Either the civic or m2 but I’m leaning more towards the m2 because the civic will probably have under steer

Actually Civic has less understeer than the Audi.
I saw I think about 5 or 7 battles on internet between these cars and in the lead are the BMW (because rear wheel drive fun) and the AMG.

Type r doesn’t have V-TEC, they straddled turbos on instead. It would be something else with V-TEC
IMO.

My guess was correct! :) By the way, Focus RS is missing for the ultimate test

But anyways, for me it is the RS3 or M2, depending on whether I need practicality or not…

Civic Type R feels like a tool which was designed for the sole purpose of being fast at the ‘ring and winning all the track battles, rather than a car to live with. Its just not for me.
A45 AMG is the oldest car here and I just don’t like the way it looks and sounds and so on. Also it seems to me like a show-off car more than a driver’s car.

M2 would probably sound even better with an aftermarket exhaust, but its definitely the most interesting car. RS3 is like mini-RS6: can keep up with sportscars with ease, yet is the most practical car there.
