Only 184 bhp on a car as heavy as a Golf just doesn't seem powerful enough.
Why so Robin?
Your MK5 was originally 200Bhp and this new platform is approx 100Kg lighter than the Mk5/6 version with only a 16Bhp deficit so i'd imagine the performance to be almost identical to that of a MK5 gti, which was powerful enough for you to buy one..
....Thanks Beddie and Gray
- I didn't know that the Mk7 was ~100kg lighter, probably because I'm not interested in buying one and so haven't checked it out in that much detail.
Like neg, I'm a hardwired petrolhead - I've been around petrol race cars since I was 13yo and that's over 50 years ago. It's in my blood, I can't help it!
