Funnily enough I have an OTA update message flashing up at me right now.
I actually got round to watching Johnny CarPervert’s review of the mk8 GTI today.
Although it was quite a gloss over compared to Thomas’s I enjoyed it far more. He summed it up well. It basically sounds like the mk8 GTI has inherited the TCR chassis tweaks including the aluminium subframe with a few added electronic trickery to further sharpen the car in full on Sport mode.
I just hope all this Nurburgring development isn’t going to be at the expense of shock absorption on crappy British tarmac.
It’s good to see the car in a Watts approved spec:
Red
19’s
Manual
And the nearest VW do to a 3 door - which is 5 doors!
I’ll get round to watching Thomas’s GTE review and Volkswizard’s A3 vid sooner or later.
