Would you let the stig drive your car around the top gear track?
What time do you think it would get?

yes, if it was the 1.6, and itd take about 1min 3 seconds. i believe it would be the fastest thing they have ever tested cos its got an inflatable nos bottle in the back i got free in redline, so its dead fast

Its not exactly a cupra is it no matter whats done to it.
No need for the numpty, just looks standard.

Yes, the engine in my car is bulletproof 
The time would be literally 10 minutes 
Although he'd have to pay for new a new clutch/brakes/tyres.

Doesnt look as good as the ones you normally see but nice car anyway.
Still dont think it could hold an R32.
If im wrong i'll admit it.

it will keep up with a non dsg one in a straight line, but as said round a trakc the golf does handle well where mine owuld lose out slightly, although mine handles better than most people expect, and reviews I have read comment its the best setup on the golf based chassis
mines running about 228bhp. so would be similar power to weight id imagine
