There is Greek guy on Scirocco central taking his R to 500 bhp :shocked: I can't post the read link though as you have to a member.

That is going to be some crazy Rocco especially in a front wheel drive !

VW only brigade look away now

a bargain for someone?

I tried the older version before I got the gti. As a previous ibiza cupra owner sadly I was disapointed.
The dsg only did not help and from what I've read on the seat forum since I'm glad I did not go for one. Looks great but sadly let down by engine and box gremlins which I hope they finally sorted.

I find the internal plastics on Seat cars is just not up to scratch and it therefore makes the whole interior look cheap.

yes my mate has a leon fr and the interior is not a patch on the golf



got my new copy of evo with a large test of the new brz. it didn't do great. superb chassis and brakes but needs 50bhp more

they also said it doesn't oversteer like the hype says - it just grips and grips but thats not what it was designed to do

megane 265 trophy over 5 seconds a lap quicker and demolished it on the road

I'm looking forward to the brz/gt86 but i would wait for an STI version before considering one

You would have thought so  :shocked: must be a reason why I suppose but it is odd they didn't put it on there

I reckon they could but by the time they had relocated the fuel tank the car would have zero boot space (roc boot is about the same size as a Golf R
