What they say about the cars and the order they rate them is totally different to all the other reviews i've read which place's them roughly in this order.

Civic type R

Golf GTI

Focus ST

Golf GTI Edition 30

Clio 197

Mini cooper s

Megane R26

Audi S3

Megane 225 cup

Golf R32

Muppets!

The above was from Top gear magazine who had the Stig testing all the cars.He said the megane was good on the track but no good for every day driving because of the hard ride.

I'm biased because i ordered an R GT yesterday so if you say different your wrong nah nah !

It is ugly!

I've read alot of different reviews - some put the civic top, some leave it out as a dissapointment! I had a focus st before my CTR and although the lack of low down power still gripes sometimes - drive the civic hard and its infinately more fun.

I think it has to be one of the most fun hot hatches to drive hard on everyday roads!

At the end of the day, its about personal opinion. Our's is correct and theirs isn't. Simple as that. e77.gifufo.gife07.gif
