Rather a bland review and doesn't say anything we probably didn't already know. But they generally like it.

that is horrible! Don't Like it!

And I can't see anything in the review that they would only have learned in a UK version on UK roads, which they wouldn't have found when testing the "European spec" version, other than perhaps a bit of spec, the price we have to pay for it.

In fact, looking again at their earlier story on the vRS, a lot of it seems to have been cut-and-pasted into the "new" story

Next week's issue has it in a twin test against the rally car - probably more waste of ink!

... except that top speed can be measured in bhp apparently.

Quote - It’s the hottest hatch Skoda has ever made, and it’s hit the UK!

There's hidden messages in there Only joking, looks pretty good,

will be interesting to see some real world MPG for that engine.

Pop over to Seat and ask them about the Ibiza FR and Cupra and Bocanegra - been using that engine for a while now!
