I BOUGHT ONE
A ARON YARWOOD
‘I bought my Goodwood 309
GTI in March 2016, and it's now on
about 160,000 miles. I use it as a daily,
and often stick the roofrack on so it can
ferry my longboard around Cornwall. It's
what I call a five-yard car, but if it had no
imperfections I'd be too scared to use it
on school runs and shopping trips. I had
the top end refurbished last year, and
the rear beam two years ago, both
by DIY enthusiast members
of the 309 Owners'
Club.'Hot hatch, saloon
or notchback? Let's
just call it a snatchback.205/309 GTI
