I have watched a guy doing dohnuts on a pub carpark in an STi 5 Type R, while a bunch of kids were playing football. I have also watched a guy in a UK5 trying to overtake 4 cars in one go, and failed causing one car to ditch into a hedge just to avoid a head on collision. So i'm afraid i'm sticking to my oppinions on this one.

for most people, that's enough to make them say no.
on the other hand, the majority of people who walk into a VW showroom isn't likely to go into a Honda showroom....

With the new GTi, Its not really a game of figures. Speaking from experience on greasy wet roads, the GTi's forte is in the way it puts the power down. It may be slower in a line, and slower to 60, but around corners, its on rails and would easily trouce a Civic or Meggane. And lets face it, there arn't many roads in Britain that don't have a bend in them.
