mmm...i still think the ge8's biggest limitation is its crappy tires.
i'm pretty sure that even the fastest and best handling fit owners on this site would agree that if their fit was shod with crap-tastic tires, a stock fit with nice rubber wouldn't be too far behind in a handling contest.
if i was in the market for the ge8, the first thing it would do is buy wider 16's and put better rubber on em. its handling limits are NOT in its chassis, because the chassis itself is much stiffer, which usually helps with handling.
lol at the way japanese car reviewers sound when they are driving. hilarious!
and the gd3 really did pull its weight. it succumbed to second place being shod with an a/t. the mazda 2 seemed like it handles pretty well.
i will say that the engine note on the ge8 sounds much better than the gd3 though.
