.... :signLOL: That made me laugh!

- Would you drive a "race spec" car as a daily to work? - Highly unlikely (though I admit I would drive that VWR race prep'd GTI which is road legal). But for most 'normal' people, no!

- Would you drive a F430 as a daily to work? - No, it's not designed for it and doesn't like traffic crawls.
If you're from the North, and have a bit of money, and just bought a cheapo-spec F430, yes*

*I know someone who's done this. This someone is a bit of a tard to be honest.

- Would you drive a RR (Rolls-Royce) as a daily to work? - Only if you wanted to 'impress' someone.

If you're Arab*. Or you just have your man drive it for you, dahling.

*I get away with saying this, kind of.

- Would you drive a Golf GTI as a daily to work? - Yes, it's a great allrounder.

The choice among those 4 is a no-brainer and nowt much to do with which is the 'better' car as they are all so different. Guess what? - We've just made a direct comparison between 4 very different cars.


Nonsense, it makes perfect sense to compare a Rolls Phantom Drophead Coupe to a Golf. They're both German, although the Golf has superior electronics. And less of a need to invade Poland.

Has anyone else been a little unimpressed with the mk6?  I love to see the R-GTI come out from VW

It will be a 32+k car with some toys no doubt. A average spec Mk6 GTi with some extra's is 28k+!!!!

I like the look of the MK6 but would not pay that sort of money for one (£28,000 with extras) :scared:

Recently got my ED30, so no expert, but the write ups seem to suggest the MK5 is a better car all together although i would like to give the MK6 a test drive to see the differance

By the way, i'm not that keen on the Focus RS if it's ok with everyone to compare it..... :happy2:

....Overall I was unimpressed but it does have some good features as well as the irritating ones. The problem is perhaps our individual expectations - Since I've been hanging out (mostly here) with GTI enthusiasts my perspective has moved towards wanting a more performance orientated car rather than a Golf with a nice badge and a bit of fancy Audi-esque trim.

Whether it's right or wrong to compare it with the RS, for a similar spend of money, at least the Ford has balls! Everybody is waiting for the R20Thingy VeeDub.

Yet again Einstein your missing the point.........the guy has 100k's worth of cars and with purchasing power to buy pretty much anything he wants to drive daily, BUT chooses to drive a Golf GTI.

i drove one couple of weeks ago. It felt alright....faster than i thought i have to say being only 207bhp or there abouts.

felt solid on the road, was comfy, quiet, and well built. i like the new dials and lighting too.

but i won't be getting one.  :drinking:

i was prolly also concentrating too much on getting to know the female sales exec in the passenger seat  :signLOL:

....There's absolutely no need to talk to me like that. You could just as easily have written "I think you are missing the point".

If you want to be unpleasant, I can be unpleasant too.
