I'm after a 5 door hatchback that can deal with a 3 year old, plus offer a bit of fun.

I'd never heard of the MKV TSI GT until I starter looking at GTI's a month or so ago (I have a history of hot-hatches, have owned a MK1 GTI and 205 GTI)

There seems to be more of the 1.4's about compared to the GTI, I guess they were more common?
The engine is more complicated than the GTI, but is it known to be weak? I'm tempted by the idea of owning a supercharged and torbo'd engine, it's basically a Lancia S4 smile

Looking up to 6k, what are the downsides?

I thought it might be too good to be true!

Thanks anyway, potentially going to see an A3 2.0 TFSI tomorrow instead.

Is it not the same engine as the Golf GTI of the same age?
