I have been using one all day today as we are trialing them at work,

Very impressed, drive well, handle well and go quite well too. Build quality still leaves a little to be desired but i was quite impressed.

Thirsty though

we already have a fair few GSI's which are not bad but these a much better!!

Are these actually being sold yet and if so what do they retail at??

really? Christ! I nearly bought an 'R' before I got my golf.
The Mrs has got a black normal Cupra, nice car really.
AMD remap, Full Supersprint system and a few jabba sport bits, 243 brake. Good old 1.8T's!

Problem is though, Cars like leons aren't big enough or heavy enough for us to use at work, it's big estates and saloons only

ye i think it must be. its the saab engine thats in the signum, cant think vxl would develop amother one just for the vectra vxr. Must just be remapped and have a few other little tweaks.

yep this is the saab engine
those figures are impressive for the size of the car
I would love to see someone get 27mpg

I'm just about getting that with my 1.8T never mind a 2.8T
