Well the golf lacks rwd. I have driven a scirocco 2.0 tsi dsg which was chipped from 200 to 250 hp. Yes its fast, but it has loads of torquesteer and understeer. 3rd gear in corner you cant push the throttle. 1st or 2nd gear and little bit humid or worse, cant use the throttle. Very cold and roads being a bit salty 4th gear on highway and wheelspin. And can go on and on...
No for me a rwd car please. When i picked up my m135i in sam situations as above i could very easily modulate with the throttle to get anywhere.
Anyways the golf gti is fwd too i assume? Then it will be same shit as with the scirocco. 125i for me then please
