No one knows how to hurt tyres quite like you, Driving Enthusiast. Great review as per usual, keep it up!

[@savagebanana7560]

mate, when will you review byd seal? I can't wait.

[@spiro5327]

Have driven the VZX pretty quick car though i don't understand why it is not AWD Thanks for the review

[@benslater9431]

Would have destroyed Golf R sales I reckon. They do have an AWD Leon variant (VZX 5 Door Sportstourer) which is now in big talks for coming to Australia now the Golf R wagon is no longer sold here.

[@OscarLodge]

Agree - I didn't want an S.U.V (even crossover) and would have definitely gone for the Leon,. but decided on the 306 bhp Formentor due to the A.W.D

[@spiro5327]

@@OscarLodge I was thinking the same thing but i wont go for a Formentor so my only options are Golf R or S3 i guess

[@ytyndale3643]

Not bad I guess, the change from first gear to 2nd seems to be letting it down. But of a delay.

[@tonycoz2309]

What's the cost differential between the two?

[@Zenithdraggy]

about 2k difference without on road costs

[@malsmith2012]

What's it like in comfort mate?

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Yeah not too bad for a hot hatch. Some rivals like the i30N are a bit stiffer, but some like the Golf GTI are a bit more comfortable. The VZ is a decent balance.

[@malsmith2012]

@@drivingenthusiastaustralia thanks for that Brett.. Great info mate..

I don’t get it the market for this car, its still a VW (good luck) but non existent dealer network / support, pretty same (overpriced) price as GTI, but less performance, more expensive tyres = its gonna to hideously depreciate

What do they say... lipstick on a pig.
