Not a review but I thought this was interesting. Just posted my Mr Chapple on twitter.

Gti Cup sticker on his CS. No wonder that name had been rumoured.

Interesting to see that, thanks for posting up Michele :afro:
Confirms the rumours that the Clubby was originally penned as a Cuppy, probably because the Eddy was originally going the be the Clubby but after a boardroom game of paper, scissors, stone things took a slightly different direction.

He has some interesting things to say there, worth a listen.

He was never going to say the TCR is the best GTi ever even though it is  :whistle:

That was very interesting - thanks for posting it.  I didn't realise the touch screen could be customised to such a degree with one's most used functions.  Actually has made me re-think as to whether I could live happily with that system.  Maybe I could....?  Will have a good poke around with the screen options when the Mk8 is released down here.   

Maybe, just maybe, the mk8 is back on the list for my next car.

The Mr Chapple video was very thorough. After a year of being told the tcr is the best gti ever, now the CS is the best gti ever and the previously faultless tcr now has faults. Make of that what you will.

Here’s another ‘gti v insert other hot hatch’ comparison with predictable results.
