You tell 'em JC.
edit: although those times were all faster than the gt86, still the most fun to drive I guess.

Clarkson has too many flavor of the month cars is my only gripe. I was watching an old video with the RX8 and he made it sound god-mode as well.

No surprise there. All of those hot hatches weigh over 3000 lbs, are above 55" in height, and are FWD. Tall, heavy, and FWD? Not really the right recipe for fun IMO. Would still love to take a Megane RS out for a spin though.

I laughed so hard when he concluded with "get the Toyota GT86" hahahahaha what a slap in the face to those hot hatches! I gotta say though, that Vauxhall Astra looks downright sexy! Looks like it was designed by the same person who designed the Buick Regal Turbo?
