You are right, to each their own. But I prefer a car that handles to one that can go really fast in a straight line or rally crossing.
the tennis metaphor was horrible.

a fast or slow car is the deciding factor in a race, the fancy or plain racket is not the deciding factor in a tennis match.

if he had any clue, he would changed french open with jgtc or f1, good racket with gt500/300/formula, crap racket with hyundai.

guess what? i dont care who drives the hyundai, i dont even need a race preped gt car, a stock base porsche boxster is enough for me to to run circles around the hyundai.

if someone wants to talk about WRX/STi's potential or performance, he should discuss it in other cars forum.

really, no doubt about WRX/STi, i had driven one before, but, c'mon! everyone knows that, Fit drivers got it not just for the performance.

if Fit drivers are that performance oriented, they would have got it at the first place.

The Fit has more than enough potential in its class, 1.5, ok? not 1.6.
FWD, not RWD or AWD. Non-turbo, ok? not turbo-charged. Just stop comparing Fit to other Supercars, it's kinda silly.
