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.

A. nobby's right. Your engine management system has put the car in "limp back mode". Take it to the dealer to get the system reset and figure out what tripped it.

what is the BEST compact Sports car on the market today?
Q. That is Made in Japan ??? Subaru? Honda ? Toyota ? Mitsubishi ? ... Type R...or something. have no idea which one to buy?
Asked by DKNY D - Tue Jul 29 04:39:11 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 is the best for the money (starts at $23K). The Civic Si and VW GTI are comparably priced, but nowhere close to the MS3 in terms of overall performance. A Subaru WRX is comparable to the MS3. With added AWD and depending on options, it will run you an additional $2-4K over the MS3. If you want to fork over another $30K or more new, you can't lose with any of the following: Mitsubishi Evolution X Subaru wrx sti volkswagen R32 (I know this car isn't made in Japan, but it is in the same class)
