Is the Mk7 GTI still worth buying?
And there are still many, many reasons why that’s exactly what you should do. Released in 2014 then updated in 2017, the Mk7 GTI followed the rather good Mk6 and incredibly good Mk5 (the less said about the Golf Mk3 and Mk4 the better…). It’s based on the same ‘MQB’ platform as various Skodas, Seats and Audis and, yes, the new Golf.

Initially, the existing 1.4 litre TSI was available alongside this new 1.5 litre engine. The updated Golf GTI was increased from 162 kW (217 hp; 220 PS) to 169 kW (227 hp; 230 PS) in the standard car and from 169 kW (227 hp; 230 PS) to 180.2 kW (241.7 hp; 245.0 PS) with the performance pack. The Golf R similarly had its output increased from 221 kW (296 hp; 300 PS) to 228 kW (306 hp; 310 PS). In addition, the facelift increased infotainment screen size across the range as well as adding the option for a fully digital dashboard. The rear lights now utilise LED technology as standard (including a "sweeping" indicator effect on performance models) while this technology is optional on most models for the headlights.

What is it?
The quintessential hot hatch. Rarely the most exciting, most engaging or best-handling car in its class, but usually the most sophisticated and desirable, the Golf GTI has been around in some form or another since the mid-Seventies, when it was dreamt up by a team of just six blokes working after-hours.
What's the verdict?
Even though it's effectively an outgoing model, there's still a lot to like about the Mk7 Golf GTI. Yes rivals are broadly cheaper, more powerful and more fun to drive, but that's business as usual. None can match the GTI for desirability and quality - it's a hugely classy, class-less object that is hard to beat as a day-to-day car.

The convenience of a powered cart and the wellness benefits of walking: that sound like a promising combination! Four of our Forum members will be testing two models of powered carts from Motocaddy, the M5 and the M7. Follow along with their impressions of these carts here:
BIG STU
Ok I think most of the folks know my background. I am 64 years old now. I had retired working part time for the company I was with. Had a bad accident at work ended up breaking my back both sides of the L-2 and collapsing the disc. Also broke my shoulder and had a bad concussion.

I was .. very pleasantly! .. surprised by my wife with an MGI Zip Navigator for my birthday (yea me ) - I really like it, but I'm still really curious as to how it compares to the Moto Caddy models, so looking forward to learning more about them.

Greetings fellow Spies! Golfish reporting in for another great testing opportunity provided oh so graciously by Motocaddy and MGS! Quick intro about me. As my MGS handle and picture implies, I am an avid golfer and fisherman. Yes that is me holding a casting rod on a golf course trying to fish my 6iron and my buddy's sandwedge out of a tree.

That thing folds up pretty small! Can you guys show pictures of it in your trunk? Bonus points if you have a small car, trying to see just how compact this thing really is.

Nice first impression @golfish! Is there any indication in the box of how many hours the battery lasts? Or if not how much did the battery go down after your 2 rounds?
