gti compard to the rest of its hot hatch class....
Hurdy:
I have to agree with RobH. The TFSI engine VAG hatches with the K04 are the ones to go for.
Just be aware that you can spend an inordinate amount of money on modifying them....
Brakes at £2k
Suspension at £2k
Intake at £300
HPFP at up to £700
Remap at £500
Exhaust at up to £1.3k
Larger intercooler at £500
Wheels/tyre upgrades at £1k to £XXXX
Quaife diff at £1.5k fitted
Add just that little lot up and you get the picture, however an ED30 with those mods would see just about anything off this side of a tuned Porsche :happy2:

....Plenty of challenges. I don't respond and would advise anyone else not to.

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.

But a remapped RS and FQ330 would be quicker than a mapped ed30, cupra so no point in comparing :stupid:

after looking at the r26 myself before going for the golf, apart from the only colour available seeming to be asbo yellow at the moment they dont quite meet the image of a golf gti.
i loved the seats in the r26, it has a LSD, after a map its 260bhp, xenon's are standard, along with cruise control AND its cheaper. But when you down the pub explaining this you feel like....had i bought the golf all i would have needed to say is, yea i drive a gti. :signLOL:

Ehhh yes there is
Brand New Leon Cupra 18k.
Brand new Focus RS 25K
Brand new Evo FQ 30K.
So for 18,500 pounds you can get a car thats quicker than the two above with alot of spare change. Hell lets say another 5k on top for stage 2 plus spec and a diff and you have a car that will annilathe the evo and the rs and it will still be 2 grand cheaper than he focus.
So far as im considered you can compare them, especially seeing as the Evo and RS both top out at 380hp on the standard turbo but weight alot more though.
So a stage 2 plus cupra/ed3 will just be as quick as a stage 2 evo or rs.
