    It’s drag race time!
    Mat’s lining up in the latest VW Golf R, and he’s going head-to-head against a BMW M240i & a Honda Civic Type R!
    Does the Golf R stand a chance? Let’s check out the stats! It’s powered by a 2-litre 4 cylinder which is good for 320hp & 420Nm of torque. It’s also equipped with four-wheel drive, and it tips the scales at 1,550kg.
    The Civic Type R also has a 2-litre 4 cylinder under the bonnet, and its power is almost identical to the Golf, producing 320hp & 400Nm. However, not only is it only front-wheel drive, but it’s also a manual! But at least it’s the lightest car here, at 1,395kg.
    Then we have the BMW. It’s housing a 3-litre straight-six engine that can produce 374hp & 500Nm. It’s also equipped with four-wheel drive, but it’s the heaviest car here, at 1,690kg!
    So how will it play out - will the BMW’s weight prove the difference? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

    • @paulkennard5993
      @paulkennard5993 Před 2 lety +20

      Yep - and I'd look closely at the residuals for the R too. I bought an AMG A45 in 2016 as it was only about £75 more per month than a R due to a far better MGFV as the lease companies were not going to be deluged by them 3 years hence. The Golf also felt like it needed to be thrashed to come alive, whilst I could enjoy the 45 in Sport+/Race mode everywhere and in Comfort my wife could just pootle in it. This time I went for the M240i XDrive as the Golf seemed too dear, the 45S a bit 'bling' and although I thought the M3 Comp was awesome when I drove it, I just couldn't see, day to day, where my extra £30k would have gone for 95% of the time. Mind you, ordered in January and no clue when it'll turn up...

    • @leccybadger

      I bought an M240i and never even considered the VW as an alternative...why have 4 cylinders when 6 is so much better and smoother. The performance is staggering when you want it, the car trundles around happily and quietly when you don't and is a very lovely, quiet and comfy place to sit in. One very, very happy owner indeed. 👍🏻😁😁🥳

      Pretty ridiculous. I could predict the outcome to begin with. Watched it for the brake test. The CTR isn't even remotely made for launching like a third of this test is based on. Those German cars are tailor made for that kind of crappy stuff. Not to mention launching places tremendous stress and strain on the clutch and box to handle that kind of power and torque. The 50 MPH test makes more sense.

      I agree with you. Totally predictable outcome. However the cars in this video aren't all about quarter mile times. They're not drag strip monsters. Especially in the UK! They're about balance and handling. They're about feel and driving skill. Its about the thrill of driving. The feeling you get from a quality car that performs well on that empty stretch of B road, when you're in the mood and everything is just right. That's the point of these cars. Drag racing cars with vastly different power outputs and power delivery is pointless and erm... missing the point.

    Then when you factor in its performance around the track, faster than basically all its competitors in its segment including the 2 cars here, then you start realizing why the Type R is ahead in the engineering department. It's such a special car.

      Thats just not mat watson wants. He’s only interested in straight line performance

      Small differences in same class vehicles, mostly dependent on tires. So they would need to fit identical ones.

      I have one. Great performance not many hot hatches can live with it. However, not much character I part’exd a 2018 focus rs edition. Worst decision of my life. The focus had much more character, rawness and too be honest noise! Id swap it back in a blink of an eye.
