Description

© Best Motoring International, Japan, 2007. NOTE: Please mind this is a referential video only. Please note VEHICLES ARE FULLY EQUIVALENT IN TWO SEPARATE GROUPS (namely two automatic compacts: Subaru Impreza S-GT AT, BMW 130i automatic and two manual compacts Mazda3 MPS and Subaru Impreza S-GT AT) whereas a fifth car is also referenced (automatic saloon: Subaru Legacy B4, larger vehicle with a separated boot volume). It is worth noting that ALL VEHICLES WERE EXPRESSELY DEVICED FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE DRIVETRAIN SYSTEMS. All of these vehicles are also highly comparable as all of them carry their engines at the frontal part of the vehicles.
