    As a daily, the Golf would feel faster - certainly with the extra torque and copious amounts of wheelspin available on demand. It'd feel more alive and urgent, and possibly more of a handful. At high revs the Scirocco would be as quick, and at very high speeds the greater capacity of the K04 would allow it to pull ahead. At the traffic light GP it'd be down to whomever got the better launch and managed their wheelspin better.

    On the track and in the twisties, it'd be the Scirocco (at least with the GTI on standard springs) - the wider track and firmer springs/ACC would take care of that I'd expect.

    The two cars are close enough in most respects that the differences would be no greater than those between a good and a merely average driver.

    I love the Scirocco R's road holding abilities - ACC on sport mode is fantastic. Additionally, the look in person and low driving position are great. It definitely feels like something special and not just a cheapo-TT or pimped up Golf.

    Interior-wise, it's nicely put together and looks good. However, still feels like a mish-mash of Mk5 and Mk6 golf that has been slightly enhanced - not a bad thing mind you.

    In terms of power, it's very similar to my APR stage 2 GTI but I still think my car feels a little quicker. When pushed hard, the Scirocco did seem to get onto the power more easily than my GTI but in-gear acceleration felt a little slower than my GTI. Bottom line is that this is a fast car.

    The standard exhaust also sounds great - I would only bother with a downpipe upgrade if I had one.

    For laughs, I put my GTI back onto the stock program and it felt 'slow'.

    Overall, it's a fun car to drive and is definitely a real head turner.

    Just spent a week in the coastal areas of victoria and had to be satisfied with 95 ron instead of its normal diet .

    To me there appears to be no difference in the power delivery between 95 and 98 , my APR dealer advised 98 diet only , is this a myth ?

    Most impressed with the surging power , although a little twitchy in the lower gears , thing just pulls like a train right up to its limit , economy good and seats that just feel so comfortable .

    I had to use 95 recently on a trip away as well, though switched to the 95 program that was included when i bought my tune. Noticed NO difference in power delivery.
