Warm front hits Golf stream - This will be as hot as the new Golf gets until the new GTI arrives next summer

摘要

IT'S AN OPEN secret that there'll be a new Volkswagen Golf GTI next summer, and that it's likely to have more than the current car's 197 bhp. Until then, the most potent version of the imminent Golf Mk VI is this, the 1.4 TSI 160. Still, 158bhp isn't too shabby, especially when it's being made by Volkswagen's 1.4-litre direct-injection turbocharged and supercharged engine. It doesn't exactly turn the car into a hot hatch, but performance is comparable with that of a BMW 1201, while its fuel economy and carbon dioxide emissions are better.
