Car Deal of the Day: A Volkswagen Golf R Estate for less than a GTI
328bhp, 155mph top speed Practical interior, high-quality cabin Only £270.41 a month If you've got your heart set on a fast estate car for not much cash, then you better load up on this deal, because this Volkswagen Golf R Estate won't be around for long at this price. Select Car Leasing is offering the scintillating Volkswagen Golf R Estate for a simply unbelievable £270.41 a month right now. That's more than 300bhp for much less than £300 a month, which is not just an incredible power-per-pound ratio, it also means that this range-topping performance Golf is cheaper per month than the lesser potent (and practical) Golf GTI five-door hatch. This two-year deal requires £3,598.92 to be put down as an initial payment, and mileage is limited to 5,000 miles a year. This offer is better suited to lower-mileage drivers, because two-year, 8,000 miles per annum deals are all around £400 a month from every broker on the Auto Express Find a Car service, including from Select Car Leasing. Advertisement - Article continues below Despite that, you're getting one of the finest fast estates around. The 328bhp 2.0-litre, turbocharged four-cylinder engine fires the load-lugger from zero to 62mph in just 4.8 seconds, before topping out at 155mph. The car's seven-speed dual-clutch auto box also ensures gear changes are ruthlessly efficient. Beneath the practical body lies a trick four-wheel-drive system, which uses torque vectoring and electronic differential locks to send power to both front-to-rear and left-to-right. And the latest Golf R comes with DCC3 (Dynamic Chassis Control) as standard, allowing you to tweak the dampers and suspension to suit your mood. Of course, this being an estate car, space is important – rear legroom is pretty good and the 611-litre boot is enormous. Up front, the latest Golf features an improved cabin with an easier-to-use infotainment system and better-quality fixtures and fittings.

Car Deal of the Day: Classy seven-seat Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace for only £227 per month
Practical seven-seat family SUV Good amount of standard kit £227 per month with £3,083 initial payment The recently launched Tayron has taken over the role as Volkswagen's seven-seat SUV, which means the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace is now retired and available for great prices through the Auto Express Find a Car service – such as this deal we found for the comfortable family car at only £227 per month. The three-year lease term being offered by Leasing Options through Auto Express is for a well-equipped Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace in Life trim. It requires an initial outlay of £3,083, followed by monthly payments of £227, and includes a standard allowance of 5,000 miles per year. Advertisement - Article continues below Standard kit includes 18-inch alloys, LED headlights, a 10.25-inch 'Digital Cockpit' driver's display, eight-inch touchscreen with sat-nav and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, three-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and a smattering of other driver assistance features. Of course, with a car like this, space and practicality are the biggest selling points. The Tiguan Allspace offers three rows of seats, with those at the very back offering enough room for small children, and two sets of Isofix mounting points on the middle row. If you don't have that many people to ferry around, folding those rearmost seats gives you a massive 700 litres of boot space to play with. The 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine is smooth, quiet and produces 148bhp, which is more than capable of handling the school run or weekend shopping trips. It can also deliver solid fuel economy – over 42mpg, according to VW – and tow up to two tonnes. It's paired with a six-speed manual gearbox.

Wild moment tattooed scooter rider erupts at driver in fiery clash after he was sent flying off his bike
A shocking road rage incident in the middle of a busy Melbourne street has gone viral after being captured on dashcam. The incident unfolded in April, along Bay Street in Port Melbourne. The footage shows a scooter rider weaving through traffic at speed, overtaking vehicles in a busy lane. Just seconds later, a Volkswagen Amarok 4X4 is seen tailing closely behind, driving aggressively and overtaking without indicating. Moments later, the large ute slams directly into the scooter, sending the rider flying off his vehicle. But the situation escalates further when the scooter rider, noticeably taller and larger than the ute driver, who is wearing hi-vis, gets back on his feet. A physical altercation breaks out, with the ute driver seen covering his face as he's struck by the rider. The video has since gone viral on social media, with many users slamming the Amarok driver for his reckless and aggressive behaviour, despite getting pummelled. 'Wait, did the car intentionally hit the scooter? WTF just happened?' one shocked viewer wrote. 'Lock the Amarok driver up and throw away the key. Should be in a straight jacket,' said another. Others mocked the ute driver's apparent tough-guy attitude, which quickly vanished when he was confronted by the much larger scooter rider. 'A physical representation of Facebook warriors,' one person quipped. 'Oh no… the consequences of my actions,' another joked. 'Karma was swift in her delivery today,' a commenter added. 'I love me some old-fashioned 'f*** around and find out.' Old mate found out, alright,' another viewer wrote. Other people praised the Dashcam owner for sharing the footage, saying while violent, it was incredibly entertaining. 'Big ups to the dashcam driver for capturing the entertainment.' said someone. 'Can we all give the dashcam owner a round of applause for getting us the good footage. Bravo!!' wrote another. In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, Victoria Police confirmed they were investigating the 'road rage incident' 'It is understood that a grey Volkswagen utility and a white Piaggi scooter collided at the intersection of Bay and Rouse streets about 12.30pm. The scooter rider, a 38-year-old Dingley Village man sustained minor injuries. The driver of VW, a 57-year-old St Kilda sustained minor injuries. Both declined medical treatment. Both the driver and rider are expected to be interviewed at a later stage.' No charges have been laid and investigations continue.
