Another reviewer that knows nothing about the car, the last reviewer from autocar didnt like the ride height but didnt know it can be adjusted and this reviewer doesnt know anything about the spec of the car, and has quoted the concept spec.

I mean come on, how hard can it be to be a little more accurate, how can I take anything else they say seriously.

Do they have any other criticism's other than lack of power which can be sorted with an engine remap?

When the press review new cars they also compare them to the wrong type of cars. In that Autoexpress report it compares the GTi to the Focus ST and Megane, but the power of the Megane at least is knocking on the door of the R32. Bit unfair really!!

VW will sell shed loads of the GTi regardless of how good or bad it is!

Personaly, I like it. Can't wait to see one in the flesh. Supposedly around June time  :wink:

The most interesting car in Autocar is the Tata Nano.
It should appeal to the ED30 chaps with fully painted bumpers and skirts.
At £1700 new it confirms Tata as one of the great car makers (they also make Clarksons best car in the world, the Range Rover)

Very weak effort.
Do I have to wait until the first mk6 GTI are delivered before receiving my winnings?
