I love the idea, 200 bhp rear wheel drive for 25k, if you don't need a hatch then why buy any hot hatch over this?

POWER!

I'd have the Meg personally.
200bhp is plenty for the road unless slip roads are your thing  :signLOL:

It's very similar to a VTEC though in that the power only comes in way up the rev range. Likewise with the torque. I like a bit of waftability.

Some quotes from Evo: grips too well, fundamental lack of performance, nasty engine, little urgency, no accelerative spark, teeth-gnashingly awful sound, performance is limp.

It's the torque figure (159 lb ft @ 6400 - 6600rpm) that means it doesn't offer the accessible performance people were hoping for.

The GT86 in Spain is the only review I have read from Chris Harris. You can prove me wrong...

The quotes from evo would be relevant wherever you drove it, anyway each to their own, like I said, I love the idea and reviews are great but tbh I doubt I would notice any of these things as I can't drive like the boys from evo, all I know is, I prefer na to turbo and rwd to fwd, and for the money sounds good to me :happy2:
