Funny how many tests you read where someone 'only' has a model in a higher spec avaliable.

I would assume the test people would give a bit of notice.

I think it is sometimes a ploy by the company to show their car in the best possible light. It sort of worked in this case, because they said "as tested" the golf was the best car...

I know it is, but you think they would be onto it by now  :whistler:

A few articles that read 'unfortunately manafacturer X was unable to supply the spec of car we requested so we cannot feature it here' would fix the issue.

What you talkin' about Willis! How dare they! The impreza is ok, but i found it a bit gutless and noisy.
