Oh yeah and in response to the side by side road test, I was impressed with the new GTI. It finally feels like a proper hot hatch, but the ride quality is needlessly firm. Ford got the Fiesta ST spot on in that respect.

Everyone raves about the fiesta ST, but at the end of the day, regardless what it drives like, it's a Ford Fiesta! I had a MK3 Fiesta XR2i (ashamed to say!, don't know what I was thinking!) and it drove great but was 11 years old and despite how good it looked on outside, underneath it dropped apart!

I am a biast a VW fan! lOL

Looks absolutely stunning, love the pin stripe through the headlights like on the golf mk7 and the new bumpers look ten times sportier, I thought the prefacelift gti looked pretty standard bar badges and tailpipe. Love the diffuser and skirts too

looks awesome! one of the nicest hot hatches about and been made imo. thinking of getting one myself afer my 6n2

Should I take the bonnet bra off?

Think it looks cool but all bonnet bras are a bit marmite, if the comment about knacking paint is true I would remove it

When I had my first car (corsa, yes I know ) I had a bonnet bra on, when I took it off a year later the entire front of my bonnet was rusting and paint peeling off where it had held all the water in. I wouldn't run one ever again but your choice

That's probably the horror story I'm talking about :P

Absolutely loving that red golf, I don't know why I'm so drawn to it, it's fucking ace!
