Its good to ask peoples opinions though, its alright asking a garage but no two garages will be the same...
If he was in Glasgow i could recommend/guarntee about 6 garages that wouldnt rip you off because of the experiences ive had with them.
LoL @ self respecting GTi owner...:)
To put into perspective there very well matched even if the GTi is heavier!
The Ed30 on the other hand, that is a very, very quick hatch! I got my arse handed to me on a plate by one of them, seriously fast!
IMO i was more impressed with that than the R32??
Absolutley mate but then with the right driver and the right tyres from a standing start i reckon my phase 1 (163bhp/ton) would have it, half a car length atleast, i may be wrong but im speaking from general experience.
Im not saying its slow, far from it, i just think the phase 1 is quicker.
Atleast the ones ive had a blast with, this again could be down to poor tyres and driver error/mis-shift if you will...!
Each to there own though, 197bhp @ 1328kg's isnt exactly eye watering is it though?
I disagree with the Golf GTi not being compatible with a 172.
The golf weighs 1328kg's and has 150bhp/ton , you could sit and talk about torque all day but then how often are you going to be racing between 95-130?
Personally ive had numerous run ins with Golf GTi's and found them very un...
They shouldn't be commanding any more of a premium matey, BBS rims and leather interior..!
I love the colour but personally I'd be looing for a normal Phase 1 if the right one doesn't come up..!
On sporting roads, when given it's head in acceleration, the Cup model is a riot, but the suspension isn't all that harsh, and even though Renaultsport has deliberately fitted not just low-profile tyres, but tyres "of an extra-stiff structure", the ride quality is pretty fair, all things considered.
I really cant see 198bhp from a 1.2 tce if i am infact reading this right.
In all honesty by the time you have done compromising reliability ir whats left of it you will wish you just bought a Subaru Impreza and saved yourself the hastle
