Re: waiting for the mk5 golf

I would be tempted by the 4 door A3.

not for an extra $20,000. Im sorry but for the money the GTI wins hands down.

The A3 I priced out came in at just over 40,000 (or maybe it was a touch under) that was with HID's, the fancy sunroof (which I'm not sure i'd even get), DSG and sport package. Something tells me that a GTI is NOT going to start at 20,000. If I had to guess i'd say the GTI (with similar options) will not be that much cheaper, if at all.

Re: waiting for the mk5 golf

The only thing I don't like about my car (other than the 2.0) is that it only has two doors. I've been renovating my place and even to flip down the rear seats is a pain with a two door.

Yay for the GTI 4 door!!!!

i will bet that the A3 is $5000 CAD more than the Golf V when similarly equipped - in fact the Audi will probably be better equipped at that price, simply by virtue of being an audi.

Re: waiting for the mk5 golf

One of the NA car mags (either C&D or R&T) have a write up on a euro spec mk5 gti this month. Pretty impressive #'s, 0-60 6.0sec, latteral g's .90. This was a 2.0t with dsg. Should be a lot of fun with nothing more than a chip.

But our gti will have softer suspension and no launch control, and price is still uncertain of course .

Cant wait to test drive one when they arrive.
