I'm not really into Golfs, but I know that the latest model is cracker.

Then I read, in this week's Autocar about the new Golf GT. Turbocharged AND supercharged. 40mpg, 136mph, 7.9 to 60, 168bhp/177lb/ft

Hmm.... any chance the MINI3 Cooper will have as decent an engine as that???!

It's a 1.4!!!! That's just nuts!

It's also got 178 C02 emmisions. One for the company car lists me thinks, but I'll bet it's not cheap. If only the list price matched a 1.4, I suspect it'll be nearer 20K, above the GT TDi but below the GTi which is a shame as I'd have one as a company motor (new job role may mean selling the beemer and getting a company car - not happy)
