FAREWELL: PICS OF NEW NON VAG CAR!

[jer]

Lovely looking motor there mate!

Question is, would/could you still go back to a GTI after driving that?

I would have to say no, which I am very to say because have had VW for many years but the Evo which I had never considered before is absolutely awesome, loving it at the moment!!  Its just so quick.  Just watched on UTube Evo MR the same as this one does 0-150 in 22 secs!!

woosh, a lot of carbon fibre.Like the Evo's but that ones a little to extreme for me.I am sure it will be a blast to drive,I really like the evo10 they have made the gap between services a bit longer this time.

The V was what got me started in the 1st place.  Test drove it and was impressed but as Phil has said on checking out the boot with a little one just not practical, wouldn't have got the shopping, let alone the pushchair in it!!  Then had a test drive in this one and it just wowed me.

Spot on.. My mates Evo V RS Sprint does standstill to limiter in top gear in 15 secs..  It's an absolute animal, mental fast.. THough 360's go very well too. As quick as my Golf is now, don't think it live with a IX 360..

whats the BHP on one of these?

The 200 MRs (this one being 142) had a HKS tuning kit which delivers 366bhp at 6887rpm and 363lb ft (492Nm) of torque at 3200rpm and 0-60 in just 3.9 secs!!

 Vortex generators help it stay streigh when "moving" some

Fantastic looking and performing car, like others though running costs for me would be the killer - if I didnt use it so much then I would love one.

Followed an Evo X FQ300 SST the other day in white, very discreet looking (well I say that but I spotted it and caught up to have a look), not sure on the looks compared to the old one, they seem to have lost a bit of that external style.  Exhaust postitions seem odd - maybe looks better in a different colour.
