    Aww look who's sad because noone agrees with him. No, the AWD version does not handle better. Go bench race elsewhere

    Why do you have to be such a tool.

    Stop belittling others cars, and just fucking move on.
    You drive a talon and most people call it garbage. Some people drive hondas and most people refer to them as rice mobiles.



    EDIT: I assumed the OP is Mike (For those of you that know him)

    I think its mike vs gary
    And in that case neither due to driver error (turning left when its a right turn, accelerating on glenmore in instances where you should be braking) and it sounds unreal but completely natural to these two fine gentlemen

    I lol'd.


    On another note, I find it funny when people post a thread, then cry/make excuses about why the outcome isn't what they initially hoped it would be

    who are you again? pm if you want, but no its not a gary im talking about. Either way i knew that the majority of people would pick the civic for the cornering. Still even a stock dsm can do 0-60 in less then 7 seconds while the civic is still trying to rev to 9k (talking stock vehicles, not a turbo civic, etc). So even if it handled better, the dsm would still win a road course i would assume.

    Joe-G, I didn't once say anything on here belittling a civic, it was just a question... Yeah there are quite a few good handling hondas (one s2k was in the top 5 best handling cars i've been in).

    You didn't mention much here, but I've heard about you on on more than one occasion.

    Your attitude towards everything is that Your talon>everything else, and we get it. Also, you can't compare an NA civic to a factory turbo talon. They're not even in the same class. You asked which handled better, not which of the two would win in a straight line.
    I have yet to see you come out for a track day. You should bring your car out for once
