P-ter
As an everyday driver I have used Skoda Octavia Combi vRS diesel (180hp, 380 Nm. 6 years old, cc. 420. 000 km in it. Today was 5. 4 liter/100km in mixed road, from 50 km/h to 180km/h. It has had no problem, literraly nothing from the first day till now. I DO not care, what happen in 1/4 mile, in 14. xx second. I use it. That-s all. It would be my next choice. (I change car every 10 years, not every 1-2y. I need minimum 2 years to FEEL every reaction of my car. It is not about money. And yes, every vRS mate say hello with light horn to me, and we are very polite to each other) I think, 150-250 hp should be enough for everyday driver. Sure, you can buy faster, stonger, much, more expensive fancy cars, but red light stops you every corner.

Shows you just how lazy AutoExpress is compared to Carwow these days, they used to test cars on their own to get the actual performance numbers. Even on their recent comparison test, GTI vs focus ST, they still mentioned that the Focus is a lot faster than torquier than the GTI-when they are only using listed spec data. Proof that spec sheet numbers do not tell the whole story.

Race them up a windy mountain road and see what wins. I don't really see the point of these races. Not every car is built to be a drag car. It comes down to priorities and what you want. I bought the ST because I wanted a drivers car and it was miles ahead of both the GTI and R. Just a better all round experience.

It-s disappointing how slow the ST is at speed. It seems to get up and moving well then it loses it all. With 280 hp is should be capable of 13. 7-13. 8 in the 1/4 in perfect conditions on a prepped drag strip. Here I was hoping to see a 14. 2-14. 3 at least, but the midrange acceleration is mediocre. Oh well.

Ford has absolutely ruined the ST badge and history, The new focus ST sucks ass, it-s looks like garbages and the interior has no sporty feel or look and those seats look like entry model seats and not proper bolstered Recaros that we-ve come to know and love out the Focus ST over the years

I drove Golf and Octavia, and i don't see a reason to buy the Golf instead of Octavia, unless you really like the way it looks. Talking about normal cars, not RS vs GTI, cos i didn't drive those unfortunately.

Your description method is more than presenting a car, you should be professors. Honestly very good - I watch carwow since 2016 every car you advertising has got unique description.

all this time and matt never chooses a manual vw group to have the sound check with a manual trans, always a dual clutch, no rev limiter with a manual, also more fun
