Has anybody got any news/specs/stories/opinions about the new GOLF V? I heard it is out already in Europe. I am in Asia and they said they would release it here this month. Waiting in anticipation. I used to own a Renault 172, but totalled it while driving (a little over the limit) on a highway..heh heh. the stoopid airbags didn';t even come on! Anyway, thinking of getting the GOlf V FSI 2.0 Engine. I don't think I can wait for the GTi next year...but I could mod the 2.0FSi.....any ideas?

the GOLF 2.0 Liter FSI will be much weeker than your old Renualt sport 172hp .
if your looking for pleasure i would take the new renualt sport with 182hp , great car and tons of pleasure

The new Golf V is out in Europe. EVERY review/story/comment I've read/heard says that this car is way the best in it's class, along with the Focus. Perfect on every aspect: quality, chassis, engine, brakes, steering wheel, suspension, gearbox, and great driving behaviour and very fun to drive, to sum it all up. I would totally buy it and really avoid any french car...

Check out this review as an example: http://autozine.kyul.net/html/VW2.htm#Golf
I would buy it myself if I had the money to spare!

Yeah i have heard its a really nice car to drive :) but IMO it looks like S**t but there are quit a few on the road now as well but as for buying one no i would go for the new Renualt sport :)

the up coming focus is pretty nice ,the current one is old .
by the way the new one shares the same plteform as the mazda 3 !!

the golf is one of the best in its class ( compact/family car ) not as a sports car and defenatly not the 2 liter version !

I'm still undecided on this car. I think if I wanted a car in this class I would go with a Mazda 3.

do you europeans have something like a GTI version of the golf? :?

or just have a GTI? can someone give me a link or specs, or pics? :D

Yeah, I know the 172 was a pretty cool car to drive....but I had a ton of complaints from friends at the back! LIke riding a rollercoaster. The 182 apparently doens't do any better on the 0-60 mark, it's exactly the same. I guess the only difference is the top speed and when you hit 80+mph. love the dual exhausts on the back tho'! :lol:

Damn, yeah according to autozine, it IS the best in it's class. Strongly considering....

Not sure Evo bob, the 182 is "exactly" (ahem) the same as the 172....10hp is not gonna make it much faster, it probably would sound better tho'. :wink: OH any ideas about suping the golf up? I heard somewhere that there isn't enough space in the front to add anything.....

I think there is, but it is a concept now, the link is on this very website [/url]http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/golf_gti.asp It should be cool but no proper specs at the mo. I don't think I wanna wait a whole year before I get a car. I may consider the Golf V as it is an all round winner. for a compact non-sport, it is pretty fiesty. and comfortable at the same time.

I love the car. I've been on a short skivacation in Austria last week, and i've seen there a lot of new Golfs. It looks just great.

And there will be a new GTI

It will probably get an FSI engine with 200HP. It probably will be released this year

Currently, there is no GTI version of the 5th generation Golf. There will be one this year or the next one though. It will have a 2.0 lt FSI turbocharged engine with 200HP. I guess there will be some AWD versions too. Much later there will be the R32 version, on which I don't have any specs.

I still have no idea if I really like this car or not.... :shock:

The pics look good. Hey wasn't there a guy here who could to photoshop car mods? It'd be cool to see a fully kitted Golf...I think ABT did one....yeah here it is: http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/05/golfabt04_01.jpg http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/05/golfabt04_02.jpg

Hey wasn't there a guy here who could to photoshop car mods?Yeah, he was cosmic. He just disappeared :?

mmmm, the VS4, what a beauty

okay, the ATB customized Golf, I like! that's really sweet looking. the normal one seems to be...awkward it seems.....hmmm, yeah....sorry, I'm tired + hungry = poor train of thought. :mrgreen:

Raith, I'm sure you will like it more as time passes. :wink:

Not to sure yet but it never is long before the Germans start to make space for more mods though :) as and when i see any thing i will let ya know...

mmmm, the VS4, what a beauty

What the VS4?

thats how Abt called it.

Yeah I think if I get the golf, I will mod it to look similar to the VS4. However, they say it only had 168 brake? That's like 18 bhp over the standard 150.....that;s crap. I mean put an intercooler and better exhaust and voila, 18bhp right there. How about suping it up to 200bhp like the type-R civic 2004 version. Now isn't that better?

To know what Abt did to the Golf, just look here

But remeber that it they tuned a diesel
