the gti does in 6 seconds while VW says it does it in 6.7 seconds these are conservative numbers unlike the made up ones that some companies do. These are real world and not drag strip numbers, they are also for 0-62. The magazines will get the R32 in the 5.7 range, if not quicker.

Those 0-60 times can not be correct! I don't believe it.

Too bad it's not a 4 door model. Otherwise, I would like to have one.

IT'S THE VW ESTIMATE.

They're just like Audi- always being conservative in 0-60 times.

No matter how fast it goes, the GTI will be more fun.
