unless u have a nice v6  or v8 engine how can you not have turbo power in you life?? if you dnt buy a turbo cuz you worry about economy buy a diesel not a n/a. i owned a civic type r a few year back thats n/a and 197 bhp and revs its threpny bits off but it dnt have same affect or feel to a nice tuned turbo lump. good boost turbo spooling up ,brillaint sound.

i have a 1.8n/a and tbh it does it for me, i bout it as a first car so only things i had to compare it to was 1.2 corsas and the likes ide driven when i was learning. its not the fastest car but it gets me from a-b and its faster than a lot of my mates cars.

though i can see myself wanting more power  soon so when my insurance runs out in 6 or 7 months a 1.8t might be on the cards depending on insurnace.

i think what everyone finds is that once you get used to the quickness you get bored and want more power. even people who own ferrari's want a quicker one. its like riding a motorbike for the first time at first you sh!t yourself then suddenly 70mph feels like walking pace.i think you for first car are sensible to go n/a for your insurance and like you said anything is better and will feel powerful over a 1.0 or 1.2 . but as soon as you can afford to go turbo mate especially if its golf ownership.

Ive gotta say, I was left alone with the car on Wednesday and gave it a right good thrashing took it for a nice long drive - I think I have changed my mind about it. Its still not as responsive as the mk3 but as long as you keep it above 4k then it does have some 'go' in it. Probably not quite deserving of the gti badge but still, there is entertainment to be had.
