On the road
Driving
Nasty, Very loud inside even more on motorways! Shakes above 70mph, had tracking and balancing and still does it. Does not deserve a GTi badge in my opinion.
Performance
It's not bad, could be a lot quicker for the amount of fuel it uses. A turbo uses less. Over 70mph is a no no, the engine screams and the stereo does not go loud enough to compensate.

Living with it
Reliability
Ok once it has started. Starting is a problem as its not willing to go. ECU light flickers causing the engine to judder.
Image
Lovely looking car. The SP kit finishes it off. Wish the body panels would be a bit thicker as dents are so easily come by.
Comfort
Very comfy. Leather seats are the best seats I have sat on.
