroestv We have some 23 plate eBerlingos at work that aren’t a kick up the bum away from 100k miles now. 7kW max charge rate most of the time, too. They seem to be alright.

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@benchapman123 That actually sounds like a good weekend 😂

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@AutoPap Now that my Golf has disgraced itself, yet again, by breaking down in the 5th lane of the M8 last week, I’m considering one of these. I’ll still be in a GTI, but one a lot simpler and probably more fun for it, too.

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@RossBeagle2 @edintravel @SGNgas The per crossings were very much ON last night 😅

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@AutoInfatuation Beautiful design. The choice of car for many Government cars, and the top brass in Bond movies too, which just makes them that little bit more desirable. There’s just something about them that sets them apart. I have a colleague who has an XJ-L and can’t look past it.

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@ThompsonCJ91 Pleasingly, it’s one I have driven on service 22, when it was still a pink top!

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@cleanforthewknd That’s useful to know. Tyre reviews online are almost always conducted on a test track, at speed. 90% of a normal person’s driving isn’t that, so some ‘real world’ thoughts are useful. Better in the wet - I’ll need that, living in Edinburgh.

[Daniel @DanEunson]

And it’s for sale, too!

[Daniel @DanEunson]

The things you dig out of a corner after lying there for years and years. This Atkinson started on the button, too!

[Daniel @DanEunson]

@theturbochimp It’s always good to get out and help keep the wheels turning.

When the going get tough, the tough get going 💪🏻💪🏻
