Four-wheel-drive, six-speed sequential gearbox, 300 hp, 1.6-liter turbocharged, direct injected four-banger shared with BMW and Mini. Merde me!

see i like that...at least the wheels are within the original arches (well ok they're wider but at least they've made it look OE)

unlike the Fiesta....the wheels are soo far outside the original arch it's just mad!

It's the new Mini Countryman 4x4. Perfect way for Mini to market it by using it for WRC.

You really are the worst offender of "my car is best" syndrome I've came across. You have an S3 - it's the best car ever, then you get a Cayman - it's the best car ever, then you have a sex change and buy a Mini - and guess what!

How come you only show up here when Minis, or Porsches are mentioned?

That vid is superb!! Looking forward to nxt year allready. Shame their cars are completely poo and have been for as long as i can remember. Loeb is a bit of a legend. If only kimmi was 1000th as good. Watch out for that tree....ditch....house....log....boulder!  :driver:

if you read (if you can )my posts i ve never said my car is best , the s3 is still a brilliant car (i dont have one ) the cayman i had imo was rubbish for a near £30 k car , i know this is a vw forum but there is more to life than vw most the other car makers now match if not beat vw build quality , i personally dont think the R looks that good for a top of the range car at top money with S3 running gear  :popcornsoda:

I like that. A literacy gibe preceding one of the most poorly constructed sentences I've ever had the misfortune to try to read. You'll have to try harder than that.
