So basically I had a ly r27 from new with low mileage which i loved but the 3 gearboxes in 4 years one out of warranty pissed me off no end and this was my 4th Renault by now all off which were plagued with problems, situations changed I bought a transit st connect van which was remaped and loved for what it was work/pet/hobby orientated basically the ideal for me I only owned for 9 months and was stollen and luckily enough traced threw police to a local cut up shop in airdrie by chance threw my m8s wallet but no sign of my van and insurance had already paid out by this point. Was on hunt for a new car for a month or so now and ford and Renault were a no go and was contemplating a lupo gti as was only car I had ever regretted selling.
To cut a long story short seen a golf gti edition 30 with 14k miles on the clock with dsg and not knowing much about them looked in to it, basically a detuned s3 engine with the same turbo,internals but just a smaller intercooler running 230 bhp had a test drive and instantly fell in love iv owned it for a few months now and is easily the best car to date and a a remap will take me to 305 bhp with ease and with a few in expensive mods up to 400, ill admit it doesn't feel as good in the bends as my r27 but the car just feels to me so much better than the Clio and my mpg to work on motorway I'm getting 36mpg which was unseen in the r27, Renault should sort out the issues regarding there cars and short term problems iv always loved Renault but there on going problems had cost them a long term customer!!
