@stuntcrazy8 The peugeot had another problem and the French silenced it in any language..

Working with cars, I heard many stories of the steering shaft snapping leaving you in a rollercoaster with no controll.

My nephew was lucky he stopped against the guard rail on the motorway

my comarade was lucky because it happened in a parking outside am mall

and as for the new golf's... Theyre massive chunks of electronically restricted metal.

The only golf that ever made any status after the Mk1 golf, was the Vr6 and the R32's... which ditched the restrictive controll systems in favour of the technology they used in the golf(R32) and well, The vr6's were monsterous the second you turned off the traction control, the extra weight helped the handling out whilst the torque was just everywhere.

and as for the assistance front...Pinafarina designed the Peugeots. Giugiaro Designed the Vw's. And aerodynamicly they suck. Cosworth designed the fords, and put their badge on it, and you critisize? Look at which ones have become ledgendary. The capri Rs,The escort RS The escort cosworth,the sierra cosworth,the focus RS, The MK1 golf Gti, and the 205gti. Ford is the only manufacturer that stayed intouch with the feel that made the old cars so great. The new peueots, the honda's - just machines

[stuntcrazy8]

Now onto the note about prehistoric technologies. Peugeot STILL use the tried, tested and proven fail of independent trailing arm/torsion bar set up, which are known to bend, and cause rear end twitchyness and bad weight distribution as soon as they begin to bend. this is why so many people rolled both the 205 and 206's, and how the 205 non Gti models gained their nickname " The boat" Not to mention crashing in a peugeot/citroen is like sitting in a tin can with a rocket on and firing at a wall.

[stuntcrazy8]

As for the 206gti.... it was a flop. The civic type R was faster, looked better, and was wayy more fun, was was The focus RS. Golfs Flopped after the Mk1, and all reviews state they arent nearly as much fun. I remember watching a Mk3 vs a Mk1 on topgear or fifth gear, and the Mk1 was faster. The 206 is much like the new Mini. Its for gay/camp men, and girly girls.

[stuntcrazy8]

Hmm you seem to have a few sour grapes stashed up behind you!

can you prove that ford pay off tv producers in order to receive good reviews?

And as for the load of baloney you fired out about the FFOC review or what have you, dont know where that came from, but when i owned an orion 1600i, not only did it have abs, airbags, but it also had a traction controll system.

@stuntcrazy8 No they don't Ford just release "Limited editions" to keep people hooked on the brand. Because they sell so much rubbish which nearly always disappoints the first time Ford buyer they have to keep on selling these 'Must have' Fords in order to stay in business. Its like they are hiding behind a smoke screen using a trojan horse to fool everyone because I notice how they pay TV to say nice things about them being like BMW and Audi when they are one of the terrible trio.

[1ns4ne1d10t]

@stuntcrazy8 Where did you read that then? The FFOC? They print the worst comedy lies about Fords in the world. Its quite worrying how Ford can beat a GSI Cavalier when they can't uprate the entire car for the speed increases. While the GSI probably had ABS and Front/rear disks the Orion was still riding on lethal rear drum brakes with no ABS and thats why so many people died in Fords they all thought they were getting such a car for the money but Fords are all cost cut with safety compromised.

[1ns4ne1d10t]

@stuntcrazy8 Ford never ruled the hot hatch market at all the 206 GTI was the no.1 king hot hatch and the Golf GTi was the no.2 king hot hatch Ford never came into those brilliant car categories. Ford couldn't do anything good without assistance from Cosworth and generally speaking Ford never equipped cars without sticking a price tag on them to go with it which was more than better specced German and Japanese cars.

@1ns4ne1d10t Limited edition hatches are usually released in order to qualify a certain car for a certain race series. If ford were competing in some rally somewhere, and needed a 350bhp focus, if the rules state that the car competing, must be a vehicle also on sale to the general public, For example the ford siera RS500. 500 made, 500bhp road going rallycar basicly. Iconic?
