Hello from Perth (RColt.com W.A. Liaison)

[Rev]

yeah if you saw the December 2007 Wheels magazine write up they rated the Polo gti the overall best package of the 4. looked a pretty balanced view really (Although I could probably find 100+ RColt.com members who'd dispute some of their reports ). Think they mentioned the Ralliart as a harder core drivers package etc.. but in any case I think you will find every review differs slightly, and I am sure each groups owners will argue the case for thier product

Hence why it might be good to get some troops from each camp to a track/time trial day and other events. Be alot different getting drivers who are actually experienced in getting the best out of their cars. Might put to test some of the 'critics' opinions in some circumstances. Obviosly driver skill would play alot into times at track days etc... but wouldnt it be great to run against each other and do our own review of the big 4 under different conditions?

Personally I find all 4 hot hatches have their own cosmetic etc... appeal, can only vouch for the Ralliart Colt driving experience though, and have to say am absolutely loving it.

Like with our mob I'd expect some owners to be adding some mods that could imporve performance in alot fo areas of the vehicles too. BUt hey even if we can only get a handful of reps from each group to an event I think it may sprout much talk about future 'Mixed' events around the country?.

The MK IV(4) Golf is the model before the current shape Golf. The MK IV had the same 1.8 20v Turbo motor as the current Polo GTI. This engine is shared with quite a few VAG vehicles, including the Audi S3(post above).

Would be good to get this up and going a bit more Perth activity for the smaller hot hatches

[VW GTI]

I'd definitely go to an event like this in Brisbane should it ever extend out of Perth.

Hey Laurie, I see you got yourself an XR4! Congrats mate, read somewhere your bro has got the Opel now.

Yeah I would be interested to see where this goes as well. As stated above, Mk IV GTI has the same engine as new Polo GTI so only fair to come let us play too!!!

Keep an eye on the first page list in this topic mate, (I will keep it up to date) slowly getting reps put
their hands up. Let me knwo your interested as a Brisbane/QLD Mixed Events Coordinator? We have a QLD RColt Coordinator already - just need one from the other 3 car owner groups.
