Little forgotten about group test with the competition....  :smiley:

I read this review before I bought my GTI, GTI owners don't buy them because they are the quickest 'hot hatch' out there we buy them because they do everything well.

Imagine what they would have said about a fat @ssed R32 against that competition  :laugh:

They probably would have said its quicker, better put together, more reliable engine, doesnt understeer, sounds better, and is now available starting from around £10k so save your pennies  :grin: :evil:

Ive read that review from Evo mag but I've also read the next link from the same mag saying different things.

Its all down to the writers/drivers opinion of course and also the reviewers sensitivity to a cars driving experience. I for example have never felt the famous lack of brake feel in audis and Vw. That's why they review cars. Must be a pain in the arse being a car reviewer when buying cars because you would want the awsome megane but would buy the golf that drives like sh!t. I'm comfortable numb.

What if One car has sh!tty non grippy p zeros and one has conti 3's that's enough to be the make or break.

What I'm saying is each to there own car reviews rant gospel, good or bad.

By the way I had an r32 For 3 years(and an a3 3.2) and it's was a great car, but It did need 50hp more to justify the rubbish mpg. But what a noise strange they don't make them any more, stupid environment.
I don't believe in global warming, sorry.
How are speed bumps legal?
I dislike lorry drivers who block lanes in traffic.

You can certainly order a GTI with the optional Glendale alloys on now. This one was at my local dealership  :wink:

Surely it's not just me that thinks they look like Ripspeed specials? I thought Bilbao's for the GT were bad, but these are something else.
