... yeah but the R32 Golf is a different car to the Impreza ... still an impressive package for £22,000 ?

Wish they'd test like for like, the Focus RS should have been compared to the STi7. Sour grapes, I know.

Why should the Focus go up against the STI7 ???

Focus costs £20k and the imprezza costs £20k?

Why should the focus go up against a car that costs at least £7500 more??

Top of the range Focus v top of the range Impreza is good enough reason for me.

Oops- forgot to mention there's only 1 Z in Impreza

Agree with Ali WRX and Michelle.

light and powerful is the way to go. The Impreza WRX is not that unlike the 'classic' Sti's

msp1, so you wouldn't complain if they put the STI 7 up against the top of the range porsche? Say a 911 Turbo 4?

Would that be a fair fight?

Seems that VW have got the combo right with the R32, maybe more so than Ford with the RS seeing as though the R32 is reckoned to be an excellent everyday car as well.

UB, I wouldn't bother looking up the 350Z. It looks absolutely awful. Saw it at TG a couple of weeks ago and it's pretty ugly. The presenters seemed to think so as well.
