How fast are these cars? I mean they must be pretty quick with 2.3 turbo lump. I like the look of the previous ones without the bonnet scoop etc because they look so dull and boring but pack a punch? Much faster than a type r? |

How fast is it? Well....fast. A match for any of the other top end hot hatches like the Megane or the Focus RS or the Golf GTI.

I heard it suffers heavily from 'torque steer' due to it being front wheel drive, but otherwise a great deal of fun.

Sorry but virtually everything that powerful and front wheel drive does you can feel it in nearly everything with over 200bhp through the front wheels. The main problem is if the suspension is a bit softer when you accelerate and the car squats you can be all over the shop because some sniff out all the bumps and cambers and you get wrenched about. If you make it too firm you lose grip anyway beyond a point on the road

Ive driven my grandads Volvo C70 T5, its got around 180kw (240bhp) if im not mistaken, all that power going to the front is an issue, you find yourself fighting the steering wheel, and cornering at high speeds is nothing short of terrifying, just doesnt feel composed. Never driven an MPS, but i assume the experience isnt that different.

There are ways to help it but its virtually impossible to avoid. Simple stuff like equal length drives hafts help. But it is mostly unavoidable under hard acceleration and cornering together

I read the other day that there's not as much boost in I think 1st and 2nd gear to try to avoid this
