black with 18inch monza upgrade alloys i love my VW Golf Mk5 GTi.some cars are above factory standard output when leaving the factory and mine certainly is.tested @219bhp and its not a edition 30 model. yes there are no mods. its faster than civic type r 02 model and 57 models and focus sts.everyone seems to think i have remaped the car but this is how i collected it from the vw dealers.costing me 16k with 13,000miles on the clock it was not cheap but well worth it.especaily seeing the faces on these civic type r drivers that think there cars quicker because on paper it says so lol.by the time these civics vtecs quick in the gtis turbo already has and its gone.i choose the golf mk5 gti over the other hot hatches because it holds its value better more comfy,easy to drive solid build quality and very tunable.the same year civic 57reg was 3grand cheaper.a 09 civic was 16grand so goes to show how the golf still holds its value.the other choice was the seat leon cupra 240bhp but found the inside a ittle to cheap apart from the seats and felt a lil high in the driving position mpv like.but still have a soft spot for the leon but just prefered the golf gti more ikonic. best car ever had.are very rare but not as rare as they used to be as i think people are starting to buy the older 05-04 models as there cheaper.im starting to see as many on the roads like u do the newer civic type rs.the edition 30s seem to be everywhere not so limited as the normal gti seems rarer.overall very good cars
