These are 2 cars based on driver enjoyment. They thought the ND was more fun to drive, which is was a lot of reviewers have been saying.
If you want a cheap practical car, buy a new Civic Si. That will probably be faster than both of these cars for less money.

That's my point - the base suspension 86 is still (barely, but a win is a win) quicker than the Brembo packaged RF on their test course, and is a whole shitload cheaper in the process. In fact it seems to win the majority of comparisons when there's any measurable value, but despite all this, the RF wins on some imaginary component.
Not that I really care about the results of the actual article; only that it's a great example of the arbitrary nature of magazine comparisons when you allow 'feelings' to outweigh actual comparisons of measurable data.
