You've been reading CAR magazine !

In the May issue they said exactly the same.

In 4 years I clocked up 80K in a Jap STi 5 Type-R with 308 BHP on tap and it did not instill the same level of confidence that I get today in my CTR. Balls out straight line acceleration was in fast jet territory but on twisty back roads in the real world the CTR just nails it. Fills every sense with what you need to drive fast.

What happened to the scooby ? Big end number four failed - engine rebuild required......apparently they don't go on forever.
