I use a 13 year old Ibiza GTI as my daily driver so my Golf always feels quick when I use it. However the road feel is much better in the older car.
Get hold of a Sprint Booster, really gives the re-map a kick. I was a bit dubious before getting mine despite having tried one on another car, but it just wakes the darn car up.
Another thing to watch is the ECU adapts to driving style even when you're remapped, and as you don't drive at full throttle most of the time (unless you're nuts) the ECU will gradually lean the car off to bias the mapping towards low emissions and better fuel economy. So once in a while you need to take the car back to standard and put the mapping back on again fresh a few days later so it is back to optimum.
