hi all

just wanted to get some opinions/advice from others... i have a 2002 gti, with 154,000 km on the clock. i'm about to fork out up to $1000 to get the door locks fixed (motor has failed in one of them), and it crossed my mind that maybe the car is getting old and i might start to encounter more issues in the near future. maybe i should sell it and get something more current.

i'd love a mkV gti, but i'm not really prepared to spend more than $20k for one at the moment. so the other option is the polo gti, which i can get reasonably cheap with low k's. it doesn't quite cut it like a mkV gti, and it does look a bit girly, but they are cheap and quick. i wouldn't need to spend too much more to get one after selling my mkIV.

so what are your thoughts? do you think i'm going to run into more issues with the mkIV, or should i just keep it. i'm going to have a look at a polo gti this week, and see what i think. it would be nice to have a new car, just to change things up, but i'm not so sure if a polo gti is an upgrade or downgrade!
