Some of you have no idea about bad economy! I've had the gti6 for 2 weeks no going from my classic impreza averaging 17-19 mpg. Did'nt even think that was too bad! Had an ibiza cupra before that with 210bhp which was averaging 27-28 and i'm getting 35 easily out of the 6 i think it's fantastic! Considering it's such an old engine. Disagree with the lack of torque, your going from something which boosts hard and has short diesely ratios so of course it'll feel down on torque. But compare it to say a clio 182 very similar engine outputs feels just as strong low down, plus you get that lovely grunty note and scream up top. And to say there not that quick, i originally bought the 6 to tie my over before another VAG turbo car yet it's quicker than a mates EP3 CTR (alot quicker to 80!) a 330ci and a mapped fabia so far! Not at all bad for a £1000 car!
