Other cars in class: Civic, Mazda 3, Focus, Jetta, Prius, Corolla, Elantra, Spectra, Cobalt, Ion, Forenza. In this test, the 2.5i had the worst top speed through their emergency handling maneuver and the WRX was third worst. If I recall correctly, this test is a 1 lane change and back with cone walls. The test is to see how fast the car can negotiate it at a constant speed without hitting cones.

Civic EX: 54.0 MPH
Civic Hybrid: 52.5
Jetta: 55.0
WRX: 53.5
2.5i: 52.0
