    Nice review and neat car. It’s great to bring in some competition to the Golfs, Audis and Renos. 1.2g acceleration on the Dragy going into second gear is pretty impressive too. Usual front wheel drive curse off the line though.

    Great review Johnno, now that you're bringing us Euros and you made it blatantly obvious that you have a passion for Latinos, I'm hoping you can review an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Alfa claims 505hp, top speed 307km and 0 to 100 in 3.7 seconds from its 2.9 litre twin turbo V6. They're out there but I'm yet to see an Aussie review. Cheers for the upload.👍

      @@MrTroytroy I recon it's more of a symptom of people allocating money towards power mods for dyno sheet rather than wheels, tyres and decent suspension. My G6e turbo had 375wkw but 275 rear tyres with pilot cups, harrop lsd and decent suspension/sway bars and did great off the line.

Cupra have done an amazing job with the platform. Could almost say it is the best MQB platform but maybe the 8r? Though this is about 20k cheaper...so why wouldnt you!

    Half the car for full size car prices. Never made sense to me how they could put such a high price. The size of the car means less materials needed to assemble. So why would you buy it considering the enermous price. And that goes for any small car with ridiculas prices. And, finally a new brand scares the hell out of me because you don't have a track record on build qaulity and reliability. I prefer to stick to what i know.
