Everyone likes to think the type of car they own is better than any other, but this cant always be the case. But anyway, I have driven 165's, 185's and 205's and I reckon the 165 handles the best. It doesnt have the power in standard form, but with suspension that is in good nick they handle great. That is your opinion and I can respect that. Its a given that everyone has different experiences in different cars cause we all have a different driving style, and we buy our car based on those experiences, so logically you buy a car which you think is the best. Taking the analogy a step further, after buying a car that suits your driving style should, in theory, allow you to get the best from that type of car. i.e. being able to push the car to the limits of your abilities. I can take things right to the edge in my 185 which is something i didnt feel comfortable doing in an MR2, maybe because i like to power out of corners more than a RWD car would allow, i like a car that is point and shoot, and thats the 185 through and through. I can only assume that people who have experienced understeer in a 185 have entered a corner too quickly, overpowering the driven front wheels ability to turn the car, but the tried and true method of cornering an AWD vehicle is slow in-hard out, as opposed to a RWD car, fast in-easy out. As my type of driving style favours the former I find the 185 a joy to drive and cant accomodate people who will blindly say its shit. There are too many variables to make an accurate conclusion as to which is better. one is FR AWD, the other is MR RWD, there are differences in weight distribution, gear ratios, wheelbase, suspension setup, infact the only real similarities are the badge and the engine. All im saying is take care not to blindly dismiss something that someone else feels is worthy just because its not your preference, my original msg was pointing out the racing heritage, years of engineering and final conclusion that the 185 was arguably the most dominating rally car of its time.
