Just driven the new GTI, thanks to my job as Editor of
Volkswagen Driver mag
International press launch was at the Paul Ricard
circuit in south of France on Thursday/Friday last
week
Weather was atrocious (pouring rain) but car still
VERY impressive
Pulls strongly and smoothly, makes a lovely
induction / exhaust note, and handles brilliantly ?
was squealing the tyres even on a rain-soaked track
and I only spun it once, when the ESP was switched
off!
Made my modified Mk 4 1.8T feel distinctly lame as I
drove home from Stansted on Friday night
Full report in the December issue of Volkswagen
