Great review of GTi in the Free AutoTrader Ignition Magazine App. Special for Halloween mix of spine tingling Gti drive, Dracula & Whitby. Lots of video footage too. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ignition-new-interactive-publication/id568372832?mt=8&affId=2106651

I reckon tiff wanted to dissuade others from buying it so he doesn't have to wait so long.

This review focuses specifically on the PP over the stock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylROYGM-eQE

I found it a bit amateur, but the car's stunning here.

Australian comparison of the GTI v Focus ST v Megane 265

http://www.caradvice.com.au/259081/hot-hatch-comparison-vw-golf-gti-v-ford-focus-st/

FYI, the article is factually accurate - Aus standard specs differ to the UK.

Compared to UK spec, add:
- RVC
- ACC
- Discover Nav (not the Pro)

Subtract:
- Bi-xenon headlights (though the test model has them as an option)
- LED tail lights
Australian spec MY14 GTI | Pure White | Manual | Bi-Xenons as an option (vs UK: minus LED tails, plus DCC, plus RVC, plus Discover Nav).
