I've made it to 90k. It's been a while as I've not been driving as much lately, but I'm there.
The car hasn't been flawless over the past 10k with having had a new clutch and gearbox, but it's also had the cambelt done and a major service. Economy is disappointing, but I'm doing fewer motorway miles lately and my cruising speed is slightly north of 70 which has an impact.
Still comfortable on smooth surfaces. Still has a crashy ride thanks to 18s (lesson learned) but it does look nice on them but it does work well with the suspension set up. Winter performance has been iffy, but that's a tyre issue.
20594
The car is overdue to go back and someone on here is buying it from the lease company - I'm sure there are cheaper Golf GTs out there, but I'd say few with as much history as mine and hopefully no others with a new gearbox and clutch which would be where I would start asking questions of at 90k.
I'll do a final writeup when it's gone and hopefully the new owner will keep us updated with his plans for it :)
