The annoying this is, punters will buy them in their droves - simply because 'it's a BMW'. Thereby perpetuating the problem.
<sigh> Matt |
I know it's depressing. Bit like the Alfa thing on Top Gear last night. Problem is people have preconceived ideas about cars and it takes a lot to change that.

Yup, plus the general populous believe everything they read and hear, for example :
1) The RS Focus has horrendous torque steer 2) 4X4 Offroaders are much safer in accidents 3) The new Golf GTi - a real drivers car 4) The new C2 GT - A 'Red Hot Rallybred supermini' 5) The BMW 1 series - Class leading Golf rival. Actually, 1) No it doesn't, it has a quaife diff that requires a little driver involvement 2) Possibly in a 'head-on' or incident involving grass, but evasive manouvres ? 3) B*ll*cks !!! 4) 0-60 in 9.5 is NOT Red Hot 5) Class leader in daring but ugly maybe !!! Oh well - just you and me then eh Chris ? ;) Matt |

Well I stand to be corrected on the just announced all new Golf GTi with the 2.0T, but I was basing that on the 1.8T I drove not too long ago. You can't seriously believe that the outgoing GTi is a real drivers car can you ? A few years ago, I still had an original 1.6GTi - now that was a fun drive ! Far removed from the anaesthetised luke warm offerings of late.
I hope the all new GTi is a return to what started it all, but somehow I suspect it won't be. Matt |
I had a 1.6 GTi many moons ago 115 bhp engine with no power steering - first decent car I owned and the only one I have ever regretted selling. Oh for that level of feedback in the Scoob, but I guess you can't have everything.
