They think those GTI seats are the picture of subtlety?

Why didn't they include the Fords??

I wonder how an Si with the difference in $$$ of performance mods (engine, suspension, etc.) would compare.

Yeah I don't get comparing FWD to AWD.. :-/

They say it's a comparison of sub $30k cars but with a difference of $5000 between the Si and WRX, it doesn't seem fair. $5k worth of mods to the Si and it would rival the WRX

How about in snow? but I agree. Definitely not a fair comparison. A lot of sites/companies compare cars that shouldn't be compared.

Agreed.
