Performance Pack or Not? Have you?
« on: 22 April 2013, 08:39 »
Who's orderded the Performance Pack on thier GTi?

Its the one option I don't know if I should add or not.

The latest Autocar review says its good, but not sure they have compared it to a car without.

I ordered it, not because I really wanted it - but because I didn't want to feel like I didn't have it!

I'm going to own the car for at least 3 years, and I couldn't cope with three years of feeling like I might be missing out on something.

I also drive relatively sensibly most of the time in straight lines, but like to hammer it round corners and I think the diff should make a diff!

I have ordered it. I just thought unlike a cup holder or a leather seat this could make a big difference to the way the car drives, and therefore I though it was worth it. The reviews are backing this up (so far!)

I've ordered it.  Since changed the colour to carbon grey also. 
I feel the price is good value and based on reviews my thoughts may be justified.

I have gone for it as well 
 I have always thought the brakes on the GTi have been not as good as they should be
The bigger discs will help with this. I hope !

It's a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.
The 'diff alone would cost more to fit, the uprated brakes are a bonus and the extra power just the icing on the cake.
