It's running a brand new pair of Dunlop somethings on the front and a Contis on the back.
It gave a massive 'oh shit' understeery hell moment exiting a roundabout yesterday at a speed which would have left the Passat completely un-ruffled. I wouldn't even compare it with a 156, as that would just be embarrassing for the Focus.
I really do fail to see why they get such decent reviews.
