Your Dad drives a Leon? Cool dude!polo1.8t wrote:I have to disagree. I recently drove a Golf GTi and I was very very impressed. I thought it would feel heavy and too wide, as I've heard reports. However, the feel of the car soon very much compared to the Polo, didn't feel much wider, no more heavier & far nicer to drive. The suspension was perfect, bumps/imperfections were easily gotten rid of, through bends it remained composed! Infact I'm so impressed I've added it to my list of "next cars"
I like the Leon Cupra myself. My dad's TDI drives so well, feels like it's on rails. Great handling and steering, really hard suspension tho which spoils the overall package. Plus used values won't be as strong as the Golf
Yeah the new model's handling has come on leaps and bounds and I'd really like a mk2 Cupra sometime in the future. I had an old shape Cupra with Upsolute remap and it was a great car!As for the Golf GTI, I wasn't putting it down in any way. Really accomplished all rounder. Fantastic ride and handling balance compared to the older ones but it is a big car compared to the Polo. The Polo is much more agile on B roads, but in all other areas is completely out classed by the Golf except in price: £5k cheaper for an equivalent Polo GTI! And that £5k saving is why most of us here have the baby GTI not big brother!
