Fifth Gear show
« on: 21 May 2007, 21:01 »
Did anyone see the program tonight, hot hatch review, nice to see the GTi come in 1st place!! beating the Focus ST just!!!  round the track by just 1 and a half seconds!!.  Tiff niddell behind the wheel giving both cars serious stick. I thought it was ment to be alot quicker then the standard Gti as that was already faster the the Focus sanitary towel. Doesnt say much for track manners of the Edition 30  comparing the older GTi model :huh:

I'm ashamed to admit that I actually took a test drive in one :embarassed:

The good news is that I thought it was overweight, comparatively slow and cheap and tacky internally
