E89 Group test - Vs VW beetle, RS5, Vaux

[Ewazix]

Mini test on Auto Express this week. The Vauxhall wins ... on price, RS5 on ooomph, VW on charm and Z4 is only "in contention" weird review? or the sort of shallow thing you might expect in Hair Dresser Monthly :roll: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/vauxhall/cascada/64382/vauxhall-cascada-vs-rivals

Yea very weird - not really competitors at all?!?

Haven't read it in full yet, surely they aren't suggesting a Beetle is competition for an RS5?

I think theyre saying it has more charm. Review based on character choice and budget rather than performance.

I've never seen a more mismatched review. The only thing common is they're cabriolets. As for the Z4 being a contender to the Vauxhall ... who do they get to write these things... All different engines, different numbers of seats, only the z4 is a roadster.. Complete mismatch.

Crazy comparision!...I'll take the beetle thanks...

It's a 4 door saloon that's been converted into a convertible test, hardly surprising why the Z4 didn't fit in. Where do they get these people from to write these articles ?
