Seen one on the road

Cool, can he get any piccies of it that we can get up on the board?

From the look of the pictures we had from Auto Express it looked like VW had raided alfa's parts bin for the seats and wheels, would be keen to see what they've settled on

Do you know what powerplant it had in it? Was it the 2.0fsi turbo? Very interested to see if 200 bhp is enough to lug that thing around!!

How about handling? The press have been impressed with boggo standard Mk5's, wondering of the Mk5 will set the title for hot-hatch crown alight!!

I thought the gti was an fsi?

[S11EPS]

Well, this is what I was thinking, as the concept GTi has only just been released, which is still a design study, and it isn't launched until Paris motor show next year.

I thought the gti is the 2.0 fsi turbo lump.

[S11EPS]

yeah, it is, the fsi thats doing the rounds at the moment is a normally aspirated jobbie

[golfvr6]

The fsi engines are sh!t hot for power and fuel economy.

I drove the new A3 2.0 FSi. It was crap. no power. very smooth, but sooo boring.
