Good Points: Refinement, Dashboard, Style, Performance, Gearbox, Ride quality, Build quality, Interior.
Bad Points: Tends to lean a little too much on corners. Leather standard seats not wearing fantastically well.
General comments: I've been driving my Volkswagen Golf GTI 1.8T as a company car and have been very impressed with it. It feels great to drive, with fantastic gearshift, eager engine and superb brakes.
The VW engine is very refined and makes great noises when pushed hard. Noise supression of the chassis is great for a smaller car like the Golf.
The interior of the car is brilliantly concieved (considering the Golf Mk4's age) and is bolted together very well. The plastics are high quality, and everything is finished well. The blue dashboard lights finish it all off well!
I don't care what anyone says, a Leon is a false economy (nasty door trims for a start!!!) and the A3 is lovely, but just too dull and overpriced.
Enjoy your Golf GTI Turbo!
