nbetts Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I have a 996TT X50 and it is clearly in a whole different performance league - but I still think the GTi is a great hoot... even if it is about half the speed... It is everything a hot hatch should be and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 When I had an Impreza, my more interesting little duels were almost always with supposedly lesser cars that happened to be driven by better, or local, drivers. I seriously struggled to keep pace with a beat up 8 year old 1.8 Mondeo once. These days, with so many torquey diesels about and alot of mid-range petrol units pushing out 180bhp or so, the outright real world performance differential isn't that great. The real advantage of the GTI (and most other well set up hot hatches) comes when things get twisty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
