I appreciate the PP is a great car. Can the 'exhaust noise' that's piped into the cabin be turned off? Isn't the ride a bit trashier than the standard GTI?
The soundaktor noise is the same in both, essentially the GTi and pp GTi are exactly the same apart from the pp gets bigger brakes all round, has the LSD and 10bhp more. Everything else is exactly the same.
McMaddy has it spot on there.
The Clubsport is different again.
It’s fractionally noisier under full acceleration and has harsher springs.
It’s thirstier and more to insure (fractionally)
The GTI and PP are very sanitised and the soundaktor can be switched down or switched out.
It actually sounds ok on Eco with other settings put into Sport or Normal.
