[QUOTE]A seven-car shootout to find the King of Corners.

Seventh: 2011 Volkswagen GTI

Highs: Progressive, easy-to-explore limits; supportive seats.

Lows: Inability to turn off stability control holds back this car

[GSBoek]

Fourth: 2011 BMW M3

Highs: Stable, confidence-inspiring, rides extremely well, comfortable seats.

Lows: Mass compromises agility, steering is light and lacks tactility, persistent understeer.

Second: 2010 Lotus Elise SC

Highs: Ultralight weight, world’s best steering, unmatched purity.

Lows: Tramlines, unspectacular lap times, will hurl its rear-heavy posterior, loose-fit seats.

Fixed. :D

didn't expect the R3 to be up there, but I do agree with "needs more engine"

[Carbonized_GT]

I knew the R3 would be on there. I am a bit surprised that it ranked as high as it did though.

Rotary <3.

no surprise with the RX-8 - one of the best cars ever built.

Also - where's the Cayman S?

Also - where's the Cayman S?

This

[GSBoek]

I skanned through the article to see if there was any mention of it but nothing. I guess it was either the Cayman or the Boxster and they just chose the latter.

[marc]

also - GTI? Really?

GTI gets its ass handed to it on a regular basis by the Civic SI, which gets its ass handed to it on a regular basis by the Mini Cooper.

So where are those cars?

[GSBoek]

It's a car mag, VW probably paid their way into the test. :chuckles:
