New review (I think!)

http://www.topgear.com/uk/volkswagen/golf-gti/road-test/driven

Still goes on about the Performance Pack like its sent from God. Why don't they just review the base GTI for what it is. Getting really pissed off by these reviews now. And before you get on my back, I've no issue with the PP upgrade. Is it too much to ask these journalists to simply review the actual car they're driving. Lazy, lazy, lazy :whistle:
Current: BMW M140i / ZF8 / 5 DR

Not exactly a review but the GTI is on the MSN best cars of the year list:

Good to see a close up of one with a sunroof.

Also, those front brake discs definately fill the wheels better on the PP model..

R8 vs. GTI
« Reply #386 on: 09 July 2013, 09:20 »
Insane but intriguing video comparison test of an Audi R8 Plus and a Mk 7 with the PP here. Unfortunately the audio is all in German with no subtitles (despite the misleading use of an English title and description - the old bait and switch). Anyone care to offer a summary?

Well it basically starts out with them saying that obviously the R8 will win, yet because of the corners will it?  Then I got bored and turned it off.

For every 1 English review there seem to be 10 German ones.  I thought we'd had this argument and everyone agreed English was the way to go? :evil:

I watched some of it simply to hear that incredible Audi V10 engine, the only cars that sound better are the Carrera GT and the LFA.
