Solo x soci_aci: a 300kmh, scendi e spingi l'8, fino a 400kmh, e risali a bordo: alleluia!!!

Does it understeer a lot?

[@CleKoh]

The front is very capable but 300hp in such a small front wheel drive car leads to some understeer. But thats only when you push it. And its way better than oversteer in this particular car :)

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

@@CleKoh I always thought of the GTI CS as just a faster Golf on a straight line. The more videos I see, the more I'm convinced its more for straight line speed than cornering. Do you believe its the case?

What did you think of it?

[@CleKoh]

Pros: it‘s really fast, great daily if you ask me, good amount of comfort, infotainment has car play so thats all I need Cons: emotional driving is way different. So no use for a get your head clear vehicle.

[@mariodiniz21]

@@CleKoh it seems surprisingly fast even in videos, the mk7 R that I used to own didn't gave this impression of speed. Also it seems to sound good. Did this car have DCC?

[@CleKoh]

@@mariodiniz21 sadly no DCC. Yeah its really fast. For backroads its more than sufficient. I once caught up to a Leon Cupra so fast and humiliated a Mk7 GTI both in turns and straights. Sound is good, it‘s not overdone. Pretty subtle overall, I liked it a lot.

@@CleKoh Is this your car? I think I will buy one in the near future, I like it. I will use it mainly as a second family car (also for my wife when needed) and for some backroads fast driving and the odd trackday. It seems like a good package overall for the price. Regarding the sound I don't think this car needs an exhaust, but I never heard it in real life.

[@CleKoh]

Not my car, was my CompanyCar for a while. Seems like you will put it to good use. Really nice value for a small one car solution
