Replying to: carfanatic007 (Aug 05, 2007 5:31 pm) and no, its not irrelevant, its actually very central to understanding some of the things you type on this website. |

| about .3 seconds faster to 60 MPH, and is a blast to drive, very fun. | |

while all these Mazdaspeed3/VW V GTI/Civic Si are penalty boxes over bumpy roads. The Rabbit is luxurious, as its optional ipod includes a front center armrest w/ rear-seat A/C vents behind it, same as the GTI. Anyway, after my test drives, I've decided to own the 2.3 Focus ST. It handles way sharper, & especially its feel-ful steering makes it much more fun than the Rabbit, while still rides less nervously than even the non-turbo 2.3 Mazda 3S.

I've just had the pleasure of test driving the new 30th Edition GTI on a race track and boy it was good fun (extra 35bhp or so over Mk V GTI, 18 inch black alloy wheels, leather race seats, polished drilled steel pedals, etc). It didn't seem to want to let go on the corners no matter how hard it was pushed! I haven't tested any of the competitors cars mentioned here such as the MazdaSpeed3 or Honda Civic Si, but was wondering if anybody here has tested the 30th Edition GTI against these other cars and how they compared?

Replying to: charlietorques (Aug 09, 2007 3:52 am) the extra hp torque would be nice though!
