So it´s about time to get my first car and cant decide what i´m going to buy. I have 2 options either vw golf gti mk4 or audi a3 8l with 1.8 turbo engine, both in manuals. They are in same price range so i need your personal opinions about the cars

oh.  shut.  up.  Do you even know your engine codes and subsequently what era of a car he is talking about?  He's looking at older cars, you fucking crybaby douchechugger. 

I mean Jesusmaryandjoseph, will the butthurt EVER stop?  Seriously, kiddies be hatin' like they're getting paid for it around here, an A4 isn't even THAT fkn awesome- step your hate game up and go for something bigger and shinier.  This ins't even deserving of your hate and if it is you are a jealous, angry little bitch.  Over&out.

Hey man, whatever gets you there with enough money...  If that's all he has then I'd say it's perfect.  Nothing wrong with driving a shitbox if it does everything you need it to. 

Also inb4 hate and someone calling me out on A3s not being old...  Read it as A4, not sure why...  Fuckin sue me.

Dont you just love people who think anyone under 25 that drives has a 100% chance of crashing their first car?

When I got my car last year, at least 10 ppl told me "I don't deserve a new car because I am too young and will crash it"

8L A3 is old, you're all good. They didn't sell the 8L here in the states.

I personally would pick the GTi over the A3 in this case but like I said, earlier, they are essentially the same car.

Get the GTI, working on VW's is cake compared to Audis. Plus you will very soon be bored of the 1.8t and there are many options for turbo upgrades and power gains. There are also many sick OEM+ upgrades that will make your car better looking and unique. The electrical problems are easy to work out in most cases. The only bad thing is the FWD. Just make sure you find something that is well maintained, you dont want to have to clean up after the PO. And for countless reasons,.. get the 5spd.
