Bigger than a Golf (comes as a wagon too), cheaper than a Golf, better made than a Golf, looks better than a Golf (last one is just my opinion obv).

And I'm pretty sure it comes in brown too.

Really? I see crap loads of vRS estates on the motorways throughout England, certainly more so than GTis. (I live in the North East of England, South Yorkshire and South Wales various times of the year)

The wagon also looks much better too.

I'm a subscriber to evo, so I read the article Henry wrote about filming this in Majorca this month, the pictures where some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. *presses play and immediately cries when the noise appears*

I didn't really buy that article when it came out. I mean it can't be too hard for Porsche to make a 4 cylinder version of their flat sixes. A VW EA888 would be so tall and ruin the centre of gravity of the Cayman/Boxster so much, it'd also require an almost complete brand new rear end, and since the Cayman/Boxster…

I really hope it's long enough so I can get my hands on a brand new Cayman GTS with that flat 6 and sports exhaust. I doubt it though, I still have 2 years of University left, so I doubt it. I just think it'll annoy me that I'm about to buy a Subaru and my future will just consist of turbo flat 4s.

So this is probably how I'm going to die.

I totally get that, everytime I see a 1 series over here with the M-sport pack I think it might be a M135i, and it rarely is. I suppose that kinda is more of a sleeper, when you mistake the turbo straight-six car for the 2.0 litre diesel all the time.

I was being a little bit sarcastic, I do love Alpinas, it's just when you see one on the road, the wheels definitely make you take a second glance. That might just be because I know what it is though.

Yes because donk wheels = sleeper.

The American 328d is the European 320d.

I know the D3 is quick, but as quick as Autocar make it out to be? I call bullshit.

Funny you should say that, it's based on the same platform as the Note. Also worth noting the Clio RS and Nismo Juke is on this platform too.

I own this cars now deceased twin, the Renault Modus, and I want this thing so badly. Also, the note is the same platform as the Renault Clio and Nissan Juke, so it should be able to squeeze in the Juke Nismo/Clio RS 1.6 turbo under the bonnet.

It's generally just engine swaps from the same brand, so maybe an SRT-8 engine in the Willys Jeep with extra turbos.

It's a shame as Vauxhalls over here, I've seen a few and they're really handsome cars. Especially as (I think they still are) Chevy are pulling out of Europe we won't get the Volt or Ampera. Need more cars like this in the world.

No, you have an experience of people who are pissed and immediately go to the fucking internet to complain about it. The noisy fucking minority.

Ouch, and I thought it was bad the Cupra being £1700 for me. My friends have had both and I really like both of them, although I'm sick of diesel cars right now, even with the better mileage, I'd rather spend more money and have turbo petrol, more fun.

I've seen a few nice ones around, but unfortunately the insurance premiums are stupid. For me (a 22 year old) it was roughly £1000 more than the same generation Golf GTi. Boy racers spoil all the fun.
