Yes, Ive been watching this one.... I got this - this am...
http://smh.drive.com.au/m...oming-20100802-112u1.html
Drove one last week, driving another tomorrow.... Is an amazing car - but $59,990.... im struggling to justify that.. Got some thinking to do after tomorrow after the second test drive.
Doesnt feel any quicker than my car - but my god its got massive grunt and grip ..not to mention it sounds amazing - not ott, just right. Still coming to terms with all the plastic - a love hate thing.
Is a really tough one..but with only a small run of cars coming over - might not be an option anyway.

As i said to ya last night, sooooooooooo envious mate, hate you :p
I reckon if we had an awd option on our cars we'd eat it alive, but then again, that's just in stock form. A couple of tuning bits and the RS would be a completely different monster.

Glad that Ford have done this and I do hope they sell quickly.
Might disprove the theory that no one will pay more than 40k for a hot-hatch.
Anyone else noticed the amount of mk 6 GTi Golf`s on the road,add a few options and 50k buy-buy !

Test drove this white one too - this colour would be my choice (black wheels of course). Second drive - was a bit more restricted - roads not as good - but got the thing boosting well - it is very quick and a really really nice car, cant wait to see one here. They are quite common back home though - seeing about 9 of them when i was there and 7 of those were green.
Back in Aust now and drove my car for the first time in a month.... its quicker than i remember - very happy with it which is a good thing cause i cant afford the RS in reality. Spent more $$$ on the vixer instead.
