I agree also on the Mazda 323/Ford Lynx.

In the end, it still boils down to who's driving what. I'll vote for the Sentra driven by Niky... given he decides to turn off the a/c... hehehehe.
And I thought I was the only one smoked by those vans. Going fast is one thing, but the way they throw those things into the downhill corners makes my hairs stand on end.

The Civic SiR is fast as well. It's the only Honda apart from the 2.4 CRV that feels like its got decent torque.

From the choices though, the sentra feels like it has more low end torque than the lancer.
