I had one of these for 5 weeks in France and Switzerland , did just over 5,500ks nice little car 2 litre diesel ,to expensive here but a nice car.

I bought the Mrs an exact but very different car ... DS4 1.6 litre turbo petrol for Christmas. I got sick of test driving every new car in Hobart over three weekends (test drive on Proctors Road, Tolmans Hill a few times  :thumbsup:). Then I got bored so she decided on this ... by which stage I didn't give a shi+. (Plates are changed now too so it looks a bit better)

Personally I hate the auto box but in manual mode I love it. Planning to take it on it's first "spirited" drive to Strahan in a couple of weeks. I have to admit it goes a lot harder than it looks.

I'd probably opt for the Golf R400 - nearly 400hp

Maybe not hot hatch, but world's best station wagon.  No doubt

Good plan,

A) if it actually happens
B) if they do an Aus version, no doubt de tuned for our conditions like all VAG cars
