I would be more than happy to put my car up against quite a few of these so called "sports compacts" and I can assure you, they arnt getting away, even on some of the real twisty roads like the GOR. whatever tiny amount of handling edge they may have (and many of them simple do not have anything close to an edge) would be gone the moment they come out of the corner.
Things like the CRX, WRX and 3 seriesBMW's certainly have the handling and even the go, but the vast majority of cars sold as "sporty" compacts are anything but.

Cheers mate. Naa I wasn't questioning your experience, rather, just trying to get a more 'real' aspect as to whether it's worth it or not. In other words, try to remove any bias (if any) from your statement
