Performance alone does not equal a sportscar, I don't like them myself, but an MX5 is more of a sportscar, a GTI/R is a very fast, practical hatchback and as such a much better allrounder, but not a sportscar.

http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a28225/sports-car-definition/

"In the postwar era, a "sports car" was any car that seated two, had a soft top, and could be used for competition.

... there are cars out there that should not be referred to as "sports cars"

•Hot hatches, like the GTI

... the term "sports car" to apply to things that are truly sports cars, or close to them. The Miata. The Porsche 718 Boxster (not the 718 Cayman)."

According to that article the MX-5 aka Miata is a proper "sports car". Hot hatches are definitely not.

Sitting in the dentists waiting room the other day.Reading a copy of EVO mag.Pleasure before the pain. :sad:
They obviously rated the R very highly.Comparing it to the legendary MK2 GTI 16V.'A modern day equivalent'.
They reckoned you should forego the wheel upgrade.Stick with the standard wheels and spend the cash on DCC.
Of course i drive a diesel so i'm just saying..... :wink:
