Have you actually driven a 2.0 FSI or just been passenger to it? "I've been in a 2.0 FSI," is pretty vague. They're completley void of feel. Obviously aimed at the person who wants a family orientated, economical, ultra-reliable hatch and has no interest in real driving.
Sorry. Driven. Sure, lacked feel... but as you mention, it's not for 'real' drivers. Those markets are targeted with the Golf GTI.

Still think it was a much better drive then the Mazda3 I drove. That lacked feel too... the electric steering : When parking all you hear is the steering hissing as the electronics are hard at work.
