Will probably get abused for this statement but for me the bmw is a better looking car than the golf, its the one i would have.

Is it legal to race each other in the Isle of Man?

On a bike, yes.  :innocent:

Its a box of electrical trickery, so probably not.

I thought the performance pack gave you a proper diff and bigger brakes.  :surprised:

I thought it was a full mechanical diff? Must've picked up some misinformation somewhere. :confused:

Have a feeling that A45 is still going to have the legs on the RS3.. be an interesting battle.., off the public highway obviously.
It did properly dust the MK7 GTI didn't it, lol, to be expected with an extra 130hp though hey! :rolleye:

I get that the Merc is awesome, but I can't help but think it is very highly strung already, so hopes of X% increases may be a bit moon on a stick? It'll be interesting to see how it compares to the flagship models, RS3/1M. They praise the ride, every other mag slates it, trying to be the 'contrary' review or just reviewed by a clown??

M135i has won how may awards now??

Odd review being a big mix of ?WD and class of car. Interesting though. I do like the Golf a lot.

Think I prefer my MKVI Golf R at stage 2+ ......although a Golf R ain't exactly cheap yet either.

The MK7 Performance pack is a real Mechanical Diff.

Bit of a mismatch and not too sure why they didn't pitch the new S3 in there instead?!?!  :confused: Worth a watch though and a surprise result..  :surprised:
