The 207 GTi is shocking apparently. A neighbour of mine had one for 4 weeks, and hes now traded it in for for a late CTR. He reckoned that trying to accelerate to speed in that car was like trying to move the move out of orbit with a lawn mower. Mind you, he says the lack of torque in the CTR becomes a bore over the miles.
