Mine is 205 bhp with stage 1 map clios arent a problem in a straight line although they handle better, i find non turbo cars are more controlable round corners and dont spin compared to boosted FWD cards. not raced a type r yet but i dont think they would be any quicker. (bias obviously)

Yes no cult but in terms of what a hot hatch should do and how they can perform. light nimble, more power than expected a little underestimated and fairly rare. what could be better

The remap makes the car without a doubt.

The new one doesnt really appeal to me, it looks great i will grant you but the engine just isnt what it should be.

it wasnt designed to be speedy it was designed to keep emmisions and tax down with the low cc size. which to me is boring.

spend half the money and get a remap and spank someone thats just spent double the money on a new one.

The new GTI is pretty good actually. The 1.4 TSI with just a remap will make ~220bhp.

I can agree with that comment K.I.T.T. Just been to awsome GTI today, and they threw us a free APR remap trial on mine. OMG, what a difference man. I had a 1.9 TDI polo before had, and had that remapped to around 140 ish, and that felt quick to me. But these 1.8 T with a remap really are something special lol. I love it. Just need to find another £400 rips now to make it permanent lol.
