Vredestein Sportrac 5

Vredestein Sportrac 5

COMMENDED

So close, but not quite enough for Vredestein.

The Sportrac 5 provides a decent balance between wet and dry ability, proving particularly effective on wet surfaces with a string of top results.

The usual trade-off is revealed when we assess dry handling, but it held its own there.

The only area where it paid for that wet superiority was in fuel economy, where it was a fair way behind the best.
