Sounds like it'd be a great DD.

Nice nice nice. 5.5s is very quick for a hatchback! But a lot of it is up to the 4wd this one has.

Clearly none of you did that well at reading comprehension:

The 0 - 100km/h time should be covered in about 6.5 seconds for the 6-speed manual and 6.4 seconds for the DSG model.

Read my second post again and try to actually comprehend it this time.

What makes you think i bothered to read anything below the initial post?

Fair enough though, but i don't believe those figures for a 265hp car with awd. Seems too quick @ 5.5 to 60mph.

I agree with you that 5.5 seems a tad optimistic.
