Default Bang for buck

Picked up a copy of motor for August and found to my suprise that the WRX has WON the "bang for buck" this year beating 13 other cars. It did so by peeling of a 13.89 0-400m time which is not bad at all.

Not a bad read. They all still hate it but the lancer came 11th LOL.

It's not really surprising, considering the amount of performance you get for 40K.

Interestingly, they hated the Ralliart.

Yeah, but back then the judges liked the car as well. New one did well against their bang for buck criteria but the judges ranked it down the order.

Seriously though. What did it have to compete against that was Australian delivered south of 100K?

For 40K there was never anything that could come close.
