But they are only a VW Golf underneath, I'm of the belief that VW groups cars are the worst cases of badge engineering ever marketed,
The new Beetle the Audi A3. the Golf the Audi TT, the Seat Ibiza, The Skoda Fabia are all based on the same chassis and running gear.
Its a miracle of modern marketing becuase it costs VW group sod all in engineering terms and they make a fortune out of the resulting mugs of customers, no wonder they can afford to buy things like Lamborghini!
Funnily enough my best mate has a Mk1 Polo the brakes on that aren't as bad as the Mk1 Golf with the bar across the scuttle to the servo mind.
His Polo started life as a 1.0, its now a 1.3 with a 5 speed gearbox and it shifts like a car with twice that engine size, its as light as a feather compared to most modern cars.
You're right they don't come as standard, but this ones been upgraded and now runs the full braking system off a Polo GT. Servo with bigger discs and calipers.
