I have just checked out the autocar website and see that this weeks issue has the road test for vRS advertised,

Anyone read it?

I've not been shopping yet to browse

Think that's the one I stood reading in WHS the other day that says it's an OK car but times (and hot hatches) have moved on and it's no longer as competetive (performance/price) as the Mk1 was when it was launched which is the same argument I had with my local dealer the other day. When the mark 1 was launched there was nothing else around the same price that offered similar performance. Now, however, there is the Focus ST, Megane 225, Astra VXR
