i think depreciation on Honda's and VW's should not be a big issue. they are not like Falcon, Camry, Commodore and co... which are often used by fleet.
Still tossed between options... the GTI white can be delivered this week but no BiXenon.
I might just wait until I see the 2011 WRX on the official launch day on 8 Sept next month (a salesperson offered me an invite for the official launch this afternoon).

mine was turbo TFSI and was written off 1 month ago and I only got 30K.....it was 45K+ drive away brand new back in 2008. Only option I got was leather seats. MY08 model. 2 years, more than 15K depreciation?Quote:

I guess its an acquired taste. I initialy hated the WRX hatch when I first laid my eyes on it. Let me be frank and say I still dont like the WRX HATCH. I DO however like the WRX STI HATCH. Seeing that made me slowly change my mind about the looks and after seeing this WRX sedan, I would prefer the STI hatch.Quote:

So is this the MY11 WRX with sti-like pumped guards? So in terms of aesthetics, what does the STI get then? Just a massive rear wing, similar front bar and different rims?Quote:

But then again, thats how theyve been doing it in the past as well so....hmmm.....
in terms of looks inside out, CU2 and GOLF GTI win my heart :)Quote:

Any plans of chipping the GTi if you got one? the DSG is not too reliable compare to the manual if you up the power and torque too much.
Well, here is a blur magazine review from a guy who have both manual and dsg version of the Mk5 Gti

i will keep the engine stock until the end of warranty, but keen to do minor mods CAI and Exhaust.Quote:
