Read this earlier. Guess I must be one of the committed few!!! I'm actually pleased to hear that it's a bit ugly, a bit uncomfortable, a bit unrefined, a bit noisy and a bit lairy. That means it's everything I liked about my old one and one of the reasons I didn't buy anything German back then. I think with the pro r pack which is reported to add another 40 or so bhp, that should put it clear of the golf r's and s3's on performance and you can guarantee that it will be more involving to drive. Speaking of which, I must drive one, just in case it's none of the above!!! Spoken to culverwells and they reckon they'll have a demonstrator in 3/4 weeks.
There is a good half hour u.s review on you tube for it at the moment where they take it around Laguna seka. Worth a watch for anyone interested. It's still far more hard core than the other options which will appeal to some and not others.
They drone on a bit but it's quite a good review:
