A Renaultsport Megane or a Focus RS has a very niche market, the likes of GTIs and Cupras are bought by everyone from petrolheads to vicars to school-run mums and everyone in between... so they can't afford to be seen to sell a car with compromised driveability (in non-enthusiast eyes), hence them making them understeery too.
All about safety, refinement, middle ground and winning yet another "Best allrounder hot hatch" award.

to be fair the golf has always been like that, thats what a hot hatch is really, everyday car, think the others just have to do it bit more hardcore to tempt a few, as renaultsport, ford, honda etc could not make an allrounder as good as the golf.

so when you getting a golf? :confused: :P
jhtrophy:
i got a golf for kids :smiley: dont want my car to be a perfect all rounder, i like fun :P
Saint Steve:
Fun i guess is glueing it back together when it falls apart later. :laugh:
The golf is fun aswell, just glued slightly better :grin:
But in watching that R try and negoiate a corner with its 4WD system, it was still understeering quite badly at times. Adds to why its not a good as its price dictates. :stupid:
MAT ED30:
Fwd and a diff works great :driver:
