Sport Compact Car Comparison Part 3 So we just finished round two of this comparison test of the racetrack. Now we are out right here on public road for round three on this eight car automobile sporting car test.

So after three rounds of exhausted testing including instrument testing, hot lapping at the race track and the evaluation on public roads, the winner of our eight car.
