new rule no french cars....... not to cause offence but i dont rate them, seen how they come apart at accidents and the build quality is very poor (from the cars i have seen)

The Type R really is nice to drive, you don't notice the lack of torque with the neatly stacked gear ratios but they are thirsty and how hard is the suspension?! Plus they don't handle anywhere near as well as the EP Type R and being NA aren't as tunable as the VXR or ST.

I had an focus st-2 and was one of the best cars I have owned, just a pity that they attract scum who don’t want to pay for them.

but the winner would be the Mazda 3 MPS for a pratical second hand hot hatch for me I think. i test drove one of these and the torque steer was shocking! utter utter crap. |

Don't ask me why, but I'm keep catching myself thinking about a Chrysler 300C tourer with the 6 cylinder diesel....

if the new RS is as good as the old one then it will be a laugh. i had the old focus RS and it really was an awesome car to drive. that was with standard bhp!

hahahaha, are the astra's really that bad ? the downside to the focus is it is a heavy pig with a thirsty volvo lump in it and parts would be expensive.......GM are known for reasonable prices for parts, but build quality perhaps not as nicely finished as the focus...... but which has the better NCAP rating ? i know the VXR has 5*

Why would anyone want to be seen in a Vauxhall? Look shit, drive shit, have the wankest indicater stalks which I wanted to rip off after 30 seconds, total shit.
