      Got some great reviews this car was interested when i first heard the figures a while ago.
      Had a Golf Gti remapped to 250 and a V6 4 motion many moons ago.
      Loved em both
      Might pop down to VW for a peek
      Gone but not forgotten boohoo !!!

      +1
      I thought the build quality of the 4 motion was excellent!! Easily up on Audi at the time if not better
