As the only car with less than 200 hp (197), you might think the Civic Si has no place in this fast company. You'd be wrong. Sure, its acceleration numbers may lag behind the turbocharged mayhem unleashed by some of these challengers, but Honda engineers have been tweaking Civics for over 20 years, now, and they know a good balance when they find it. With limited horsepower and even shorter reserves of torque (139 lb-ft), you won't win any drag races, but keep the engine pinned at 7,000 or 8,000 rpm and the precise steering means you can lose a lot of challengers in the turns thanks to its little weight (1,310 kg) and superb balance. The Si is a joy to put through a slalom, never putting a foot wrong with the front limited slip diff balancing torque between the front wheels when powering out of corners. The Si is also graced by an impeccable interior with a futuristic layout that some will love, and others, well, won't. While Subaru is not quite as old a hand tuning its go-fast compact car, the WRX nameplate has earned plenty of credibility as a more economical version of the rally-bred WRX STi. The 2008 Impreza WRX we had puts out 224 hp and 226 lb-ft of torque (the '09 will make 265 and 244, so stay tuned), which is right in the middle of this pack. However, the WRX's trump card is Subaru's symmetrical AWD, which puts power down 50:50 front: rear for surges of acceleration that will warp your perceptions into thinking it's the fastest, although it falls a hair short of the Cobalt SS according to Motor Trend's numbers. The long suspension travel and low centre of gravity developed for Subaru's WRC campaigns also translate into a smooth ride over even the harshest roads, and there's no doubt that this is the only choice for year-round grip and performance. Being the safest car in the compact class doesn't hurt either, but you pay for what you get, and the Impreza WRX is one of the most expensive in this group, starting at a heady $33K.
