btw, do you have a particular scoring system? Some of us are quite curious as to how the data applies, where possible, and how the non-objective areas might be assessed as part of the whole.

I agree, discrimination!

[BlastersPewPew]

Usability should also take into account "Utility" That would entail groceries, luggage, everyday things.

[TofuWarrior]

I agree, discrimination!

So, RWD is discrimination? What exactly am I discriminating...?

[Dragawn]

AWD and FWD ofcourse

[BlastersPewPew]

I like the fact it is RWD only, cant have everything in a car. Just make a really nice RWD sport compact and you should be fine

[TofuWarrior]

AWD and FWD ofcourse

Evidently you can't see the word 'challenge' in the forum area title.
