ahh right then from a bus to a gti is a big step  :tongue:

Overall I think the car is great, but it does lack in performance quite a lot.

Its fun around town, but not something for a drag race, lets be honest.

But its a GTI just the same. So cant complain now can we.

sure enough mk3 is nippy around town but thats about it. Lets be honest, as much as I love my gti i do admit it lack alot of performance. I mean, a 1.25l mk6 fiesta doesnt come far behind me.......

I did upgrade from a 1.4, and although it is quicker! its nothing to shout about at all. yes its only 115bhp so i knew i wasnt geting a quick car, i got it because its the car i wanted regardless of the speed it has! unfortunatly i have the pleasure of driving 150bh plus at work which makes it seem woefully inadequate
