Yea i wanted the new gti last year but i gave up on the VW's I've owned three and i have not gotten any positive results from then..I've owned 2 tegs and my sis has one and we have had not even 25% percent of the problems that these cars give people..The New Gti is ok..but it looks like the echo with a slight differant platfrom they have been using..Hopefully it'll be as good as the original gti..not slow like the 3 or heavy like the 4..Anyway I don't hate on VW's or Hondas..they all break the same to me..hehe
