By the way, does the Turbo S have the same brakes as the GTi? I can't remember. I want to say that the Turbo S might have bigger brakes, but I don't know.
Maybe the RSX, Celica and Eclipse were excluded because they're fastbacks.

And if they had the car I am considering buying, the WRX five door, in there, it would have been no contest. You can get one for $24K even with all the fixins, it is too short to be called a wagon, and it would have kicked butt over all these contenders.
It is a shame they have watered down the Civic SI tho. I had a late 80's CRX SI, which was similar but without the back seat, and it was a hot little car. It defined the segment then, but I guess no more.
Too bad they could not get a mini for this comparo, that car looks great. However I think it would have been too underpowered to win, so maybe it is just as well.
One thing a "hot hatch" should have tons of is handling - how come all the ones here are so porky and/or undertired?

I tell ya, they really need to put that "rolleyes" smiley face on the townhall.
