I'm borrowing one at the mo... (company car before anyone asks why I'm ragging a mate's car)
It's odd getting used to a peaky NA after driving the Z and a TDI for so long... but good practice for the RX8 arriving. :D
Anyway, it's not a bad engine at all, I was pleasantly surprised - anyone know the figures? I'd guess about 150bhp but it's all power - you have to stir the gears to make progress.
Chassis is bobbins though... turn-in, what turn-in... oh right you mean you actually wanted to head into the corner then? I thought you were just turning the steering wheel for the exercise. (I expect the GTi is better because it will [i sincerely hope] have harder suspension.)
Mind you I do remember this is what put me off the Golf when I bought the Leon - I resorted to left-foot braking to have any kind of fun this morning! :rolleyes:
