Somehow the new Mazdaspeed 3 missed the list even though it's noticeably quicker to 60mph than the Mazdaspeed 6 (scratches head). Don't you just love the Mitsubishi hate too. For one they can't even snap a picture of the right facking car. Then they managed to find the most expensive IX RS I've ever seen. I paid less than $30k OTD for my '05 VIII RS in early 2005 and I live in the Soviet Socialist Republic of California where I'm taxed like it's the Boston Tea Party. Other local people got their '05 RS for less later in the model year. Yay go C&D. Suck it bee-otches. If not for CNET's famous "eye-X" review this might just be the dorkiest review ever...

schmuck doesn't know Roman numerals LOL- what they don't understand is that the car is built for fun driving- not to be another techie lexus cloud-mobile. If you want gadgets, go buy a beemer- if you want fun go for a ride with an experienced EVO owner, I am D&mn proud the car we own and love is number 1 on C&D, even if they did get ripped on the price

whether the car is drag or redline limited depends on air pressure, temperature, and obviously wind speed.

I'm kinda glad a dumb car magazine like C&D put out those results, that way all the novice, dumb car people in the world can read about the magazine and fear our EVO's even more when they pull up to us at a stoplight..

The test driver must be too fat, more like 400 lbs +, to get the RS 0-60 at 5.1 Sec. I can do under 5 sec

yeah 5.1 is just redic... even though it still raped, it could have won by more. still though, its nice to see, in four magazines the evo has taken top 3 in a number of tests and 1 heads up between the sti... nice to have the reassurance that your car isn't a piece

It missed the list because it costs less than $25,000... the price range was $25-30k.

Whoever said the Forester is faster is on crack... let me know when it runs a 13.6 and traps 104.

Magazine racing SUCKS.
