Got me thinking about the old Hyundai Accent WRC, but not sure if it was actually a hatch or a 2 door coupe.

Very impressive but will be hard to consider these against their rivals like the GTI/R's of the world/Focus'/etc....

Really looks like a great effort, love the "manual" approach, sets it apart from the more upmarket Golf/S3/etc.

Probably best to wait for a low miles second hand one, let someone else take the inevitable first hit.

Or wait for the 4wd 300+ version :innocent:

Available to order from early January. I suspect there will be lots in the colour shown in the video.

Look real good value.

A lot more refined than the Civic Type R but equally as amazing in the handling department, half a dozen laps of Kirkistown and it didn't take long in getting the confidence built up :grinning:

me too since driving it in anger - in a yarn with @svensktoppen today i mentioned the following ref it:
1. much more refined and better finished than the Civic
2. much better looking than the Golf GTi
3. handles much better than the GTi and not as harsh as the Civic
4. at just over 100mph through debtors, in sub-zero temperatures, it sat so level and the grip was nothing short of mind blowing
5. even with fading brakes, a slight wobble going into colonial was soon ironed out as soon as i pressed the throttle again
6. on our roads, i can't see much else FWD coping as well, around track the civic will have it
