    Nice review and neat car. It’s great to bring in some competition to the Golfs, Audis and Renos. 1.2g acceleration on the Dragy going into second gear is pretty impressive too. Usual front wheel drive curse off the line though.

    Great review Johnno, now that you're bringing us Euros and you made it blatantly obvious that you have a passion for Latinos, I'm hoping you can review an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Alfa claims 505hp, top speed 307km and 0 to 100 in 3.7 seconds from its 2.9 litre twin turbo V6. They're out there but I'm yet to see an Aussie review. Cheers for the upload.👍

Cupra have done an amazing job with the platform. Could almost say it is the best MQB platform but maybe the 8r? Though this is about 20k cheaper...so why wouldnt you!

Never had issues with Audi, Chyrsler when I did that. Audi was probably the best out of all the dealers Ive been to, let me take any car I wanted to check out until I found the one I wanted.

    Half the car for full size car prices. Never made sense to me how they could put such a high price. The size of the car means less materials needed to assemble. So why would you buy it considering the enermous price. And that goes for any small car with ridiculas prices. And, finally a new brand scares the hell out of me because you don't have a track record on build qaulity and reliability. I prefer to stick to what i know.
