Hey guys im new to this site and would appreciate some info about golfs. I recently got my P's and am now looking to purchase a golf. I basically want to know what the best golf would be (performance wise) to get, keeping in mind i can't drive turbos. I've done some research and at the moment i am leaning towards an FSI, but any opinions and knowlegde you could share with me on this would be greatly appreciated.

The FSI isn't really worth buying - unfortunately if you can't drive a turbocharged car, the GT's, TDI, and GTI aren't options... so you should look at something else entirely

I wouldnt say that the FSI isnt worth buying. Its just not a rocket ship is all. Still not embarassingly slow. It would make a sensible daily driver if thats what youre after.
You dont have a lot of options though. Id just steer clear of the 1.6 perhaps.

Thanks for the replies, yeah i was looking into the 2.0 FSI. I want a golf because i find it's a bit more upper class than some of the other options out there, but as i said i would also like something with a bit of ooomph haha. If there are any mods i can look into to improve the engine i'd also give that a go if it was worth the performance increase.
