I'm a hard core Chevy guy (2012 Silverado crew cab with mods to the 5.3L engine/trans and a topper too), I work for GM as skilled trades 29+ years. I saw an episode of Topgear on the telly & one of the featured cars was the venerable VW Golf GTI and was pitted against a Beamer. The 'dub whupped it. Couldn't believe until...wait for it...I drove one today. Lack of over / under steer and it was relatively fast. Rated top end with proper tires was 150+ mph with no mods. I was actually smiling driving a furrin car. Oof!
Anyhoo, if I had the means possible and needed a pocket car that flew like a chipmunk being chased by my Malinois, I would pick this car. Yup, I got whupped by a 6 speed manual white VW. Never thought I would EVER like a VW enough to actually contemplate buying one. I must be getting old...
