^ Depends what you mean by comparable - they are never going to feel the same to the driver, as I stated in that post, but that does not mean the MK7 might not be as good or better as a driver's car, just in a different way - much as the Megane was found to be.
The Evo bias argument I find questionable - nobody here complains about rave reviews of the twins being biased. If anything Evo's bias going in favoured RWD cars - they were very surprised that the FWD Megane drove better. So I don't really think Evo has an axe to grind - it's just their perspective has been shaped by driving boatloads of very high-performance cars, very hard, on an almost-daily basis. So it's partly that they are jaded, and partly that their collective driving skill level is so far above the average driver's that what excites them is a car that has a much higher threshold of challenge or difficulty than the twins do. It's more engaging for them to master a high-threshold car, whereas for the average driver it may be more of a PITA to deal with, or even a deathtrap.
