I had the golf out at a private trackday!
SOOOOOOOOO boring compared to the other two cars!
Grand on the straights and great on the brakes (audi tt 225 brakes) but boring through the bends!
I found myself scandinavion flicking her in to the bends to overcome initial under steer put she pulls straight instantly when you get back on the power(300lb/ft) and then understeers! It's all very safe and predictable!
She doesn't let you left foot brake because the power dies if you have your foot on the throttle and brake at the same time!
And if you use traction control (ESP: electronic stablity program) then as soon as any wheel becomes unsettled she applies brakes to which ever wheel it needs to to regain grip! which is all very clever but it slows you down soooo much
Basicly she's a great road car for all of the above reasons! eg. when you are on a tight road with little or no space to slide around then the ESP is a life saver! but on track it's a major hinderence!
But with out ESP the car just understeers to easily
If i was going to track it again I'd get camber adjustable front suspension and a seriously tight rear anti roll bar! but she is my work car so I'll leave the track to the skyline and forester!
