Fact is the torque dip sucks. If there was a fix offered by the dealer for free everyone except lazy ass people would jump on it. It's not so much the lack of torque it's the fact that off idle the torque feels strong then falls off for a second or two them comes back on.
I love my FR-S. Hell I like driving it more than my 96 C4S. I didn't buy it because I wanted a fast car. I bought it because I wanted a daily driver that I could time attack every corner on my way to work like a D-Bag. Luckily everything else about the car offsets the dip issue. |
Yea I had a MkV GTI DSG since new, it wasn't too big a deal from 5000 to 6500rpm as it revs thru that fairly quickly, but yea I just didn't feel like the car was accelerating hard anymore in that range so I would shift early. The Mk2 TT is quite a lighter car I think but I've never driven one. I've sat in one at the showroom and the seating feels a bit lower than the Golf at the lowest position.
The later model 3.4L C4S just revs up really quick from a dig it's quite impressive. It's just too fast for me to drive the piss out of it daily without landing in jail lol!
Would be interesting to test drive the new twin and see how it deals with the torque dip range.
