Big difference in price and performance there

The 90 is the base compred to the GTi

If you are after excitement the GTi wins hands down
But you are talking a $10k min premium over a great daily driver (the 90 TSi)

Why dont you go half way and get the 118?? or the diesel?

Not "as much" power but stil brilliant
You will still save $5k and have the current model

Futue te ipsum!!!

But the Mk 5 GTI is a steal at the moment as they are clearing them out for the new model

I havent seen a mk6 in the flesh, havent sat in a mk5 let alone driven one, but the mk5 gets my vote. I like the brutal boy racer grill.

if you got $35K, buy the Mk6 comfortline with twin charger - thats what we paid for ours and its just pure joy to drive.
Absolute rocket (118 kW) - beautifully styled too !👍

Didn't happen!!!
Barloworld Five dock would have to have the worst customer service I have ever encountered
The car was not ready to be picked up as arranged ie car not detailed and paper work not complete and they were not apologetic
so I told them to shove it

Went to Mcgraths Liverpool and bought a black GTI Pirelli instead I suppose it was all meant to happen as I am really happy with the Pirelli and 169Kw

The moral of the story don't go to Barloworld Five Dock

Picked up the Pirelli today! whoa what a sweet ride, I have a huge grin on my face that will last for a long while
cant get over how much technology this car has
best thing is KRudd is paying 30% of it
tax dept is paying 10% of it

I dont mind paying the rest
Wakefield is very tempting😵‍💫

Congrats mate!

Pirelli's are cheap version of the Audi S3 which is great value.

My mate bought a yellow one 🙂

Talk to Guy Harding it will cost around $1800 to get it to 230kw!

Then why are they discontinuing them? I have heard that after all the effort the R32's are only minutely quicker
the new R series will be a R20
the same spec motor as the Pirelli 🙅

I would be checking that to make sure its 100% !
MRT claims to do the same, but when you read the fine print the manufacturers wont cover the modification...........and the installers will only warrant their work/items, not other components that may fail.

So if the gearbox blows up due to the power increase.........well then no one wants to fix it ! 😠

The R32 Golf is being discontinued for environmental, cost and efficiency reasons. The VR6 motor will, however, carry on in the Eos, Passat, Transporter/Caravelle, Phaeton and Touareg models for the time being.

The outgoing 2.0-litre Mk5 GTI produces 147 kW, while the higher spec GTI Pirelli produces 169 kW. The outgoing R32 (4WD) has 184 kW from a 3.2-litre six.

The R32 Golf will be replaced by the new 'R20T' model, which will be considerably higher-spec and output than all current Golfs. The R20T will put out 201 kW, more than the existing R32, and do 0-100 in 5 seconds (1.5 seconds quicker than the R32). Top speed will be limited to 250 km/h. It will also be more fuel efficient.

Of course it's a market segment above the GTI, let alone the normal Trendline/Comfortline models, and will be priced accordingly.
