Sometimes cheap thrills are all you need, as Honda, Subaru, VW, Hyundai, and Toyota aim to prove.
So which sport compact is the best do-it-all performance car—the one that is the most fun to drive, most stylish, and easiest to live with while also presenting a killer value?Volkswagen's Golf GTI has long been among the benchmark hot hatches on the market, so we were just as surprised as you likely are to see it not finishing this comparison. Blame the continuing supply chain crunch.
The downgraded rubber did the GTI no favors in this tough crowd; it regularly exhibited axle hop under hard acceleration, more noise than grip in corners, and sluggish steering reactions."This is the only car in this group that makes me feel like I'm driving 9/10ths all the time—largely thanks to the near-constant squeal of these tires," senior editor Aaron Gold said.
Compared to its turbocharged compact competition, the GR86 presented an altogether different driving experience. Despite popular notions of the car being the vehicle of choice for tail-happy shenanigans, the Subaru-built Toyota is surprisingly well-behaved, with talkative steering and exceptional chassis and suspension tuning that always lets the driver know just how much grip is left.
"Confidence-inspiring" has traditionally been used to describe Subaru's WRX, but judges were mixed on the new one. After the previous-generation WRX's dabble with road-focused performance, the new model is a return to form for Subaru, with an emphasis on all-weather, all-condition performance."The WRX manages to feel like the original from 20 years ago, evolved to today," executive editor Mac Morrison said.
