yeah true i did hear that there isnt much difference with the 2 but in the end its about personal preference depends on what you want really i want the gruppeM full stop. lol thats just me i had a cai in the past so this is a change also with refrences to dynos and such for gains and no gains its hard to compare also unless its been dynoed within the day short periord because remember that every dyno is different every day is different taking into account the outside temp, oils, tyre pressures, tyre tread left so on so on but yeah if i were you wait up and get a gruppeM *to EP3EVA *

thats my 2 cents on it

Steven.

i have your mind at 1st about the gruppeM,...just come to the point i should spend my money wisely on mods, yeh it just feel better about myself....in the past spend to much money on mods!!!

I have heard that aren't "loud" enough, but I have never compared them so I wouldn't personally know

[rpm boy]

you buy performance cars and fuel economy is a major concern???

anyway the mk5 GTI might be over your budget by around $5k but it's a great car. not saying EP3 isn't great. as i said i love both for different reasons.

Define performance car ! i understand what your saying, but compare an EP3 to a ferrari or r35 GTR and its a shopping car but im getting 13-15 litres per hundred (boost, what do u expect) so fuel is a major consideration in the buying process and unless your doing "spirited driving" above 5500rpm the fuel consumption is good but i guess you could call it a sliding scale more performance more fuel etc on which the EP3 is in the good side of the scale

As for the Golf, most of my past time is working on cars (i grew up in a servo, and past experiences have detered me from the Vw's BMW's and Audi's of the world which is comming from a servicing/fixing part of view cause they go like a bat hot of hell, its just little things that i think about that turn me off that other people dont really think about. That and i will never buy a turbo again....too many things that can go wrong

yep, and im 23 aswell

OOOOO i like that, thanks for the reply, there quote system is down atm so ill ring them up and c what they give me

i'd think EP3 and GTI are in the same market. similar size, hatchback, around 40k (3dr) etc etc. so we're comparing apple with apple here.

13-15L/100km?? that's higher than what i get from the GTI (average 11L/100km). but i'm on about 9-10L/100km on the EP3 so i guess you have more fun than me
