I know what it's used for when it comes to the ladies However to refer to a car as a Rabbit is ridiculous in my eyes. Nearly as bad as 'Fox'.

off the rabbit topic, seems a little over priced to me.
gttdi is just a sports spec tdi, loads of names chucked around to sell them off at one point.
better off finding a 130 or 150bhp spec model.
the 115bhp models are ok, but won't make you feel like you're moving particularly quickly.

i went for a bora 130bhp sport model and had it remapped to 170bhp, much nicer

golfs may be reliable but they are expensive for what you get and not very roomey i would get the 150 if i was gonna get one
watch out for the six speed boxes they are shite notchy second is the first sighn of a fu**ed box

the red di in the tdi means it is a 130 not a 115 so check it has not been re-badged.if it is a 130 my wife has one and it goes like stink.

I've got a 115 red DI it's been mapped and pulls well, on 133k and 6 speed box is tight - torque must be the killer on these golfs so I'd be more careful of mapped 130, 150's over the lower models.

They say a 130 is the best but they cost more I have found
