Rather glowing review from the states - "the original, and still the best"

I have to say, this article is written as though they tested the non-PP version but the photos are clearly of a PP version (i can see the calipers).

This looks like the same red car with 19s and DSG that the other US review claimed was the only MK7 GTI on US soil. Therefore I think they've unknowingly tested the PP version thinking it didn't have the brakes or the diff... Awkward

I hope it isn't right and they genuinely did test the normal car; we can't have the PP in a manual in Australia (because VWA are idiots) so I've had to go without
Australian spec MY14 GTI | Pure White | Manual | Bi-Xenons as an option (vs UK: minus LED tails, plus DCC, plus RVC, plus Discover Nav).
