Well it is one of the many!
Yeah, have you ever seen a Golf 4Motion?
Probably not even an option at the dealers, even though it would be good for the 230 BHP version.

Does nobody else think that these are overpriced?
I've no doubt its a good car, but for the money they seem to be going for there are plenty of other options out there.

Correct, the 240 BHP version?
Well more power is not always synonymous with performance or handling.

I find them too one sided TBH, and their results are often skewered. They praise a car for one thing in a review, and then next time it gets reviewd it gets slated for something they praised a couple months before.
Also their conclusions to the Cupra/GTI/A3 2.0T is all too often just plain weird. Love one, loath the other even though they are so similiar in many ways.
Oh and BMW's can do no wrong in their eyes.
Too performance orientated for me, I prefer car mags that comment on the whole package from a potential owners point of view.

As far as BMW goes, it is true they go overboard with their love for the brand.....

Seats are usually setup to be sportier though hence the leoon being more capable
Talk about stating the obvious sonny boy, you might have thought you were clever but its obvious to everyone else

Don't "sonny boy" me *******, when you are demonstrating your own ignorance (yet again) through contradiction.

So, what is it? We know the answer, I even pointed it out to you, but you seem confused.
There is certainly something very "obvious" here, but it appears only you don't see what that is

Dunno about the normal Golf V GTI, but the 30th Edition sounds interesting, and most likely will blow the fat SEAT out of the water.
