Our SVT Focus was actually a decent car (for us) but it doesn't hold a candle to the Euro-spec ST. And we haven't had a Civic Type-R since...well, I don't know, the late 90's I think, maybe early 2000's. But our current SI is decent with 197 hp but not enough torque. We also don't like 'screamers' - driving to work at 9000 RPM just gets old quick.

Where as thats a little insulting, gona have to admit thats true lol. But to be honest, the Euro version of the new Focus SVT or whatever it is, doesn't look to bad.
