One of my colleagues had a V5 on test last week for a few days. I took it home with just 45 miles on the clock, and put another 120 on it.....my comments..

- Very comfy, multi adjust seats much better than Leon.....

- Surprising economy, 33mpg on 45 mile drive home.....(14mpg on a burn-up)

- Surprising speed......135mph and still pulling..... +

- Instant power for overtaking in 2500 - 6000rpm band.

- soft, but controlled ride....springs more suited to softer shocks unlike Leon.

- unrivaled engine sound......:D

- HGP Turbo upgrade would make perfect (with better suspension), £5000 for 270bhp....

- 312mm brakes alot better than 280mm on my TDi.

Overall..........better than 20VT...
