will be an impressive hatch, although expensive
only has a little more power than the new golf GTi... yet it pasted it out on the top gear track, so cant handle too shabby (and if what JR says is fact then when it comes out it will be a whole different car on track!)

I was suprised they didn't do 4X4 for this one like the Calibra Turbos as they are fookin quick and this should be on par.

Get a Cooper S Works. It'll hold its value too.

why is everyone fobbing it off though? the chassis is amazing, and it just means that you dont go round corners with your foot to the floor. it would be great on normal public roads

Agreed, its just a shame its always p*ssing down in the UK! A FWD with 240hp would find every 'damp@ spot on the road and spin its wheels at every opportunity!
