Heh heh. Driven!
Drove a MkV GTI on Monday. Had all options. DSG box was amazing. I am a huge fan of manuals at the same time as hating autos, and I would be happy
with a DSG. That is one quick car. Photoshoot of Mk2 GTI and MkV GTI went great. Man the Mk2 is small by comparison. For a full report, go here, and
while you are at it, become a member. This is total H2O biz. No air prejudice or condecension to endure.

268 cam is a camshaft with a longer duration than the stocky. Boosts top end power a bit...

Forget those stats. DSG is quicker anyway. Look up in gear acceleration times for the commonwh0re and the GTI and your friend can have a damn good
cry!!! GTI is back, baby!!!!

it's a shame when finally we get such a great car in australia we can't get enough..can't understand VW germany's logic that to increase gti
numbers they also need to increase the number of other models which dont sell as well...sure we will take 1000 gti's but your getting a 1000 passats
with that!!!!!! they think the importer[be it vw factory here] will try harder to sell the less desired models..figure this out ...sure as hell I
cant! cheers steve

Hmmm, I must disagree with you on VW's failure to supply. We get all our GTI's from South Africa this time (unfortunately), but it is only because
the car is so damn popular that we cant get enough. VW Australia, through negotiations with VW Germany secured an order for 13 per week from SA.
Unfortunately, orders are coming thick and fast at up to 60 per week. Even if VWA wanted to up the order, the amount being made that are available for
Aus are too few. Demand is way outstripping supply. This is why we wont see 3 door GTI's in Australia. If we did, they would come from Germany, and
they are way behind on supply to UK atm with RHD cars to be able to spare any 3 doors. I want 3 doors....
