Dangerous road to be flying round at this time of year!
 Always some f**ktard round every corner

In spite of what I said about the A57, I'm a careful driver really and use plenty of common sense when driving on these types of roads. As you say, you never know what's round the next corner so you need to be careful or you could end up in a hedge, killing yourself or somebody else.

I came from a MK5 GTI. I love my car, but I liked my GTI a little bit more. For sure the R is a lot quicker than the GTI, but for me there is a trade off. The ride is hard and when in D the car can feel really slow and it drinks fuel like you would not believe. On the plus point in this wet weather that seems to be the norm now the traction is great, 4wd in the wet from standstill is awesome campared with the GTI. It depends what you want from your car and how much you want to pay.
