4.5 for the 128ti. 4 for Gti. “128ti...fun to drive. Gti.....expensive and lacks the outright focus of rivals.....even if you put the Gti in Sport which is Number 11 in the settings menu (I kid you not)” I am now biased, after all observations on this forum I went for the 128ti and I am very pleased.
thanks
About what we’d expect for the result then.
I quite agree and can relate to your thoughts on spec for the 128ti, no point loading it with extras only to find the cost brings it into 135i territory, just enjoy it as a fun car that has decent spec as standard.
Something I did notice on my 135i was that the driving modes were more of a stepped thing where the Golf was far more subtle in that area.
Being as the 128ti is a Mini of sorts you’d expect and hope it would be sharp and fun to drive.
Horses for courses and all that but I reckon the 128ti will deservedly be a popular car.
