Yeah. Lease deals are very good at the moment. Ideal if you don't plan to mod/track the car.

Cheers. More pics in my flickr photosets.

Yeah, i get similar MPG figures to my old Clio 200. So for 320bhp and RWD its amazing. If anyone fancies one, i can put you in touch with a dealer doing fantastic deals, around 18% discount.

Thanks all. Performance is blistering. Its the Sport Auto, so 0-60 in about 4.6s (book figures are slightly higher, but tests have proven its faster). MPG isnt too bad. You can relax on the motorway in eco pro mode at 40+mpg. A week ago i took it for a 270 mile blast through the Welsh mountains...

Hi guys. Haven't been on here in ages. Ive been the owner of an M135i since Sep this year. Such a beast, so happy with it. Untitled by LukeDeakin, on Flickr

:) Wont be trading my Polo GTI, now when the Polo R comes out however!!!

They are the classic tartan pattern dating back to the original 1977 Golf GTI.

When I was last in the USA it was around 70 cents a gallon. Lol. It has increased a fair bit, but they still pay a fraction of what we do.

Excellent. I do it all the time anyway. Always swapping cars. Wife has told me the Polo GTI has to stay or it's a divorce this time though. Haha!!! Oh, I can still get 50mpg on a run in the Polo. :)

Each to their own. This is my 3rd DSG car and I love it. A DSG remap will help at a later stage. However, want a Polo GTI as I did, you have to have DSG. As you do with a Fabia vRS and Ibiza Cupra/Boc or an Audi A1 1.4 S-line.

Ive been spending too much money on this car. So far: Replaced RCD510 stereo with RNS510 Sat Nav. Got some 30/45 H&R Springs. Got a nice alloy dead pedal to fit. Full Porsche front brake setup, including:- Boxster front calipers refurbished in white, 312mm TT front discs, HEL lines...

Its the wrong side of £25k now though. No doubt, its a great car with phenom handling. But a Rocco R is so much more appealing at that price point.

Lovely!!! :) Good choice. Absolutely love my Dubs. Not that ive had about 20+ of them. I have to be honest though, buying a £23k car as a factory order is a funny way of saving money. Depreciation and cost of the car in the first place will be more than it would cost you to run a Clio for...

Mk5 and Mk6 are also basically the same car. Same chassis, just some minor tweaks. Mk6 is a facelift basically. The Mk5 GTI was the best GTI since the Mk2 GTI 16v.

Updated weight above, as got it wrong.
