Power-wise though, don't you just wish VW would be brave and give the GTI 280bhp as standard?

Lifetime Warranty on this and looks pretty good .

It will need it if the turbo is anything like the old one, they tend to eat themselves.


I dont like the new 1 series. Give me the 'old' shape any day.

I reckon VW are heading in the rioght direction by reducing weight in the new GTi instead of these "hippo like" hot hatches! :wink:

Astra VXR GTC = 1475kg
Focus RS MK2 = 1483kg
 :stupid:
380bhp!

Probably is, when I used to work for BT, you got about 30% off new Vauxhalls and Fords down to the amount of company vehicles they bought. Seems every man and his dog gets a similar deal.
Sideways yo!

The coupe shape Astras on huge in the flesh, I think the m135 will look better in two door coupe form as unfortunately you still have to look at it to get in it, I think Autocar have the VCR, megane and rocco on test

See Autoexpress have the Focus ST on the cover which I assume trounces everything by the headline

Everyone seems to be going 'all out' - hot hatches are going to get serious by the looks of it. Apparently there's some baby AMG Merc coming too.

Problem is people who buy 40k cars don't want the tax and fuel bills, so m3 and rs4 owners now buy hot hatches, and if they cost 30k they must be good!

That's only because the previous 40k cars were all NA v8's. Now that they are all be swapping to turbo power it will probably change.
