I have a technical question --- I drove a 4-door 08 GTI over the weekend with the fancy paddle shifters. How on earth does that car produce so much toque and horse power? I had three adults in the car with luggage. The car had absolutely no problem cruising up relatively steep hills, at 70-80mph, without ever shifting out of high gear.......HOW???? I have a new 08 Accord and the GTI absolutely puts it to shame. I realize the GTI is probably lighter -- and maybe thats the only difference. But, the GTI acts like it has a V8 under the hood. I was SOOOOO impressed? Is it the turbo?

How's the reliability of the MkV GTI? I've seen some nightmare stories about VWs poor reliability. How about the DSG?
