Ill have a bit of a think and see if I can string a coherant "review" of sorts together as a comparison to my Gti.
Leave it with me and see if I can come up with some thing worth reading!
just wing it!
Can’t be worse than some of the crap I’ve posted up over the years!
Features you prefer in one car and things you prefer in the other.
Some of the nice little touches you’ve noticed.
Any minor gripes.
How the engine, gearbox and suspension compare...
Doesn’t have to be written like a professional journalist, it’s always nice to read real owners thoughts in their own words.
A few standout things I remember from my test drive were along the lines of how rigid the shell felt which I only really appreciated when I jumped back into my CS and drove the same road again straight afterwards.
The solidity of the cabin plastics.
The Soundaktor sounded far better than the Golf one.
The exhaust pops made me smile on startup, thankfully absent on the move though. (Not thst I’ve got anything against exhaust snap crackle and pop as it can be very amusing, I’m just getting a bit old for all that)
Oh, and how darned good the rear end looked up close in the flesh.
