We will agree to disagree
How the cora anyway - is it all back up and running (this is a geniune question)
disgagree how? astra gte 16v 10 years+ before a ctr was nearly as fast and also was a cheap car. in 1987 that was a proper hot hatch. do you disagree with any of that?

i pretty much skipped over all of it till you made a ridiculous comparison between a 15-20 year old astra and a new civic, it made me smile tbh

quoted for adams benefit. the astra pretty much wasnt far off those times, and was also affordable, yet came out in 1987. thats what the comparrison was about. but, you didnt read it and just wanted to post up something pointless i guess.

172 is nowhere near the car. Test driven one, build quality was shocking, not as quick as a CTR, not as reliable knowing French cars.

been in both cars racing the other and yeah, 172 is quicker and handles far better. was also cheaper than the ctr wasnt it?

i would say a 172 is faster than a ctr.not driven either but raced both and the 172 was pretty much even but i was pulling away from the ctr.not a lot but still pulling away.

astra vxr
r32 golf
golf gti turbo
206gti 180
mazda 3 mps
all cars aimed at the same market, and all cars are superior due to the civic allegedly being a hot hatch, its not aimed at having a nice interior is it. its supposed to be well rapid on tec init, which its not.
Same market hey???!! Now lets see here.........
clio 197 or 182....the 197 is a fuking shambles for a new hot hatch/182 has a shit clutch.....crap driving position..crap reliablity and is french.
astra vxr.....For 10K???? and it has a turbo
r32 golf.....New one?? 26K+?? Old one?? 10K???
golf gti turbo....MK5???? 10K??? Turbo again
206gti 180....These are fukcing crap too.
mazda 3 mps....Great engine but FFS just look at it

Also you missed few very good cars off your shitty list
