Very good read! Not a lot to add really. Seems if you are a very good driver it is possible to tame a GT4 but not an RS. In which case even if you are a superstar its limits are still very high. I quite like that. I do now understand that with lesser cars the enjoyment factor can be greater. Before choosing Molly's Polo GTI we test drove a Fiesta ST. What a fantastic thing it is, I was convinced I was dancing it around corners. It was all about thrash and revs and the need for a baseball cap. To get an RS to perform the same way would be out of the question on any road plus a large shot of ability would be required. Having said that I'll keep my GT3RS, nothing wrong with pretending! Anyway my two days booked with Ivan from Total Car Control will soon turn me into a driving God!

As said in a few article's now; Ultimate garage would be to have both. I really am smitten with the GT4 - can't understand how anyone (MrD) could find it a tad underwhelming. Maybe they are the 'superstars'
re 'lesser' cars - You can't beat a 'rude', everyday HOT hatch. I'm hankering for a Megane 265 Cup or Mini GP.
Best review I have read. Differing conditions on different tracks. Lots of laps. A reviewer who is unbiased and very thorough. I have no doubt at all that my RS has capabilities I will not be able to exploit but it does provide a vivid companion to my 7.1RS and is hugely capable on track while being a surprisingly capable road car. It is a far more comfortable car off track than my 997s were.
Not having driven the GT4 the review was a very credible description of what is evidently a superb car.
