I love the Audi S1 and am going to test drive one. I just know I wont be able to get over the price, AU$58k drive away is just too much to justify.

detuned golf r motor, awd and NO DSG option sounds like a winner to me!

Not much excitement here for the Focus RS? I had given up on it being anything but an overpowered FWD car (not that there is anything wrong with that) but was happy to see it is a AWD setup. I have heard conflicting reports about what system it uses though. Early on there were promising signs to it being a rear biased Torsen like setup. This was obviously to good to be true, but I am still not sure what it will come with. Talk of electronic clutch packs and torque vectoring (AKA torque braking) worry me.

It would be amazing to have a Halo AWD wannabe rally car, but only Subaru seem to be doing this.

I'm keen on an RS but something crazy is stirring in the back of my head.....


Just how unreliable could I expect a used 2015 Audi S1 to be? Yeah yeah VAG etc but no DSG! I imagine you could tune one to go pretty fast
I know ists smaller (like much smaller) then a focus, but that doesn't really concern me. I just want a fun hot hatch again

For me it is like a sleek wagon front half, generic hatch back half, plonked on top of a mini drive train with gigantic overhangs. As if we need confirmation that Subaru are completely and utterley dead.


edit: Actually the front end is loving gross. I agree with you, I cannot articulate how repulsive this is.

The BK 3 MPS is such a handsome hatchback. I had a black 08 back in the day and I miss it a lot. I'd be happy to keep one unmodded even.
