Still miss my GTI

Nice car and in fantastic condition, but it needs another 60-80hp (k04 should do it probably) as its a bit slow.

Agree, that's where a 6C GTI is so much better. More power everwhere, even with an IS12. Tuned to Stg 2 the IS12 is super aggressive (a LOT more so than a Stg 2 9N3), I'm looking forward to finding out how wild the 6C will be with an IS20.

With an IS20 id say it will be perfect. Not too much power that its silly and overpowers the tyres all the time, but also the turbo wont come on as instantly and as early as the tiny IS12 so it will be better to drive id say.

When I got my little Fiesta ST I was also considering the Polo GTI (about 2015-2016 model with 1.8TSI) but there were none anywhere near me for sale with a manual gearbox. Id like to compare the two in terms of engine/gearbox and how they drive.
