Nice looking car although I do prefer the new focus RS specially now they are giving it 350bhp now that's one car I would have nest to the Z :dance:

I'm sure that the new RS will be an awesome car but I don't know that I could live with it. :eusa-think:

Sorry not for me it just looks too tall - wrong proportions for me.

It's a good thing that we don't all like the same things. I'd only have one if it was a gift. Sorry it doesn't have any appeal whatsoever :thumbdown:

You see I have no issue with a car just not appealing to someone's taste...

still think id go for the new 235i tbh though... althought i'd likely regret that as soon as there was a skimmering of snow!

I could find endless reviews that will tell you how it's not "just a golf/GTI with quad exhausts". This thing is a steal and it'll go quicker than an RCZ R...of that you can be sure. With the additional traction from a 4WD system, it'll corner better and actually of round a corner in the snow. I'm struggling not to retort with the obvious, "if this is just a (Golf) with quad exhausts then the RCZ are is surely comparatively "just" an RCZ with a fixed spoiler lip". :lol: The latter is of course untrue and unfair but so are the accusations levelled at this marvel elsewhere on the thread. I'll say no more about it but suggest that perhaps it'd be wise to read the following and realise the error of such a misconception:

Golf with 4 exhaust = fail

I dont care how good it is, you do not put 4 pipes on a 4cyl hatch...

Golf is 0.6 ahead at 400m but look at the gap at 1km. Cant wait for G7R lap times to start coming in. 10 quid on the Rcz being faster?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Max

Absolutely, hit the nail on the head!

I absolutely love the G7 gti and honestly think its the best hot hatch currently for sale. VW has however taken hyper hatch to their head... 4 pipes wouldve worked if they slapped the VAG 3.0tfsi or even the ol 5 pot from the rs3 under the hood... But not a 4 :?
