gti compard to the rest of its hot hatch class....
Boothy:
I can only comment on the Civic Type-R (01-06 shape) as I used to have one before the Golf. It was a lovely motor in all honesty. It sounded well, went well and handled well when you were gunning it! The only draw backs and to me they were significant were:
RIDE: Amazing on a lovely smooth B road and a track - how often have you been on one of them!? Its was too firm and just bounced you off course unless you were at maximum attack. Also it was sh*t in the wet and had about as much traction as a dog on lino!
TYRES: It ruins the rear tyres due to the setup and well, kills the front ones too.
:happy2:

Leon Cupra is the one to go for if you want the same chassis as the golf, but cheaper and with better brakes.
S3 is the one to go for if you want 4wd to give you the extra traction and nicer interior.
Focus RS is better than all 3 but pretty dear, and a remapped ed30, cupra etc will pass a Focus RS with pure ease.
Remapped cupra ed30 is also quicker than a evo fq 330 in a straightline.

my mate has had a focus now for about a month and imo a re mapped ed 30 will struggle to keep up let alone pass it with ease !!!!!! :scared:

ed30 seems the one alot are talking about , maybe a possible upgrade in the future......i was tinking if i like the gti to go for the r32 next but it seems too much more expensive plus ed30 as you and many have said is really goood for tuning.....

r32 is slow, my standard cupra used to push my mates one down the road.
Sounds nice though.

The CTR is a cross between the gti and R26, it is more refined than the R26 but not as quick. Its quicker than a GTI though but not as refined. GTI is a great all rounder, R32 is a better al rounder but lower mpg and cost more to tune (but is more tunable than a gti if you have the money) S3 a cross between gti and R32 and so the best to tune though engine is not as nice as R32. Cupra is nice but interior and build is not as good as VW/Audi, its still good but you can see why they cost less, good second hand cars though as you get loads for your money! Not driven a R26 so cant fully comment.
Theres always the RS, Audi A3 3.2, Alfa 147 GTA, Astra VXR, Corolla VVTI etc etc
Each one has positives and flaws, there is no perfect car, just one that fits your needs.

Think you wanna get yours looked at then mate, two lads I know have one, and my revo cupra beats them pretty easy tbh, even 3 man up. They werent happy to say the least lol. This is all down a airfield though, so corners is another story. RS stays glued to the road.

very tempyed by the rs myself, the ede30 is of course awesome fun the rs just seems like a great package, and very tunible :happy2:
i know it has a chavy reputation though it is still very rare and hence always seem to admire whe I see them.
