    If I recall it was XR4: A-, GTI: B+
    Right?
    Hahahahaha...sorry, I just re read the article...My bad. Lets be honest though, the Polo GTI has so much more tuneability and parts available, better build quality, and the added torque of the turbo. The handling can be easily fixed by a set of better springs and sway bars.

    Hehehehehehehe...I am pretty biased though!!

      You don't have to convince me!
      Thats why I'm in a GTI not an XR4.
      Actually... I hate the way they go on about the stripes on the XR4... I think they look crap... the GTI is subtle, I think its part of the appeal.

                    Interesting reads. Hadn't seen the one by Jeremy Clarkson before.

                    I'm really surprised that he (of all people) is so against getting more power out of the GTI.

                    I was still sitting on a 20% chance of chipping anyway. After all, I'm getting the GTI because it's exactly what I want. If I wanted more power, I would've gone with something else. That and I've got a dozen other things I'd rather spend $1700 on.

                    Yeah, think I'm going to give the chipping a miss.
