    It's a Golf GTi, but why so understated..? Twin exhaust pipes hidden under rear bumper, no bodykit, no badges, standard dash...just not enough to distinguish the GTi T from the standard car!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent Recaro seats, most modern goodies included. Get a sunroof as well as aircon, if you can afford it.
