Hi Guys, I bought a 2007 Golf 5 2.0 last year with the Votex bib and tail skirt...looks neat and really enhances the looks.
I'm looking for a local road test of this car in standard trim(its the Trendline) ...but even the Comfortline will do. Believe it or not, have been a local Car mag subscriber for more than 25 years, contacted them to ask for this road test, and never even got a reply- contacted twice by email! If anyone here has one or can point me in the right direction to get this, I will be most grateful. There are some overseas mags with road tests but as you know most do not have our SA version with the BHY motor.
I know this thread is old, but seems like the thread to place this request. Many thanks in anticipation.

Thank you Mr Mazda for your suggestion, I am fully aware of the copyright to Ramsey media. As mentioned in my post, I contacted Car magazine twice per email to PURCHASE this road test...to no avail...in fact received no reply which is extremely poor. :deadhorse: I will not be renewing my subscription...sad after many, many years of Car.
What I am asking, is how and via what publication can I buy this road test...seeing as Car could not care less about my request. Thank you.
