    I know the second owner of that car, he is from around this neck of the woods too. It's been through a few hands since but it was a great car when he had it. Quick too, i had a standard mk5 GTi at the time and I wouldn't have seen where this went on a backroad. Underrated for sure.

    Questionable if it's really a "hot hatch", but would you consider an R32?

    I would love an EP3 Type R, but decent ones seem to be very thin on the ground (the one posted above looks lovely though).

    I've never driven a Mk5 GTI - on paper the EP3 definitely looks to be better in terms of performance, but I wonder is it the case that in the real world the torque of the GTI provides more usable performance?

    A fantastic option but the tax would put me off! They are already gouging me with the m3...
