unsure of the focus. i dont like fords to begin with.

Ms3 and gti are great cars. I'm not sure How VW are with maintenance but ms3 Would most likely be cheaper

yah, ive heard gti's are pretty much a hit or miss like most euro cars so that is one area i dont know if i want to take the chance.

the ms3 appears to be pretty solid. i dont read too many serious issues with that car. too bad it's so frikken ugly.

I have a friend with a Stage 2 GTI running 12-15 psi and 240 whp 260 tq and it has 120k on it. He blew thru 2 transmissions and exhuast leaks etc..

His maintenance is very high

DLSTR · 07-16-2012, 02:33 PM

GTI's are really no different than any other car. Start modding and running them hard and you will get issues. Plenty of other owners drive them and have very few issues. Its a great car that does all things pretty well.

I would not have any other HOT hatch. Well I did have an Abarth 500 that was sweet as well

Kenchan go test drive the GTI - the overall quality will impress you. Compared to being in the Z its a sound booth, so quiet and solid. I never test drove 1. I bought it and had it shipped over. Man what a great surprise in terms of quality and performance. GO FOR IT!!!

Plus the Top Gear review was the deal sealer for me. There are faster cars, but the GTI is still the BEST Hot Hatch. All others wish they were a GTI. It has been a TOP 10 best car in Motor Trend for years and is again to boot.

Oh I did wash and drive the Z today...since this is the daily what did you do with your Z thread lol

i wont be doing any engine mods. maybe axle-back at most if there's such a thing offered on the MS3. will do swifts, spacers, maybe front splitter.

i test drove the previous gen gti and it was nice. it was more like a regular car with regular sporty sedan feel imho. it was nice inside and quieter and a plush ride.

on the Z washing and driving.

ive only looked at my Z this am.

DLSTR · 07-16-2012, 02:42 PM
