i think jap mobiles are actually really well built. for the money an evo 7 has to be one of the quickest cars you can buy, not just in a straight line but round bends aswell.
prezza's are just poor mans evo's and skylines, well, theyre not as quick as theyre hyped up to be. a mate has a gtr v-spec one and another of my mates has a 350bhp cossie. the cossie wastes it from start to finish its as if the skyline was a 1litre fiesta racing an rs turbo.
i mean vw's are built well, ive noticed that the last few days from lying underneath mine fixing stuff, and yeah, the gti ive got on a b reg 1985 is far far cleaner than my j reg nova gsi. a lot more solid so they are going to outlast most cars about.
crx's, oh dear, what a terrible car. i guess they designed the back seats around small japanese people.
