In light of so many defections, it has become appaarent how blinkered car owners can be.
Don't get me wrong, when you are part of something, you defend it, but it's funny how, so often, you dismiss something as rubbish without any experiance at all.
A bit like in school when you were a "SEGA" boy, and slated all things Nintendo, not knowing what fantastic games you were missing for your prejudice.
I think the GT is something exceptional, and honestly still think there is not another "hatch" in it's league. all your saxo's and what not don't compare....
...do they?
I mean, My Pug (the skyline is irrelevant here) is as much, if not more fun than my GT ever was. Ok a large proportion of that is down to my total disregard for crashing it, but the main reason is the handling. it's awesome.
now jeremy has his CTR and is blown away by it. he'd expected it to be wheezy and slow, but it simply isn't.
maybe there's a large phscological aspect, and when he meets Komi in a race, he might lose. but again, the handling, the versatility is making him rave.
I still think the PGT is something else compared to N/A hatches, and still believe in it's giant killing abilities, but it is funny how mny people move to cars we slate... and love em :)
