yeah, except only 1 fits in the garage. LOL

STR= fast and classy,

GTI= kinda quick and very nimble


I may have both cars at linden hall if anyone going wants to feel the DSG tranny and XDS system. Vehicle also has Launch Control. <insert evil grin here> I honestly love driving the GTI, it got 33 miles per gallon average across the US. Yet it can get you in trouble epecially if you suffer from the need for speed on a windy road, this would eat the Jag in the twisties.

The new GTI has just toooo much wing for me. The 5 door however is BOSS. Very quick.

Beautiful cars. Late friend of mine had an 80s GTI. Quite a car and he ran the wheels off it. Only serious problem was he neglected the timing belt which broke and bent some valves. He fixed it himself though and it continued on.

New GTIs look cool , I disliked their predecessors though . Red stripes onto the grill look very aggressive too
