On the road
Driving
Good overall drive. Built like a German tank - solid car.
Performance
Wen it comes down to the VR6, there are 2 types - shagged or vaginal. 6 cylinder is a treat to drive - not too fast and furious, accelerates in a more refined manner. Great fun on countryside roads, goes prety well round corners too.
