Ford Focus 1.6 Ecoboost vs. Dodge Dart 1.4 MultiAir Turbo
Click to expand...

I'd choose the Focus over the Dart due to the fact that I don't like how Dodge is abusing the name of a previous muscle car. Additionally, I'll gladly take the Ecoboost over the Multiair Turbo (which I haven't really heard much about).

I'd rather have the Honda Accord...
 
Mazda 6 vs Fusion vs Accord: I'll take the Fusion since it's the new Mondeo.
 
Focus, Mazda. the Focus is my choice simply because it's not from Chrysler, and the Mazda is awesome!
 
I'd have the Focus and not just because I own one. I like the Dart, but the 1.4T is just a little too underpowered for it's weight and I feel like it's not as nice as the Focus is on the inside. The Dart is a good car though.

I'd also have the Fusion, but I'd think I'd rather opt for the double-clutch transmission in it and preferably the 2.0L. I can't stand anything about the Mazda6 and the Honda Accord, while a good car is just a little on the dull side.
 
Jeep Grand Wagoneer vs. Toyota Land Cruiser - LC because it's not just a box.

Audi S6 vs. Lexus IS F - ISF because it can be better than the S6 with performance parts.

Acura RLX vs. Cadillac XTS Luxury vs. Lexus ES350 Ultra Luxury vs. Kia Cadenza Premium vs. Lincoln MKS - Ooh. Ooh..OOH! Umm, The ES is out for it's outdated styling. The XTS is out because of it's price. The MKS is out because it's not an MKZ. Between the RLX and the Cadenza, I'll pick the Cadenza because it's cheap and it's not something you see every day (or never, I've never seen or at least noticed one.)

Ford Focus 1.6 Ecoboost vs. Dodge Dart 1.4 MultiAir Turbo - I'll take the Dart because I think this gen. Focus is just meh..and have you seen the Dart in black?! :drool: :drool: :drool:

Mazda Mazda6 Sport vs. Ford Fusion 1.6 vs. Honda Accord LX vs. - The Ford is out because. Between the LX and the M6 I'll take the 6 because it's just awesome and the Accord is..well, a Honda.

I don't like the fusion because it looks like a wannabe Aston Martin I mean... Look at the grill! I would choose the Mazda 6 it looks absolutely stunning in red.

I like the Mazda, but it just doesn't look right to me. The Honda is out because it's a bit boring. So Ford it is!
 
I'll choose the Fusion, even though I haven't mastered driving a car with a manual transmission yet.

Honda Civic Type R For Me for Obvious Reasons.
- That Independent Rear Suspension
- More Practical/More Space
- Doesn't have the Torque Steer of the Focus from the Diff
- Is More Fun than the R32
- That VTEC y0!

I think I'd have the Honda as well. I've always liked that gen of Civic hatchbacks. Especially the '05s for some reason.
 
I'll take the Focus as it's more of a hooligan. The Golf looks dull inside and out and the Civic doesn't get my vote because VTEC is overhyped, underpowered and overly past it's sell-by date.
 
Well as I own an EP3 I will have to go for the Focus, mainly because the RS model is pretty rare, it looks awesome and is quick too. The interior is a bit cheap and tacky compared to the Civic and Golf but I'd rather not have another EP3, and I simply prefer the RS to the Golf.

^ Although the Dart (or should I say the Fiat Viaggio in Europe) is a very compelling buy to non-car people especially when the GT rolls out. But the Dart does not have a hatch, and my pick goes to the Focus easy.

^ The Fusion is out because it's the heavyweight here. The Accord LX is too bland for this comparo. If it was the Sport trim, it would be a tougher contender, but it wasn't. The winner is the Mazda 6 for me, too bad no wagon in the US. :indiff:

^ I'd take all of them! My daily-track warrior would be the EP3 Type-R, my all-weather mountain/high/freeway cruiser will be the Mk.IV R32, and my car meet collector special will be the Foci-RS (because rare).

Rs Because ............. I did. Cant remember what number i had but it was phase two with the pink throttle cable. It roared on full throttle , whistled on lift off and handled like a dream (also stated by all reviews). Driven all three, R32 is to heavy and Vtec is only good for, showing off. Rs is Rare and has the rally Pedigree. You say doesn't have torque steer.........you sure as my friends goes left on launch (still slow).
 
Civic VS Focus VS Golf

This is a tough one. The Focus is ruled out because it just looks too ridiculous, but the Civic and the Golf are both very nice cars. The Civic looks a lot more interesting on the outside, but the Golf's aged very nicely like other Volkswagens from the era. The Golf has a higher quality interior that like the exterior, has aged well compared to the Civic's interior, which while it's also a nice interior, it looks cheaper, and the layout reminds me of an upright minivan. The Golf's also all wheel drive and has a six cylinder, which makes it that much more special. I'd go with the Golf, because while it doesn't look as nice outside, it's aged better, and is more special.

Public Transportation

:p
 
Geo Metro, anything is better than public transportation. Also the Geo gets insane gas mileage so it would be stupidly cheap to run too.
 
Public transportation? That's a different option. :lol: But I'll go with the Geo. 1. Because it's not public transportation. 2. Because it's probably cheaper to run.
 
I'll choose the Ford because I think its a little bit more rare and its better than waiting at a bus stop.
 
Anything but public transportation. I'll take the Geo and this one got these awesome 90's stickers on the doors. + 15 HP
 
Civic vs. Focus vs. Golf
I'd choose the R32... I've always loved these but never really pursued owning one. I remember riding in one several years ago and loved the sound of the VR6 stock exhaust. Additionally, I'm a fan of AWD and although that is additional weight, I still think the R32 would be the most fun to drive.

Geo Metro vs. Ford Aspire vs. Public Transportation
That's an easy one... Geo Metro hands down... Before the Toyota Prius was released what other car got better gas mileage than the Geo Metro? Sure it's probably one of the least desirable modes of transportation, but nothing beats the freedom of not having to rely on others for transportation. Additionally, there is no waiting for a bus, dealing with transition points, or in some cases being left without transportation late at night.
 
Honda Civic Type R (EP3) vs. Ford Focus RS Mk1 vs. Volkswagen Golf R32 MkIV

I'd take the Golf R32. I like focusing my eyes on its compactly packaged tautness, straightly flowing towards the slightly flared wheel arches and the squarish edges. It's got compact bulkiness without fatty cheekiness. And I believe it would be the most enlivening out of the three to drive fast and listen to. I'd take the EK9 Type R if it's in the list though, even if it's technically inferior and more outdated. Not really into the looks of the EP3. There's something about the proportion of the Mk1 Focus RS that I'm not very fond of as well.

Geo Metro vs. Ford Aspire vs. Public Transportation (wat?)

Public Transportation's out of the question. Except if you mean I can take that bus as my own and drive it. But never mind, the thought of me trying to drive something that huge, long, and tall sounds rather...err...well it's making me nervous somehow. And I don't know anything about the two cars. Well only a little bit if perhaps not accurate. Isn't the Geo Metro something made in collaboration between GM and Isuzu? I think I'll take that, just because it seems kind of...interesting.



Now...a selection of two bonkers, high-powered lightweight roadsters. One bears a legendary name. The other one doesn't, but it offers greater performance numbers. Yet both are very similar in spirit.



2012 Shelby Cobra 289 FIA (no, it's not one of the genuinely original ones from the 60s, but it's one that you can still buy today as something newly made, yet still fitted with some of the old-school parts; see http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/02/shelby-cobra-289-fia-quick-spin-review-video/ for more details)
