VW's, what is it about them?

[TW]Fox said:
Don't get me wrong, they are not bad cars and not slow, but the way you went on about it being faster than the devil itself gave me the impression you once whuuped a tuned Supra with one in Need for Speed and so now think it's some sort of hypercar - it's not, it's just a fast Golf (Before you start, in exactly the same way an ST220 is just a fast Mondeo).


But in comparison to other hatchbacks its quite impressive engineering. Reliable, sexy :cool: , compact and FAST. So for a person who falls into that target market. It is perfect, therefore it voids any further disagreement with my Fanboyism

;)
 
Exactly. I learnt to drive in a Golf so naturally I've developed a liking to them, and the thought of a version of my car with that engine in is awesome. Still, each to their own.

I have to admit, if I'm ever able to afford an R32 I'll probably have a more mature taste or get a poser's car lol

OH, on this subject. Someone has a polo at school and claims it is a 1.6. It's the 2003 variant and has no label on the back, so surely it's a 1.2? I thought all VW's which are equipped with engines faster than the standard one have badges?

Is a Golf considered a sexy car now? Really?

MK4s look a bit meh but the MK5 ones look really nice IMO.

Not because I drive one or anything :D

The older ones are nice depending on your taste, but I'd definitely prefer the MK5 out of the modern Golfs.

Sorry I didnt think insulting other peoples cars was on the agenda.. how does it feel to drive last millenium?


(i love MR2's so dont take that personally, just firing one back atcha ;) )

the mk.5 is a bit meh, but the mk.4 is great!

tbh if i was offered a mk.4 r32 or a mk.5 r32 , i would take the mk.4 :) "each to their own"

I'd tap that :D :eek:

I certainly prefer it to any other hatchback.

How does this not also apply to the Seat Leon Cupra R, the Audi S3, the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA (ok, thats not reliable), the Ford Focus ST/RS, the Astra VXR, infact any number of the plethora of hatchbacks which are compact and fast?

That is the most pathetic insult I've ever seen on this forum, it makes all the more amusing that you drive an S reg Golf isn't it? :confused:

X 2001/2 manufacture actually,if you are picking hairs again.. what do you drive again? you got that nice Bmw havnt you?

And the R32 is quicker than most of those and as said before, a golf is my type of car therefore i would go for the quicker version of it.

I would however have the Seat, the Audi S3 and possibly the Focus too :)

There is some serious WTF required for this thread :p

Golfs are not sexy. You can find them good looking, but sexy? Sure, an R32 looks good, but it isn't sexy. An Aston Martin is sexy, a Golf is not (Neither is a 530i, usual suspects - it's a good looking car but it isn't sexy. No regular car with a bodykit suddenly becomes sexy - only good looking).
 
Yes but Aston Martins are blowing everything out of the water. Of course they're sexy, but Golfs are certainly more sexy than a lot of cars.

I wouldn't normally, as I really couldnt care less about when a car was made - but your dig at his car being last milenium was particularly ironic as the Mk4 Golf was introduced in 1998. Which, last time I checked, was in the 20th Century.

what do you drive again?

BMW 530i Sport.

I would however have the Seat, the Audi S3 and possibly the Focus too :)

We are getting somewhere :D

you forgot to say "in your opinion" because i dont take anything you say as fact. You act as if your views are the face of the forums and that everyone has to agree that what you say is motoring law.

The golf to me IS sexy, as said by tommy too.

However a Seat owner will say the Cupra R is sexy. etc

Aston martin is a wet dream :)

in its class in your opinion.

(its the only way to survive if you post something like that ! :)
 
I was about to say why is everyone getting so frustrated over this futile argument?

It's like trying to say brunettes are more sexy than blonds. It's a matter of opinion.

Serj said:
Tommy and Booner, i'm guessing you both have Golfs as first cars, no?

Yes, but obviously I've been in a plethora of different cars belonging to all my mates and I'm not jealous of any of them because the Golf is so superior in terms of looks. Maybe not speed, but I'm only driving the 1.4 so that can be expected.
