122bhp . 140bhp . 170bhp models
I had a 140 and a 170 last year, loved both cars, plenty of poke, not as flash as a GTI or expensive and didn't attract the attention of the GTI. A few mates of mine have the new GTI and two of them have been robbed.
Bought the 140 had it for 6 months and then traded it in for a demo 170, both cars gave me a bit of trouble with the clutch pedel, couldn't get used to it at all, felt wrong under the foot, got a flash update on both cars and it sorted both out.

It is taxed as a 1.4 but the mazda RX8 is a 1.3 and is taxed as a 1.8
The reason is clear enough: the Revenue try and gouge as much VRT as they possibly can, using whatever excuse they can. Logic and facts (like the 1.3 displacement of the RX8 rotary engine) have nothing to do with it.
I can only assume they get away with it because nobody is going to the bother and expense of mounting a legal challenge.
I assume the argument they use with the RX8 is that a rotary engine is completely different from other engines (which it is) and so doesn't have a displacement capacity as such, but I'd say that's a highly questionable argument at best.
Why should a roatry engine make a differance? The output from the mazda and the 170hp tsi is pretty much the same - if the the golf was a v6 would it be taxed as a 2.3 v6? I dont think so!! There has to be some other reason,
man i cant wait , im dying for it
