really, who gives a shit. its a 1.6 16v made of tin foil. theyre not quick
go buy a fast car, then tell me if a 106gti is quick.
ffs, some people a re a joke. dont even know what a fast car is and claim a boy racers car park warrior car to be fast,

I know what a fast car is, sub14s to me, but at 19 to me a vts is quick, and a quarter in around 15 is good i think for the BHP..

106 gti's arent massively fast, a bit over-rated IMO

then it has a fucked engine. thats not what the point is anyway is it? as a 106gti is a far lighter car to begin with so has that advatage anyway.
pointless comment that im afraid, wasted everyones time

Ok eel thanks for that incase we didnt all ready know.
Exactly rusty, regardless of wieght its still one of the best hot hatches you can buy for 2k, show me another car that matches performance figures for that... that wouldnt cost a bomb on insurance etc..

those then are the people getting 15's on the 1/4 mile
people who do it properly ie not a numbnut will be getting mid 14's all day long from a std engine.
again, this is about a 106gti vs a polo
as a car, the polo is so much more than the 106 tin foil shit machine. its just the truth. a heinz can has a better safety rating

yep, as they dont have to charge you a lot, as the first time you crash you die in one. theyre over rated piles of shite. well done to anyone that owns one, i envy the speed and power you have and tha handling, wow, im so envious of its shitness

they are still crap IMO. AND in reference to the previous comment, find a semi decent one for 2k

comparing it with a car 300kg's heavier, yes, fair point.
