CarTV review of 4 sport compacts including the SS/SC

I saw this and thought it was pretty interesting, some may or may not agree, but definately SS/SC beats Civic Si in my book. Take a look and let the comments ensue.

Oh yeah sorry if its a repost

They really praised the SS quite a bit. THey loved it, until you got to the insides. Siad seats sucked and had no support (G85 package would have fixed that) and said inside was cheap looking compared to the rest. That was their only complaint. Toward teh end they made it sound like the GTI was faster stock vs stock. Thats not the case and if Stage 2 was in there it would have been hands down win for SS.

Maybe around a closed circuit track, A GTI might do it. I doubt it.

Sounds like every other review. "This car performs great, but the interior sucks!"

I like to sit a bit more upright in my car. In the sitting position I like in the car, my knees are in the dashboard. Of course, If i move the seat back I have to stretch to reach the steering wheeling.
