thats a good read.however i dont agree with them saying the i4 has slow acceleration lol.i guess you could say it does stock but thats why you mod it.they want slow,they should buy a dodge calibur with a cvt trannie.

I appreciate that. It still has a long way to go though. Hopefully when it's done it will prove to be useful to those new to the world of 4Gs.

Speaking of reviews, it pisses me off that the Eclipse is always left out of the comparison tests, except against the G6 and Solara!?!? Seriously???
When testing GTI's, MazdaSpeed3, etc, no mag ever mention the Eclipse... I know the Eclipse is not a sports car, but a GT can easily keep up / beat these types of cars... Sure it's a heavy pig, but a sexy pig on 'roids!!!!

GS is slow in there eyes because they are the consumer. We on the other hand actually will modify our cars to some extent. The gs is still pretty heavy and slow, although the mods do make it more peppy
