It was a big group test but having said it had a quattro-esque warble, tarmac ripping torque steer free steering, and stunning looks, they said it was a bit "ordinary down below" and wooden in corners reckoning the 16v is a better handler .

Supposed to be one of the best handling front wheel-drive cars ever made but the styling, straight line performance and interior can't hold a candle to the classy coupe Last edited by Tommy_Coop23; 06/02/2012 14:58.

I remember that one, A quote from it sticks in my head - "The Integra driver can only watch as the Coupé sails past into the horizon on a gail of turbocharged power" Here's another bonus article, as a thank you for taking the time to check out this thread Coopless!

Many magazines don't know their onions. Trouble is kids out there devour magazines and take everything they read there and online as gospel.
