A sport compact is a high-performance version of a compact car or a subcompact car. They are typically are front engined, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive coupés, sedans, or hatchbacks driven by a straight-4 gasoline engine. Typical sport compacts include such examples as Ford Escort RS Cosworth, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Honda Civic Si, 8th generation Mercury Cougar, the Ford Focus SVT, the Ford Focus RS, the Opel Astra GTC, the Renault Clio V6/Sport, the Mazdaspeed3, the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V, Hyundai Tiburon, the Honda Prelude, the Toyota Celica and Scion tC TRD, and the Dodge SRT-4. Performance-oriented sport compacts focus on improving handling and increasing engine efficiency, rather than increasing engine size or conversion to rear-wheel drive. For example, the Celica GT-S and Civic Si are both sport compacts that produce 100 hp/ L of displacement, and have handling superior to their stock trims and other cars in its price range.

Q. Just trying to connect the dots here im trying to buy a car for the first time and im confused, at first im like the hell with it ill wait for the new evo or sti, but im guessing they'll be tooo expensive this time around? Asked by Jose A - Mon Aug 20 11:23:11 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. this is pushing the price envelope a little bit but bang for buck a Mitsubishi Evolution IX RS. You can buy it used for a little cheaper. It is just really fast. You could pick up a VIII for mid 20's in really nice condition. All wheel drive, 276hp, years of rally heritage. Low 13's on the 1320 and high 9's on the skidpad. Brembos, turbocharged, recaros. You can't get anything better for the price. The next best option would be a subaru wrx, sti if you can afford it, but the new wrx's work quite well. Answered by Corey the Cosmonaut - Wed Aug 22 18:37:07 2007 Recommended tires for a sport compact car? (Scion tC)? Q. I need to buy new tires for my Scion tC (FWD sport compact with upgraded suspension). Anyone recommend good performance tires? I'm currently looking at the Goodyear Eagle F1s. Location is Southern California (and the occasional drive to Vegas) so conditions are summer and rain driving, no snow. Thanks. Asked by Desmadres86 - Tue Dec 5 19:43:16 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. how much cash you want to spend? which Eagle F1 ar you specifically looking at? I'm assuming you want a moderately priced tire that will last long enough to make 3-4 vegas trips right? does comfort play a factor in deciding which tire you go with? do you have the 17 inch tires or the optional 18's? Answered by caliborn65 - Fri Dec 8 21:01:42 2006 Does anyone know if there are many differences between the 2008 Civic Si and 2008 Civic-Type-R?
Q. I've read that Honda is planning to introduce the Civic-type-R here in the US in 2009-10. I think that car looks real cool, a lot better than the current Si. I'm in the market to get sport compact car and am wondering if the type-R is worth the wait for one more year. I've read that the Type-R has abt 20 hp more than the Si and is more race tuned. Asked by snowman - Mon Feb 4 13:24:14 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. they are talking about a hatch but the chances of that is slim being the 2002-05 Si's were hatches and didnt seel as well as they hoped. a big factor in that was the rally inspired shifter. Sales have shown that the coupes and now sedans are more asthetically(sp?) pleasing. the fits are selling great because of the 4 door great fuel economy they have. it would be nice to see another performance hatch being a proud owner of the ugly duckling of honda, 03 Si, but dont count on it Answered by somedude - Mon Feb 4 20:25:49 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Sport Compact"
