i testdrove one before i bought my gti from the dealers on des sources, eh, wasn't too impressed, granted if you're getting the 08 it's a different story as the interior is nicer, the lower door panels are black instead of light gray which was a big reason for me not to get the car, it goes like hell for sure, but after a 20 minute test drive i burned a 1/4 tank of gas lol. Fun car, sloppy steering, well built though.
