MK 5 Golf GTI - is now the time to buy?
Discussion
One more tip:
Some TFSI engines seen to burn a lot of oil. Not necessarily a problem but you need to check oil levels regularly and keep on top of it.
My Mk 2 Octavia was one of those, a half litre per 1-2 months was not uncommon. Ran it from 40,000 miles to 120,000 miles without incident.
Always used Shell Helix Ultra oil.

Looks the same as my old one - though I had cloth interior.
Yes they can guzzle the oil, and I got the sense they aren't as robust as the public perception, with interiors that can wear, some niggly sensor issues, weak aircon system so a few things to keep on top of but with regular servicing and preventative maintenance will be fine.
