    If Porsche made a hot hatch

    If Porsche made a hot hatch

    .... I’m having a dilemma at the moment . I really can’t fault the cup chassis on the Clio ... the balance between sporty / ride comfort / body control for the roads I drive on is very well matched . Which is leaving me scratching my head a little .... All I’d really like is for the...

    this is like talking to my brother ... he must have 5-6 sets of wheels as well Good plan with the golf ... you just don’t need to do a lot to them , they are pretty rare now and just seeing one is cool . I’d never put a vr6 lump in the caddy if it was me ...may sound nice , but all that...

    If Porsche made a hot hatch

    Yes I agree .... but knowing the seats are protected makes me happy and I remove them when I’m out for a proper drive ... even the Porsche is subjected to seat covers !
