"The more mundane Honda Civic comprehensively beat it, ....". Wat da hell is this supposed to mean? Basically, the writer sums it up by saying the Lancer is a great car if driven hard, but for everyday driving (more mundane?), the civic beats it. Zzzz.

And get this, in the fact list, they clocked the Civic century at 6.4secs. For the Lancer, n/a (!?) Why? They couldn't time it? Top speed for the Civic is 240km/h while the Lancer is rated at 200km/h (I think they never 'caught' Madsurgeon or Bwtc lol.

Yeah....how d hell they drive, push on d pedal half way on d GT and floor it on d civic a?

Just keeping score - this make 3 seaweed 0 LGT!
Shoot out so far done by Autocar, Motoring (S'pore) and this latest one, Torque.

is it for real?...very fishy le...civic in 6.4 sec??how the hell they did that? last time i saw b4 on another car mag, if not mistaken is 9.5sec.
and the top speed...240km/h....hahahhaha..i just cant stop laughing...based on fact alone...u cant achieve 240km/p with just 155hp...thats fact

WTF! i chop mine if seaweed can clock 6.4! they took Type R VS Gt , is it? WTF!

boicott torque... say NO.. say TAKNAK.. 6.4sec? almost at par with M3 hehehhe...

Its is the new Civic TypeR ie FD2R timed at 6.4sec sprint and tops at 240kmh.
Thats what U get for a 1330kg/225ps/22.0kg torque manual 6 speed Civic R.
Someone with a crossed eye got the 2 Civics info mixed up.

i tik tis is all marketing war la..GT respond in sale is xtremly good..tats affected some xxx brand so than i tik BUYER la. comments n comparison after few months tat a new car (GT) has launched...come on...fishy izit..??

6.5 sec??? 240kmh.. not possible..confuse reader n tis is marketing war le..wakakakakak

maybe next time you'll see an evo x confused as a lancer. :D

Type-R civic la....

ask then type R vs evo.... common sense lar....

I think something is wrong with the stats. If you guys have the mag, just turn a few pages back before the civic and LGT shootout. The mag also reviewed civic Type R. And get this - civic type R top speed was stated as 231+kmh and its century dash was 6.0 sec!

Sigh... the editor didn't do his job properly la. How come top end speed for garden variety civic is higher than its more powerful cousin? And if normal civic is just 0.4 sec slower why bother to dish out 75k more for type R?

Shame on you TORQUE magazine. In their haste to "kowtow" to Honda, they have exposed their shortcomings. This is what happens when you just cut and paste here and there. They had the car for a few days to test and did not even do the century sprint test...purghhh.
