Right, out of the box power, go and buy a gti. They are powerful for what they are and a good laugh.
Now, if you want to be different from the crowd, ignore all the comments you'll get saying "oh the 1.8 is shit, get a J4RS". Its not a shit engine. Get a higher flowing head on there with suitable cams and proper mapping and it will be a cracking engine.
Issue with the 1.8 is the Sagem ecu. Its just awful so if you do make any changes, it needs to be on aftermarket management which isn't cheap!
