"But its handling prowess and body control were knocked on the twisties running up the mountains surrounding Borrego Springs. You arrive slow into the curves, the horizon tilts several degrees, then you ride out on a swell of torque—not fluidly. And that's with the optional 17-inch wheel package. What was less than inspiring on roads such as Montezuma Valley and up Palomar Mountain was downright frustrating on the Streets of Willow road course." - Car and Driver on the GTI 1.8T
"It's so stable on corner entry that it seems to slow time down while you scrub off some speed and dance on the pedals and grope for another gear." - Car and Driver on the RSX Type-S
