    i've said it to ppl before, AWD digs off the line. if you have straight roads its "more fun"
    FWD is usually better and more fun in the corners.
    AWD Fun from around 500HP - FWD Fun from around 300HP
    Thats when they start to get squirly and alive.
    still very handelable but will start to fight back :P
    Personally im enjoying the heck out of my i30N with 300hp 400Nm, makes all the right noises and hooks around corners like a champ.
    just kinda sad the Golf is a really bad stereotype here, they have tons of potential, but i wanted something different.

      You must be an EVO owner lol. Whats funny is I worked with a guy who had an EVO 5 with a stock turbo, but built motor and dyno tuned. He said he was 340whp. Biggest EVO fanboy I’ve ever met. He was always asking me to race. I have an IS38 MK7 GTI 6spd. So the day I quit that job, we went and raced. He was trying to clown on my car, and didn’t think I had a chance. We raced from a 40mph roll several times. We were even in 2nd. 3rd gear I was pulling bus lengths on him. He couldn’t believe it and was very surprised. But the funniest thing is I would see him at car shows with his EVO, and I would go up to him to say what’s up, and he would be surrounded by his friends. He never ever would talk about how he lost to my GTI. He was embarrassed to bring it up 🤣🤣🤣

    I don’t need or want a big turbo Golf. I’m happy with my old school Mk5 R32, may not be as fast but sounds way better and has more mojo than the newer VW R’s. Like this guy jokingly said after blowing a few turbos, “keep it stock”…..Waste of money…..My Golf is stock apart from the exhaust having a resonator delete. Can’t say I’m a fan of the sound of this car, the pops and gurgles sound is stupid, just my opinion. I like the NA VR6 sound better. Each to their own…..I’d rather a RS3 over this featured car…..
