    We think that the basic version of Golf GTI with a manual transmission is the best choice for the price/performance ratio from VW. The Clubsport version will not bring that much anything extra for circuit driving except for more durable brakes, and it will not offer as good an experience on the circuit as, for example, the latest specification of the Hyundai i30 N. The more expensive Golf R with all-wheel drive should be your choice if you are after some fun snow driving. It actually uses the same all-wheel drive system as the new Audi RS3!

    Capable but too safe. More aggressive alignment would make it better. Nice to see that e-diff has enough bite to make it oversteer, that's not something you see very often :)

    How do you get this to lift off oversteer? My latest gen polo gti wont let me even with esc sport and dsc off. Is it just differences in stability control modes or the lsd or combo of both?

  • @TuddecBMW
    @TuddecBMW Před rokem

    Does it let you turn ESC all the way off on the 8? I have a 7.5 and the best I can get is "ESC Sport" but that doesn't let me oversteer, as soon as I get the tail out with load transfer it applies brakes individually to immediately stop the slide. Here you managed to make it go sideways nicely

    The GTI has always been a good balance of fun and practicality. Other than the Civic Type R it's probably one of the best FWD platforms out there. However, the latest generation's user experience is horrible It's like VW forgot all about the fact that many people daily drive their GTI and want the radio, AC, and heated seat controls to be easy to use when they are just going to work.
