Well here it is

Saw some R's today at GTI International, not impressed  GTI looks much much better imo

Hope you had a good time.

I do prefer the overall look of the GTi and its more practical boot. But most important it's superior fuel consumption makes it my preferred choice for a performance petrol car.

Some how i notched up 44.2 MPG today getting into work (A roads). I'm taking it easy during the early phase of running in (70 miles done), but this is incredible!!!!

I take it, it'll only get better as the engine loosens up?

Who needs the GTD hey............... (heads for cover!)

Great car I have got the same (only 4-door)...

Treat yourself with the led-rears.....that makes it even further standing out from the mass....and remap the devil....you really end up with a affordable sportscar 

Even today I shattered the dream of a "Red Pimped Loud and Big Exhaust Mazda Something" next to me at the lights....come on the driver really must like to be humiliated....

Now I come to think of it maybe I start a topic...ALL The Cars We Beat Today With Our (remapped or standard) GTI ......okay and R..

Thats very good economy however try getting 62mpg on a A road 70 mile trip : )

I could get 44mpg red lining it in every gear.

Lovely car though mate Carbon grey is the dogs ...............

I drove it about 30miles, what a chore that was. Felt like I was towing another car.. until I drove the VW Fox courtesy car!! How slow and poor is that car!!

Good to remind yourself how things used to be though...

I kid you not I was driving a (new) loan car VW Golf 1.4 without any gadgets etc etc for a day....I really and honestly thought the car was wrong/broken down/full of faults..

.......steering was something like... I will end up approx there........braking was like taking a gamble....hitting the gas is waiting for something, that actually will never happen.....it makes you realise what a beauty of engineering the GTI is...
