hi guys i currently own a gti and am looking to get a mazdaspeed 3 i believe. i love my gti but i want something with some more power. i heard these cars are really good but i'm scared of torque steering and FWD! HELP! here's a pic of me with my gti. i'm on the left.

a) you're really damn hot. Sorry, testosterone and all that. :P

b) the 2.0T is supposed to have a lot of potential that you can bring out with mods. It would probably be cheaper to go that route, unless you don't care about cost.

c) FWD + power = torque steer. There are some good AWD hot hatches to be had, especially in Europe (I'm guessing that's where you are...)
 
Please show us another pic of you anywhere but at that event. Sorry to be a butthole but that pic was taken at a VW promotion of some kind (car show, etc. ) and those look like the event models next to the GTI. Not saying you can't be that model but who has a "golf GTI Pirelli" sign with the VW website on the front of their car?
If you really are that girl than please take this as a complement. Just I've never seen anyone that hot in a GTI... Ever. Not many people hot enough to pull up in their own car, get out and model next to it at a VW event. Lol.

As for the torque steer... You get used to it quick and it becomes far less of a problem. Yeah I prefer AWD but I don't often have issues with torque steer that make me think twice about it. Wheel hop is another story...

torque steer can be an issue in this car in low traction situations, but only if you drive it like you stole it everywhere you go. i have no experience with "hot-hatches" (my last car was actually a truck), but for the price this car cant really be beat.
 
The torque steer is manageable. I actually enjoy wrestling the steering wheel into a straight line. Gives me something to do between shifts.

i agree, I dont race on circuit...i dont mind torque steer at all, i think its actually fun sometime
 
Troll.

Picture is from seriouswheels.com and is from an event in Wrthersee, Austria.

Cameros are not for sale in Europe if you are from Austria/Germany.

I guess its possible to go to be recruited from the states to be a VW model in Denmark and have your picture taken and be put up on that website....

Thanks Sport6. Beat me to the punch. OP is probably just a hungry US VW sales rep with trouble unloading GTI inventory.
