I have never mentioned this before but since day one of owning my MKV GTI I was amazed and appalled at how soft the chassis is; as in torsional rigidity. I have never owned a car before that was so sloppy in chassis stiffness to the point that you can HEAR the ruber window seals creaking every time you enter a drive way??? It still eats away at me and is now even more pronounced since I have a firmer suspension set up. It becomes even more evident how torsionally sloppy it is when you hear the sub-frame bolts ticking/clicking in similar circumstances.
Love my VW's but I would never say the MKV, MKVI chassis' come any where near the poise and rigidity of the RS250.
