You might think differently but we think it looks awful – less like a performance car and more like a regular Golf 1.6 with a set of aftermarket rims.

Bit harsh! :shocked:

i think they've missed the point of the car!  and they got it wrong when they said its the same unit as the standard GTI! Its got more in common with the S3 lump!

Did they actually road test the car?? or just look at it from afar??  :undecided:

I noticed a few magazine reviews made this mistake, including VW Driver IIRC!

Question "What do I get for my investment?" makes me laugh!  :laugh:

GTI is NOT an investment. It is SPENDING.

McLaren F1 is an investment, or Maserati MC12, cars like that...
WIth an investment you expect increase in value over time. Then questions like "what do I get for my investment" are not relevant, unless one talks about return and risk.

Compare to Vauxall and Leon ONLY in terms of horse power.  :rolleyes: What about handling???? GTI is bettter than both of those cars. VXR torque steers like a pig, and Leon is just soft...

Oops

You might think differently but we think it looks awful – less like a performance car and more like a regular Golf 1.6 with a set of aftermarket rims.

Let’s get straight to the point: we love the extra poke, like the leather on the seats and pretty much hate all the other changes. The problem is that the standard car is just so good that this really does feel like gilding the lilly.

With the exception to the wheels, I think the ED30 look's the business, the colour coding is what the GTi should of had all along, maybe VW were holding back to make the ED30 stand out a little more.

The tartan interior is spot on and in keeping with the cars image.  :cool:
