Do they rate the mkVI highly?  What's their pick for the "ultimate GTI"?

It's a touch misleading I thought as there is no review of the mk6!

They also gave the MkV 5 stars in every category and then said the Mk2 was the best. I'm not arguing, though :wink:.

am I missing something, as Gene asked for autoexpress and that was Evo, or are they one in the same now?

The Mk5 easily won overall.
But because the steering is better on the Mk2 it was placed first.

Although anyone seeing Fifthgears crash between a big old Volvo and a little modern French car (the Volvoists would be dead, the Fracophiles just fine) would be mad to drive a 1980's car.

Might buy a Mk2 myself though, just for the steering.
