I was out test driving cars again the other day and I ran into a 1.8 turbo Gti. I like this car a lot. Very simple but nice styling. And it was pretty fast too. Come with 180hp. I figure 300hp wouldn't be to hard to get. I was just wondering what people have heard about this car. And does anyone know if the 2.8vr6 is a better option? I'm liking the lightweight 1.8 turbo. Just curious.

I like the interior and the looks and all but the reliability of them sucks. My friend ran a 9.75 in the 1/8 mile and only 69mph. Stock they aren't really all that quick about as fast as a civic si, maybe a little bit quicker.
