Acceleration test looked like it was on a fairly steep hill which means the figures produced are a complete waste of time.

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.

They did a group test but not a full road test.

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.
