I'd known for some time that I wanted to replace my Audi TT 225 Quattro coupe with a Golf GTI 2.0 TFSI. Ever since the first pictures of the Mk5 GTI concept appeared, and how the actual car appeared soon afterwards, I knew that I wanted to own one. The initial press pictures showed several red and white examples, and I knew that I wanted one of these 2 colours for mine. I had been disappointed with the Golf GTI in the MK4 version, and despite nearly buying an 180hp 20VT Mk4 anniversary, had chosen to try the Audi TT instead, and wait for the Mk5 GTI to be launched....
