it's nice to see reviews coming out! but still I can't wait to watch rather than read a review :p
There's a mistake up there saying the performance package will have 17-inches front brakes :eek: I don't think that's possible :rolleyes:

Nice review
"17-inches front brakes" means that 17-inches front wheels are the smallest you can put on it while still clear the calipers.

Man I cant wait to get my GTI, ESP and ABS kicking in more aggressively is a bummer. I hope that got fixed from "zero series" to production. But oh well, I think i can live with it even like that.

and that rear shot is AMAZING :D

I paged through this magazine in Barnes & Nobel.

I've got to say, that now that I'm seeing real world images of the car out in the wild - it's looking better and better.

I still remain skeptical of the EU vs. NA applications.

No doubt that its a nice car and certainly a better upgrade, but actually SEEING the differences that the Germany and Mexico engine assembly plants are doing, I just think NA might get shafted with engine features.

Cyl head and exh manifold are now a single piece.

We may be looking at custom exhaust outlet porting work for big turbo kits. Barring that, "big" turbos would be limited by stock outlet sizing.

In general, this integration leads to betterthermal control for more power and efficiency.
