Great cars

I had a MkV 140bhp 4 Motion for 3 years. They are GT spec so have all the usual spec. 45 mpg all day long and an excellent cruiser.

I used to love doing full bore standing starts in the rain to see what it could do. No wheel spin, it just goes. Strange sensation as the front rises and the power is fed to the rear tyres.

First gear is very short though.

In the snow it was brilliant as well.

Only cons would be that it was no sports car, more of a luke warm hatch.

Even with the 4 motion it won't see where the golf gti went.

Thanks for that.
I own a vw bora tdi with custom darkside map I want something
Slightly newer and fancy bigger turbo set up at some point and thought that would
Be a better car to do it on?
