I really like the look of the VRS. Much prefer it to the previous shape.

I have one, massively disappointing car.

Zero communication through the helm and awful stiction when transferring from the (pronounced) dive under braking to roll on turn-in.

Sadly not even economical :/

eek I'd get it looked at if I were you, I've had mine for 2 months now and it has plenty of feel, I've been on a few cross country hoons and it handles way better than my A4 did, less roll and grips like nothing else I've driven through twisties.

I prefer driving round with a white shirt and black tie on in mine wink

Maybe I should get a hi-viz jacket for the parcel shelf to complete the illusion?
