Gemmzl Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hi all, I'm still doing research into my next car. I'm looking for the Fifth gear video of the golf GTi. I was interested to see how much slower the GTi was than the R32 around the 5th gear test track. I've found the R32 video on You Tube but struggling to find the GTi. I'm sure i saw it on tv once??? Can anyone help? Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I can't recall the 5th Gear vid but in this months Evo mag, there is a page of stats where they have tested various cars around Bedford Autodrome. GTI got round in 1:35.75 and hit a top speed of 97.4mph R32 got round in 1:32.55 and hit a high of 99.7mph The S3 beats both at 1:30.40 and hit a high of 104.1mph. (interesting given some harsh reviews by some mags) The thing is, all these cars are likely to perform very differently on roads with the varying surfaces.

Gemmzl Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Thanks TT for the quick reply. Out of interest did they test the Edt 30? (that's the one i'm interested in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 It doesn't appear so. There was a very good GTI comparison in a VW Driver managzine about 3-4 months ago. It covered both Ed30 & standard GTI's, 3 door / 5 door and DSG / non-DSG. I'm not certain but I think it also compared against R32's. It made interesting reading at the time - particularly if you like comparing stats. It showed in-gear performance for every model too. Might be worth getting a back copy.

Gemmzl Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Ah yes, seen them on you tube. It's not the track at 5th gear, i was hoping for the test at their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
