While I am not a fan of Car & Driver [except for Mr. Yates],in the March '97 issue they compare 5 cars: Jetta GLX, Saab 900s, Contour SVT, Integra GS-R and the A4 1.8t. Cars finished in that order [GLX 5th-A4 1st]. Might want to buy the mag if you are looking to buy any of these cars. Or, thumb through it for nothing at your local bookstore:) Bruce
