You call this the “Sport Sedan Shootout” When there is only one sedan in the WHOLE bloody test!!!!!!!!!!!! " My sentiments exactly! The STi and R32 are hatchbacks, the 135 is a coupe leaving the EVO as the only sedan... meaning it should win by default no? lol :) Call me a traditionalist but isn't someone who buys a sportscar after something sporty? Comfort and practicality would be a distant second and third for a purist. A better title for this review would have been Germany v Japan under $75k! Duck says:

A beautifully built and superbly optioned car that is a great day to day drive and simply exhilarating when you give a bit of stick! Just one tip when driving it hard...windows down and radio off!!!... that exhaust note is simply insane!!!

The fact that the 3 x turbomills in this comparison can be upped in power with a freer flowing exhaust will further the difference in performance they offer. The 135i is the true street machine here, whilst the Evo & Sti are track & wet/offroad weapons. I could imagine myself smoking the rears of the 135i with the kids in the back...

Whilst not the fastest, R32 is a great all-arounder. Would have been good to perhaps include teh passat R36 sedan also. Good review. Whilst not the fastest, R32 is a great all-arounder.

Good review though. WTF Only the Evo is a sedan, the Beemer is a coupe, and the Golf and Subie are hatches.
