The current generation cars are all so well developed that none of them feel as fast as they actually are.
I had to modify my R just to give it some kick. Nor for the extra speed, just for a bit of extra feel as the car catapults forwards.
The only downside of that is to get your kicks you're having to do speeds that aren't really recommended on UK roads.
The cars are just becoming too good.
a faster car isn't always the more fun car.
Such a shame they don't do a GTD 4Motion as that would be a useful bit of kit and with a tuning box its performance and boot up the butt from all that mid-range torque could be great USEABLE fun.
I love Sciroccos still, hinge bumps and all.
The styling quirks just add character.
The only reason I've never had one is my piddly garage wouldn't accommodate the fat derrière or long doors. I'd have to exit Dukes of Hazzard style.
I borrowed a TDI Scirocco when I had my mk7 GTI PP and although not as dynamically sharp in some circumstances the handling of the 'Rocco is still very very good. It's not a night and day difference like a mk4 and mk5 GTI.
