“Superb engine in the GTI”. There is NOTHING special about the GTI engine.VW don’t really make engines because they use hand-me-downs from the AUDI group.
The Subaru has been let down by poor/soft chassis dynamics.
The 2009 WRX will certainly make the GTI look pedestrian.In terms of torque,the GTI competitors all have more torque and power and the manual GTI has always been last in performance reviews, but first for it’s interior touchy-feely soft rubbers and plastics-you know,it’s what GTI owners regard as the most important attributes of a hot hatch.

It’s that frigging superb engine in the GTI that shits on the Subaru boxer; there’s torque everywhere in the rev band, ie. 280Nm flat from 1800 to 5000 rpm. Let’s see subaru design a masterpiece like that!

SteveR32. I don’t know how you could say the R32 Golf has a “supple ride” the suspension is alot harsher than the new STi and the noise in cabin is terrible!

I reckon we should all chip in and give him some wider tyres to put on his 1976model Toyota Corolla.

It’s funny, Naughtyius. Some people spend all day quoting from lists, surveys and charts, yet can’t accept test results. I know. I know. It’s weird.
