I test drove the new Golf GTI today and had about the most fun you can have in a car. It was the kind of experience that leaves you with an enormous smile for hours after. It looks awesome, the handling was excellent and the speed of the thing is astounding. For a better description from someone who knows about driving, I hope TJ will provide some content as he was with me at the time (and managed a very scary power slide around a tiny roundabout).

There is, however, only one problem with it – they can’t make them fast enough. The waiting list for new orders is already running into June. I better place my order next week.
