Golf GTi or Skoda vRS

[steady eddie]

Anyone driven the Golf GTi and Skoda vRS back to back?
If so I would welcome your comments as the Skoda has a big price advantage over the Golf.
This is pointing me towards the Skoda but resale values etc may favour the Golf
Thanks

This (actually last) week's Autocar has a comparison of 4 2.0T engined cars - TT, Golf, Leon, Octavia. Performance, wet/dry, braking, laps etc.

Golf wins.

I doubt you'll feel short-changed by an Octavia though.

driven both between the two imho no competition Golf wins hands down... think you get what you pay for though.. value for money the seat Leon is worth a look.....

Thought about a Golf Gti and have just bought a Golf GT Tdi (2.0L).

Fantastic car and very impressed.

Great performance

Neither try one of the E46 330s.

If you want value for money then an E46 330 is not the way to go. If the OP means the mk5 Golf GTi then it's a no brainer really.

Focus ST would be the answer to that question then.

Had mine for 7k miles, not a single problem, makes a beautiful noise and build quality is very good toe to toe with the Germans.

Love the car and great value for money.
