Mk2 Golf GTI 16V overtaken by 1.0 VVT-i Toyota Yaris Disgrace
« on: 29 September 2011, 22:06 »
I'm still shocked by this, but tootling along in Sheffield this morning doing a nice 32mph in a 30mph zone, I got overtaken on a narrow single carriageway by a 1 litre Yaris going up a hill. I was so shocked at the lack of respect shown to the Golf that I let them go by whilst waving to me as they sailed past!

If I was driving an 8-valver then maybe I could have understood them fancying a pop, but a 16-valver? WTF were they thinking???

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Just goes to show, a yaris doing 40mph is quicker than a golf traveling at 32mph.

Im always a little upset when other road users so much as get im my way when driving my mk2. RESPECT YOUR ELDERS.

Quite clearly that Yaris is better than your Golf.

Old tho aint they... most people probably just see it as an old box shaped car so assume its slow  :lipsrsealed:

If they were quicker i'd defintely have a saloon one  :lipsrsealed:
