Never rubbed and ours is lower than that featured

Not a crashy ride in the slightest but I’m sure the KWs on my 850R saloon will be even better quality once the build is complete

I’d be concerned if my car was bottoming out, even on our crap roads as that one was in the video.

I do enjoy the reviews by the chap from Number 27. He's featured some interesting cars.

This review does the 850 T5R/R and V70R justice. My favourite review on youtube about our cars.
