First problem is the conclusion ...they dont do a GTI.
Second is the 6.7 seconds 0-60 for DSG, tut tut but then he is wearing a very unfashionable jumper!

Who cares ...just look at the damn thing, lovely jubbly!!!!! :faint:

Acceleration test looked like it was on a fairly steep hill which means the figures produced are a complete waste of time. :no:
08/11 - 12/13 2.0 TSI R DSG, Black / Black Vienna
01/09 - 08/11 2.0 TSI GT DSG, Black / Truffle Vienna

Black is the new Black....

Yeah - all of the above and more. Got top be one of the crappiest road tests ever.
Sound levels up and down all over the place, pointless passages where nothing's happening and nothing's being said.
Still nice looking Roc and engine sounds really meaty.

Looks like he just floored it aswell with ESP trying to kick in, rocs need progressive acceleration ...the numpty!
I thought Autocar already reviewed it? It must be so good they wanted to drive it again ;)

My goodness what can I say!!!!! Anyone testing 0-60 uphill should be shot particularly when wearing a jumper like that.
Thought the thumb ring was uncool on a boy or am I old and out of touch. Perhaps Ford (RS)or Renault (Megane) are paying him a fat retainer? Out of sync with other professional road tests already written about the Roc R. Bottled it in the middle of the S bends hitting the chicken peddle as he misread the road and got the entry speed all wrong. Has not stopped me handing over my dosh tomorrow!!!!! Happy motoring to all Roc drivers.
