    They are nowhere as good as the 2l Golf gti, they do not have a linear acceleration but they are an interesting concept.

    Our Japanese friends have been turbo charging small capacity engines for years and I think VAG motors have a lot to learn from them.

    it's a 1.4..what do you expect and its one of the best 1.4s on the road. I hear they are a great lttle machine. You cant compare it with the 2L lump.

    Horses for courses.

    I got one of these a few weeks ago. It was a toss up between this car and a three year old GTI. In the end I went for the GT because it is almost as fast as the GTI and much cheaper on tax and insurance. I find there is plenty of power, especially at low rpm where you need it. Its also quite economical if you don't sink the wellie - I regularly get 40+ mpg on the motorway. I know I've only had it a few weeks but I'm not regretting my decision yet !
