General Comments
This is a shame as the car is good looking, lots of extras and smooth to drive. At the time of owning this car I had a standard Escort RS Turbo which walked all over the Golf. You just don't get enough from that Turbo. You want it to push you back in the seat and be aggressive and mean and make lots of noise but it's silent and you would think it was just a 1.8. The handling was comical and we decided to sell this car after my Mrs lost it going around a dry roundabout (my Mrs never drives fast). I loved the radio and the seats (interior) but with something that has GTI stamped on its ass you expect so much more performance, this car has let the GTI name down. The 16v Mark 2 GTI was the best all rounder and it's sad to say it would walk all over the Mark 4. Lets hope the Mark 5 is better. Swapped it in for an M3, now that does what it says on the boot!
