I used to get more comments about the Pug GTi, to be honest. Several offers to buy it. Including the guy who runs the car wash/valet place I used to to take it. Then when I went back there recently with the Golf (I've moved house since), he recognised me and was really disappointed when I confessed I'd fed the Pug to the scrappage scheme.
He did admire the MkVI a lot though, after he'd got over his disappointment.
