CULT HERO
WHAT WE SAID THEN 13 JANUARY 2010 “This is a more mature, less brutish hot hatch than the old R26. On initial inspection, it’s easy to confuse this maturity for a lack of soul. But that would be a mistake. Because get it on the right road (or better still a track) and the maturity melts away to reveal a hot hatch that is intimate, confidence inspiring and exceptionally talented.”
