Sorry, Autocar again ..
FYI, next weeks edition of Autocar, is running its annual, "BRITAINS BEST HANDLING CAR 2003" test. 32 cars with one surprising winner! The RX8 is included in the test.
Eyes peeled. AnilS. |
Bah no spoiler tags
|
Should be interesting to see who has paid the most and wins ! ;)

You'll all be suprised... and it wont be by who hands over the most cash....I thnk...
|
I'm slowly starting to believe that money does make the world go round! Whats the odds that Mazda have thrown a sackful of money and upped the BHP on the test car ? Chance would be a fine thing.
|
Probably the Focus RS.
Autocar love the RS whereas most car mags and journo's have found it fundementally flawed. As we all know Autocar critiscise the RX8 when most other mags have praised it and given it top marks. This probably disproves the bribe theory as they are both Ford owned cars. Maybe they are just idiots? :D |
To be honest, the magazines don't care if ultimately Ford own or control Mazda, all they see are two different brands of car.
|
I can honistly say the winner isnt bought by cash (so long as its the car I think it is).
Its a 12 year old car after all.... |

NSX ?
|
Its 12 years old , but you can still buy a new one....
|
Lotus Esprit ? (thats probably older than 12 years and didn't they stop production recently due to the lack of renualt boxes)
|
I read something on an MX5 forum last week saying that the MX5 won some Autocar poll of polls - best car or something.
So I'm guessing its the MX5. |
yes but the NB MX5 was released in 2000 ... so its only 3 years old.
|
and i'm sure i've seen G plate old style 5's, so that's '89, 14 years old.
|
you can't buy one of those new though can you
|
So,
Who's gonna post a scan of the article then? |
Whoevers going to scan the article, will have to wait until the 26th Aug when its out. My opinion, its not going to be a supercar that wins it.

Tried to pick up a copy this morning (6:30 am) but to early for the newsagents to see what had come in. Has anyone managed to pick up a copy ?
AnilS. |
MX5 won, but the 8 did not fair well. Talks of too much body roll, and not enough power. Will post the snippits of review later, unless someone can scan it sooner. :mad:
AnilS. |
I thought we had already dismissed Autocar because they didn;t know their a*** from their elbow ?
Are we now taking notice of their opinions again ? I cant keep up ! |
Well, I have to agree that the mx-5 would win it for me, since I've owned 3 (as '5s or eunos') over the past 5/6 years!
Don't worry about the '8. They'll soon change their mind when the public vote with their wallets. |
