I had a quick blast round the block in my Mrs mates diesel VRS and I must say they do pull well in 1st and 2nd be interested to know what they handle like when thrown down a country road.

Reviews saying problems already.

One thing my recent search has made me realise is just what a good package the Subaru is, I kind of needed reminding as I've had them for too long and was starting to get distracted by other stuff, but tbh Scoobs are unbeatable.

Yeah the reviews I've been reading say the same thing, had it spinning on dry tarmac in 1st and 2nd even got some torque steer in a straight line on a dry road.

The tsi went in the Mk2 Mk 1 was the 1.9tdi and everyone loved it

Everyone hated the Mk2 and no one bought it.Tall,boxy and ugly .lol

The new Mk 3 is a different kettle of fish.Stunning IMHO.Though apparently no plans for a vRS version.They must be crazy! lol
