Carwow review is up on the vRS. Can't actually believe how sh*t it sounds at 5:35. My 330e sounds beefier than this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHOTYw57TZg

The sports version of a boring hatch. Of course they want some noise. And they can get a rattly 4 pot diesel if they are really dull.

It's a hot hatch for grown ups and on that score the Octavia has got far more going for it than a hooligan exhaust note.
We obviously differ on what we prioritise in a hot hatch. To me that sounds fine. I'm not interested in pops and bangs. I'm more bothered about decent pace and keen handling without being loud and crashy.
Well sounding good is subjective. Some think that gangsta rap sounds good, whereas to me it sounds like angry people cussing. I've no issue with a bit of growl under acceleration. Pops and bangs? No thanks.
