Ermmm love them and was seriously going to buy one but then thought of the tax..petrol and heard they are way to nose heavy.
Not even that fast either! Just drive your mates and make your own mind up 
Personally i would rather have the corrado .

driven loads of places in mk5's. slow as shite, but nice firm and precise in the corners, heard about the 2lt fsi.. 150bhp, and about 120lbft torque... lame!
