I’d imagine most of you have seen this by now but it’s another from Carwow which I just remembered after watching another of theirs yesterday.
8.5 GTI vs mk8 Clubby vs 7R
As usual with that lot it’s entertainment based and thin on facts but it highlights a couple of things of interest to GTI owners:
How well the smaller turbo car pulls from lower revs (and therefore more relevant to real world use) and how well the Clubsport handles (albeit the GTI is on production tyres and the Clubby wearing semi slicks on a baking hot & dry day)
