I actually like the look of the A5 GTI, but there is no way I would spend money to buy one. I want a car that will last at least 10 years and 100k+ miles. The new VWs can't do that. As soon as my last GTI hit 5 years, it was no longer reliable. At 8 years I couldn't afford to keep it on the road and it had more rust then my '70 914 (with lots of rust).

I'd buy an A1 GTI long before I buy a new one again. I find it funny that I see more A2 cars on the road than A3s.
my daily driover is a 96..has a bit over 436k miles on it, been bulletproof. my wife and i are looking at buying a new gti. we bought a 95 gti vr6 when they first came out and it was awesome...175k miles with no problems at all..till it got mangled by a truck, hatch rtusted though(they covered it under warranty)
