LEGEND IS BACK,BY BY FOCUS RS AND R26R

Wads 1 year ago
You think a new Golf GTi can compete with a new Focus RS or R26R????? Not a hope in hell!

Georg 1 year ago
The GTI is not build to compete with RS or R26.R... first it is much cheaper than both and second VW did not jumpin the hothatch hp war with the GTI because they want a usefull cheap to own hatchback... nither the RS or R26.R is cheap or practical

But there will be a "hotter" ~270 hp version of Golf 6 or was it just me dreaming?

Georg 1 year ago
yes it will be based on the Audi S3...

In reality it looks very well. I work for VW, and this engine is the same as in the Scirocco and Passat CC. The EA888. Nothing, i mean nothing changed. No 10hp more, or faster acceleration. Same as the Scirocco (tested both of them).This new EA888 (based on the old 2 litre GTI mk5) it's a little more diesel like. Still is the best hot hatch money can buy.

Golf gti has now fallen back to the rear of the hot hatch q.
its now sedate, boring and not at all very quick-older hot hatches like the focus st and vxr are alot quicker and a hell of a lot cheaper.
the previous car was better, this is definately a step backwards, anybody remeber the 110bhp "GTI"-VW seem to be going back in that direction.what a shame.

Georg 7 months ago
anonymous the GTI is still one of the fastest payable hothatches and it isn´t VW´s top hothatch... compared to the new Focus RS and otherit is much cheaper to buy and much cheaper to run...
If you want a fast hot hatch from VW you have to buy the R32 or the coming R models from Golf and Scirocco

Georg, how is the gti one of the fastest? theres a huge list of cheaper, faster and better looking hot hatches? the focus rs along with the r26r is in a league comprable to the imprezas and evos of this world,,plus, spec up a gti and you will easily be knocking on 25k. its overpriced for what it is and is not competing anymore with its rivals (focus st-quicker/cheaper astra vxr-quicker/cheaper mazda3 mps-quicker/cheaper honda civic type r-quicker/cheaper) whats the point of this gti if its not going to progress from the last one? 0-62 in 7 secs just isnt going to cut it anymore.

Georg,

It's funny how you take only values backing your claims:

GTI 0-100mph 15.4a
Type R 0-100mph 15.9s

Why not take the 0-60mph times then? (GTI 6.9s vs CTR 6.76s)

My point is not that CTR is better, it's that all those numbers say crap except they're in the same league. As an enthusiast what I value though is the amount of fun I have with a car, and in that respect the GTI lost a lot of its sporty spirit. Driving the GTI just feels so sedated whereas mastering the CTR is just infinitely more rewarding.

LoL. How dare he use facts to support his opinion!

The "amount of fun" you have driving a car differs from person to person.

Since they are all so close in performance and price, it all comes down to personal opinion.

Anon,

That's precisely the point I'm trying to make.

Georg 6 months ago
you can´t clock fun... and the question was which is quicker, cheaper, faster on the track...and thats clearly the GTI...

Anonymous 6 months ago

That's precisely the point I'm trying to make.



But the point Georg was trying to make was to refute the comment (from another Anon) that stated "Golf gti has now fallen back to the rear of the hot hatch q.
its now sedate, boring and not at all very quick-older hot hatches like the focus st and vxr are alot quicker and a hell of a lot cheaper."


Georg then stated that "the GTI is still one of the fastest payable hothatches " and he provided stats to back his claim.

this gti is still more money and slower on paper than its main rivals.

This is a good looking car, there is nothing to complain about.
