Test drove both Colt Ralliart aka "little riceburner" & Polo GTI on the weekend, was initially impressed with the acceleration of the Colt & handling fairly good apart from body roll & turbo lag issues, looked great in red, but interior low rent & cheap feeling. Stepping into the Polo GTI was a revelation, acceleration/gearshift/handling/build quality are all top notch, the list of equipment is absolutely stunning/unbeatable for the price. As a daily driver, this is the car you'd want, the ColtR is too compromised as I feel the XR4/ST might be when it arrives. Note: Recaros in the Colt no good for anyone over 85kgs. From the pics the XR4 looks pitched at the boy-racer set, along with the ColtR. Polo GTI aimed at the more mature driver.
WQ Black Ford Fiesta Zetec.
