I would like to add that, once the Swift's motor is broken in, it should be churning out well over 73 hp.

You just said quaife.  Isn't that like vaginal farting?  Haha...haha.  :lol:

I'd go with the VDub Rabbi.

And it needs it because it only has 4 speeds.

I started this thread as a joke, but they're actually pretty close when it comes to the specs!

The Swift is like a modern day Rabbit.

I should add my former 1990 Civic Hatch STD autocrosser. It was also blue and had a 70 hp 1.5L.

Rabbit has a "hare" pun. I don't think that Swift is a punnable name.

It's not a pun if it's true.

I'd go with the MG if it were reliable.

Has it broken down on me? No.

The MG unreliability is a myth if the car is sorted, just like any other car, especially made before 1980.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

I think a lot of FWD (and AWD?) cars do that.  :huh:

I think it only happens if they have a really stiff rear.  My friend's Civic did that after he modified it.

I wonder if my car will do it.  My springs are a little softer than the GTI, but other than that, it's practically the same.  Of course, GTIs have better tires stock, and I think front grip has something to do with it.

The results of this poll were entirely predictable, yet still disappointing. Swift's first rallyx will be in two weeks. It will dominate. You will see.
