Decent size stilleto's though

 

Still no comments on here about the RS being thrashed on 5th Gear by a piece of French rubbish round a track.... surprised conrod/dipstick wasn't crowing about it... every one else went very quiet I noticed....

 

Didn't see it, what happened?

 

Didn't see it either, I missed it Was that last weeks? Got this weeks setup to tape on skyplus.

 

It was thier "Hot Hatch Shoot Out". had the RS, Megane & I think it was the Scirocco - all driven by either Tiff or the other one (can't remember his name) and timed..

Megane won.....

 

must have been a mildly moist track

 

Megane is a fantastic car!!

 

You've changed

 

No not at all. Just appreciate a good car when I drive one or a good bike when I ride one!! Bet you didn't know that either!

 

But is it better than the Focus RS? Or the STi hatch?

 

No where near as good as STi hatch. It is a cut above everything else in that price bracket!

 

Looks are rather marmite tho. hence why i never bothered.

 

Was always going to be the way with such a radical change ... admittedly in standard clothes the STi hatch was not much of a looker. But with the standard wheel upgrade and window tint that pretty much most customers go for on all cars now it changes it completely. I was biased but I thought my white hatch looked the absolute nuts!!

Seeing as you are a focus man now the looks aren;t too dis-similar, I thought you'd be more inclined to like the new STi hatch (With the small changes I mentioned.)

When I say not too dis-similar I mean obviousely they look different to each other but the overal shape to the nakid eye is similar.

You should drive the Cossie STi, will make you think twice about any other motor.

 

I wouldn't expect anything less if I was spunking £50k !!!!

 

Same!! It worth it I assure you!

 

I agree........ I've driven one and it's way better than many expect..

 

Gangsta

Have you driven the Cossie yet?

 

come on Phil have some faith!

 

Rare company if you have

You coming to Brands to see the launch?

 

Indeed, don't you remember the original hatch

Na don't do launches, prefer privacy and no tyre kickers/no it alls after my recent experiences at car shows.

 

Interesting

 

Not really. As you know I will buy any new subaru that is released ...

 

No you missed my point

Interesting that you have driven one
