Nairnster Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Not that quick? Or just a crap driver? Possibly both.Just had a run in with one of these on a private track. He kept speeding past, slowing down, and looking across to me. I then thought why not as we exited a 30mph bend and he floored it. I dropped it to second, accelerated hard like he was doing and actually drew level and passed him before we had to slow down.Has anyone driven one? It was nowhere near as quick as I expected, and I think the Golf driver was a bit surprised as he didnt look at me again, and suddenly had his right arm on the door, looking straight ahead like I didnt exist.Or was it a case of he couldnt drive.

Mr Brown Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yes my mates mrs had one, we helped ourself to it one day and was both very disapointed how slow and clumsey it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Are they still only 200bhp? Like the MK 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairnster Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think they are about 207/210 respectively with supposed 6.9/6.5 second 0-60 times.Guess they were measured with fumes, lightweight driver, and in perfect conditions.

philgor Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 i had a play with xr2i fiesta of 1992 vintage, couldn't touch me around the bends' and he looked a bit upset when i let him pass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah, the Golf aint that quick. I had a play with one (or should I say Ruby did) a few months back and she wasted it! It was done up quite nicely too, but when he gunned the arse of it, it just couldn't compete with Ruby. He had two goes then backed right off looking rather sheepish! lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
