Think this sounds like the best shout then. I'd take a Golf over an A3 purely because I prefer the way the Golf's look. A 1 Series could be good fun, and they can look really nice when styled properly.

it's got the right amount of doors, but does it have the right gearbox?

get it remapped ASAP and your finally own a fast VW  :laugh:

it most defo needs a map... there is no way this thing is quicker than an R32 (in the right hands) but it is a nice drive. Enjoying it without the turbo kicking in and trying to kill me (mps + revo style)  :evil:

apart from that.. its nice to be back in a german car. I doubt i will ever go jap again  :lipsrsealed:
