SV,

I put down the cars, not the people. You put down the people for their opinions.

When I rented a Corolla, I expected awful handling and numb steering. I got loose handling that was still lots of fun in the twisties. When I test drove the Golf R, I expected nothing and got a great car with a great interior and fun handling. Too bad the price is too high, the fuel economy is too low, and the electronics make track days unfun. The Focus ST has great suspension and a solid engine, but every criticism I had is dead on. The Mustang was just miserable. I passed on the 135i because it's too heavy with too high maintenance costs, and despite fixed fuel pumps and injectors, I don't trust the 35i engine line at all. Too many dead turbos. I would have loved to turn up that boost though. 400+hp is dead easy on those. Little more than intake, exhaust, a chip, and e85. Then there's the RX8. So much cheaper used and handles like an FRS. It even shifts better and makes getting in thbe back seat easier. However, the fuel economy when sucks and the engines have all sorts of issues, from broken apex seals to hard starting. I don't want the headaches.

So before you go insulting people, which you seem to do often, start paying attention to the facts.
