Cripes , that certainly isn't a good advert for the golf.

 

Only had a Scooby for a year ( 94 sti )

. I suspect you've got to be at 8\10ths and plenty road space to actually have FUN with 4wd anyway .

 

Or the oxygen sensor shimmed.

 

Don’t get me wrong. The Golf is very good.

It’s just that like some others on here, with an old Subaru on hand for back to back comparison, I just don’t see it as the thrill-a-minute weekend toy.

But when I’m on a 400+ mile round trip to London down the M4 and round the M25 and back same day, it’s Golf R, every time.

Horses, courses…

 

Still had problems with the supplied "spacer" that places the post cat sensor out of the main gas flow.

Same problem with a Ed35, also gave some very screwed up values in regards to the sensor ageing measuring blocks.

Older GTi no issues, no spacer required either

 

Have had a DSG blue 2016 R for about a month.

Blimey it's fast Even compared to my previous "fast" cars, e92 M3, Sti 7 and Evo 6.
If you are considering one well worth going for a test drive!
So nice inside, just needs a bit more real noise...

Cheers

Let down by those absolutely hideous poverty-spec alloys. God they're horrid lol.
