"All that equipment undoubtedly adds weight so under the bonnet the GTI now packs 197bhp. Thats hardly headline-grabbing these days, particularly with some rivals offering as much as 20-50bhp more, but in the Golf it feels plenty, the delivery from the 2.0-litre direct injection turbocharged engine feeling very muscular, its peak 207lbft of torque pulling from 1,800-5,000rpm allowing decent performance regardless of gear or revs." then why not put the six speed box on then? one of the mk5s already has it! still a 0-60 in 6.9sec aint bad
