Golf R -v- Golf GTI

[triode12]

I'm going to send a PM to someone about how offensive I found your post.

You might want to think about that for a minute.

I'm shaking in my shoes while deep in thought...for a minute...

Where has all the love gone?

[dave_r]

Really? You got PMs from other people over a pretty meaningless comment over wheels?

Mate I've had people PM me for using the word retard here before. Its ****ed.

Auto Express U.K. - Hot Hatch of the Year 2011

Speaking of feeling: autoexpress.co.uk have voted the standard Golf GTI hot-hatch of 2011. The ED35 GTI is referred to in this video review as is the different in the power delivery between the EA888 motor and older EA113 motor. No mention of the Golf R.

That would be because the R is overpriced in the UK.

More expensive than the S3 etc etc

I would not own one there.

POCTY 2011: autocar.co.uk

autocar.co.uk performance car of the year has 20 contestents incuding the Golf R. PCOTY 2011 is not about bang for your buck as the winner was the Ferrari 458 Italia.

The Golf R came in at 14th - see it at the 3 min mark on the video.
The Renault Megane RS250 managed 9th overall - see it at the 4.30min mark.
The Peugot RC-Z beat them both for driver appeal with 4th place overall.

Maybe we have to draw a distinction between a fast-hatch (Megane RS250, Golf R, Subaru WRX STI) and a hot-hatch (Golf GTI, Focus ST, etc).

The last few pages are a pisser! Too funny.

There are going to be people that like your wheels, there are going to be people that don't like your wheels. Can't please everyone.
As long as your happy with your choice, who gives a fcuk what others think.
