Any opinions???

On paper they look like they will finally be a proper performance golf, look nice too...

a very sweet motor and not badly priced for VW standards...EVO magazine gave it the thumbs up.

Has a lot of features I wish my V6 had

I read the Evo review, and felt that they were impressed by it's handling/power but still, no Scooby beater in performance terms!

Saw it at the Motorshow and it was the b0llocks! Suffice to say that if I was looking at spending about £22.5k on a new car it would be at the top of my list. Made the Focus RS look very tacky. Unfortunately did the same to the Impreza, but then it is a VW, so it's bound to. Would be interesting to see how much the insurance was on one. Might get a quote just out of interest.

Ive got one on order. Most will have been taken by now is my guess. Only 3 per dealer.

I got an insurance quote, it was about another 100 quid from now until renewal (April 03) over and above my UK300.

Should work out about 850-900 quids.

Quotes may be high at the mo as none actually exist, insurance prices may come down once some are out on the roads. (That's what I told my wife anyway)

Quite fancy one instead of old bug puss.

Been offered a build slot for mar/april (first of the second batch)

Cant decide whether to part with 2k non refundable deposit...

Great car, nothing like the V6 4-motion! Tried one out and now looking to buy one. What an engine, FANTASTIC!!!!

Have you seen the video of it? (heard the sound of it?)
