#1: GTI 138 VS GTI 180 Author: Lewis1600, Location: AngleseyPosted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 5:44 am ---- Morning all,
Right really need some help...
I used to own a 206 hdi.. then the clutch went so I swapped it for a astra mk4..
Now I want to get a 206 GTi but Im not if I want slightly senible and get a GTi or go all out and get a 180...
Insurance is only £100 difference...
Whats the MPG like on a 180??
and are they much quicker??
Any help thank you
Lewis.

And what they are like to run & own.

Ive tried searching
#4: Re: GTI 138 VS GTI 180 Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 6:02 am ---- My vote goes to a 180.
Get a 138 & after a few months you'll be wishing that you got a 180.

Did you not read that topic then...
The 180 is a far better car.... You can do alot more with it and by the time you got the 138 to the same standard a 180 is you may as well brought 2 180...
#10: Re: GTI 138 VS GTI 180 Author: LilLew, Location: PlymouthPosted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 6:57 am ---- 180 all the way

You can do less with the 180 in terms of modifying it.
You wouldn't just tune a 138 to 180 spec though, you'd go further.
In short if you want to keep standard then buy a 180, if you want to modify then buy the 138.

#14: Re: GTI 138 VS GTI 180 Author: no_offences, Location: LeedsPosted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 8:23 am ---- had a gti got a gt, driven a few 180s the 180 wins hands down in handling, it has more poke and the interior is so much nicer, if your not like me and with insurance being a issue there is no reason to get a normal gti,
#15: Re: GTI 138 VS GTI 180 Author: no_offences, Location: LeedsPosted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 8:27 am ---- ed makes a good point tho 138 is more tunable, but 180s are very cheap now, if you can afford it go for a 180, there not much faster if thats all your after but like i said inside is alot better, mpg is noticeably worse ive heard not owned one so couldnt judge that aspect from experience
