The new Golf R 20 Years edition

[P6GTD]

Hyundai i10. 0-60 14.9 seconds.
What a death trap. Should carry a higher insurance group.
One reason I love my car is for its towering overtaking ability. Safest car I have ever driven.
And one of the reasons Mrs P is happy to remain my passenger in life.

That's pretty rapid compared with my OH's Lupo! (17+ seconds when new, 20 years later, who knows....).

Try overtaking Ida in her i10 on the roads where I live and you’ll either end up in a hedge or decorating the front of Gethin’s camper van coming the other way.

Mums got an i10 - cracking little motor. Don't know what the 0-60 time is but alot quicker than 14.9.

I was just repeating what it said on the link posted earlier about the acceleration times for the i10. Not saying it isn’t a good wee driver.  Didn’t make up the info.
 
Perhaps I am spoiled living in Perthshire with more brilliant driving routes than hours to drive them.
Anyway, there is more to owning a performance car than figures as I guess most GTI owners would agree.

I’ll get my coat ….

Small, modestly powered cars often feel more fun to drive because they feel faster and you can drive them pretty hard without too many consequences.

But if you only have access to one car (like me), what are you going to want? Answer is a quick but compact quality motor. What might that be I wonder?

Yes a Porsche 911 really is the best compact quality motor, but a modestly powered golf will do for now

That's exactly what makes the Up GTI a cracking little car to drive.

I’ve always regretted not taking one of those for a spin.
