Wonder how the Golf R would do against the RS3?
FF to around 16 mins, to watch the M135i pretty much stay on terms with a car costing 10k more. If the Golf can also do that, I'd be very impressed.
yella wrote: Surprised they didn't go for the 7 speed DSG, Pretty impressive figures though, be mad not go DSG by looks of it.The 7-speed VW unit is a sealed unit and is only used with less powerful engines (<140bhp iirc). The GTi, GTD and R all use the 6-speed box which can handle more power but do unfortunately have to be serviced occasionally to change the fluid.
