Be nice with, say, a GT4 driveline, though a GR4 driveline would be betterer.Oh no. I was only looking at the pretty pictures. Oh dear . Time to sell the children......
Just can't get excited about these. Should. Can't. On paper they tick all the boxes and are a perfect response to socially responsible driving enjoyment(ish) and draconian speed limits. But if I had $30k to spend.... I'd buy a used Golf R.
I'd prioritise handling over acceleration to be honest, these look like fantastic fun!Just can't get excited about these. Should. Can't.

If they had a turbo but....
I'd have one. I even like the current generation, waiting for them to get properly cheapJust can't get excited about these. Should. Can't.

No one claims theyre the fastest at anything, its more about the driver feel and involvement i think. I've only ever had them on short test drives a couple of times, but i get what they are trying to do and i quite like it. They've just never gotten cheap enough for me thoughOur xr4 is more or less stock power and is barely 100kW/t and it is faster on the sprint tracks than all these.
I hate it when I agree with youNo one claims theyre the fastest at anything, its more about the driver feel and involvement i think.

It's also related to the two worst cars of all time.Our xr4 is more or less stock power and is barely 100kW/t and it is faster on the sprint tracks than all these.
The gt40 and dfv powered things?It's also related to the two worst cars of all time.

It is little though. Perfect if you like racing through shopping centre carparks.The xr4 isn't fast.

When I was a student a mate of mine temporarily inherited a Subaru Fiori from his P-plater brother after he lost his license. Now that was a little car.
We all hated on its shitness, until we discovered that it was tiny enough to drive between bollards and posts at expensive places like the airport carpark, whereupon it became a challenge to see if we could go the year without ever paying to park anywhere.
I was trying my best to forget.You forgot the lovely Ford Mondeo.
The alloy head series 6cyl fords were probably one of the biggest money spinners in workshops across Australia. Having an alloy cylinder head so long, as soon as they sniffed a bit of extra heat they would warp and fail.
The pre 2006 ford focus models where a nightmare to mechanics and owners, very poor quality in materials, rubber hoses would disintegrate in no time and the alloy in contact with coolant was susceptible to premature corrosion.
