.............have you been most dissappointed with after driving them or being behind one?
You know the sort of cars I mean, great figures on paper, loads of hype etc etc, but then when you have first hand experience of one its a total let down!

The guy who's company car it is totally loves it. Always going on about how great it is and better than his previous Mondeo. Then i had to travel across to the other end of the country in it one day and it was not a very nice experience.

for one, you had a barge estate, and secondly, powered by a big smoky diesel mofo. try the Octavia VRs.

I would if someone gave me access to one.
I would imagine that the interior ergonomics are similar to the estate though in which case i'll still be very disapointed.

Very suprised by how slow the rx8 really is, same with the st170 (pile of poo) not very impressed with those celica t-sport jobbies either.

the ST170 was pretty awesome when it came to corners though. I could keep up with an ST170 in my Sport in a straight line

Corsa C Easytronic...sorry, but the gearbox was just pathetic....
New Renault Megane 1.4 and 1.6 just nasty over reving easy-stalling cars.
Old Focus....horrid gearbox and nasty dash/general styling.

Nah, had the E36 M3 Evo before I had the 200sx and the P1.......worst car I have ever owned! Big wallowy barge, no fun, clinical etc etc!
The Clio was a let down. Lad I know was in front of me in one last week, I thought round the bends it was gonna be nippy but it just wasnt I was having to back off constantly. I though, fair enough I do have nearly double his power etc etc so I had a go and was equally as let down! Suppose i expected too much of it!

M3 Evo is very well set up for road use
Your the very first person I know to describe it as a wallowy barge!
Are you sure the bushes werent perished through years of hard cornering?
They generally let go about 60-70k miles
