I've got to be honest, if thats a LHD car it's tilted the wrong way so it's more than likely a fault with the knob and the disc on top has been put in on the piss? ???

Sounds like Tiff Needell is also down in the south of France blasting round the Paul Ricard circuit in the new GTi... I expect the 2nd round of reviews to come out soon. Wonder if they're shooting a piece for fifth gear??

Hope so, he knows his stuff. Am hoping it will be on the new series of Top Gear too, although Clarkson will say its better in every way than every other GTI but feels too safe, doesn't feel mental enough etc etc  :rolleyes:

Autocar Ford Focus ST vs Golf GTi preview

"This week Steve Sutcliffe pits the mighty Ford Focus ST against the new VW Golf GTi in a showdown designed to crown a new hot hatch champion. The verdict is as surprising for the margin of victory as the result itself!"

Wonder what that implies?

Well, it's either very close swinging in favour of the Focus ST, or the GTI beats it by a landslide!  To be honest, I care not...the ST is prettier than a normal Focus, but too much styling going on, both inside and out.  I'll take the GTI any day of the week.

The answer is in the description.

By saying the 'mighty ford focus ST...' and then saying its a surprising result implies just that. Plus Steve loved the GTI ;)

Couldn't agree more. I reckon the new GTi will obliterate the Focus ST... I use to own a ST and it was a wonderfully balanced car with enormous power!!! (Especially with the Superchips Bluefin installed).  Biggest problem was the massive torque steer!!! You were constantly fighting the steering wheel which made it quite a handful.  With 247bhp!!!! in the latest Focus ST I can see that torque steer will be an even bigger problem!!! Hence why the GTi will win the test!!! (I hope)

That's how I kinda' read it.  But, if the verdict is as surprising as the margin of victory, that throws me.  The GTI winning is not surprising.  Anyways, time will tell :)

The Gti has less horsepower so the surprise is that it beats it!
