carwow you’re forgotten the mercedes E cupé 🙌😅
carwow i agree the audi TT is impresif but its small
2:40 No way the Mustang is the best looking car :P
shame about the interior..they should let the germans sort that out for them
To drive american muscle cars you need american gas prices.
For context, we managed to get better mpg out of the R8 V10 Plus...
10 speed auto is coming soon. It will get better.
As an American who lives in a gas and oil state (so prices are even lower by American standards) I totally get it. I studied abroad in London in 2008 and saw those gas prices..by the LITER not the gallon like we have in the USA...yeah I would not go with an American V8 in that world and would likely opt for the Audi.
But since I live in the dry and hot American Southwest with 300 days of sunshine and low gas prices, the American V8 is not a problem. These cars do very much reflect the environment in which they were born. All great cars.
mustangs only for the flex, but ist actualy worse in everything usefull
@@carwow I bet you didn't.
Hands down the best car reviews on RUclips! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Tuomas! We will :D
So much better than the scripted tick box dry stuff of the past, not exactly chris harris, carfection or recombu but not too bad!
Certainly very informative.
yes
5:18 to 5:31 - The guy aged bloody quickly
Beni Barker lol
LOLLL
Beni Barker 😂😂😂😂😂😂!💯👍🏻
LMAO
Lmao
'It's the least manly' I genuinely LOL'ed :)
I’m so glad you actually have a conclusion. I hate videos that get to the end and then just go “they’re all winners”
Great review. It's great to see Matt shining at his own channel! He's just so much more natural than any other reviewer atm
This was a pretty fair review of all of the cars' you didn't do like most people and bash the Mustang
Usually it's Mustangs bashing people, right?
You just insulted owner of this channel!! Hope you get banned idiot can't even take a joke!!
hahaahaaaa Good one smh.
This. Someone pitted the Mustang GT up against the M2. They are NOT the same kind of car. The GT is just a big muscle car, the GT350 is the track version. The GT350 and M2 are just about the same price too (USD).
+chbrules that sir is an m235i not an m2 ;)
in England they might cost about the same, but in the USA the base Mustang GT starts at about $10k less than a base M240i. the BMW does definitely have higher quality standards but you're paying for that with the extra money.
Buying a Mustang at any stage, is a purchase made by the heart
1:22 - The best phrase ever in the history of mankind
The US is known for building big muscle cars, which are fun. But the quality is one of the worst in the market!
@Nick They are in no way more reliable. US made cars have the statistically worst rates of breakdowns, the exception being their electric market such as Teslas.
US has the only true muscle cars, which were never meant to compete with higher priced German cars. Get a Corvette for that.
@John Small stuck in the 70s are we?
At least u get soft touch dashboard from a Fiesta
I live in the US and damn the quality of the cars here sucks pretty bad
In my opinion:
Daily: 2 series
Weekend: Mustang V8
Balanced: TT
That TT isn't even a sportmodel, yet it kept up really good with the other two
Yeah, it surprised us - it's almost 100 hp down on the M235i! That's what four-wheel drive and a fast DSG gearbox gets you. Over a longer distance the Beemer would claw out a bigger lead though.
4wd is just superior in a drag, would be fun to see a longer drag between these cars.
carwow yes, that was actually what I was thinking of. The length of of your drag "strip" cannot have been that very long. How long was it?
The location which you chose to introduce is the best background and road. Videos with info. really amazing. Keep making. This helps many of us
my fav channel on youtube
keep up the good work!
0:20 Those guns!
Mat Watson, simply the best car reviewer ever!
As someone who owns a V6 TT 8J as a daily, I don't want anything else! It's so nimble, quite fast and has that extremely unique 15° V-engine sound!
Wookie, luv it.
I have the TT now, before I had an M135i (so basically the same as the 235i). I never get tired of looking at the TT, inside and out is gorgeous and decent room in the front seats. It feels light and nimble and goes where I point it and I like the grip and control from the Quattro (only really noticeable on wet roundabouts tbh) and it's reasonably quick but the performance feels very underwhelming after the BMW- in that there was a huge surge of torque from low revs and an incredible sound from the 6 cylinder engine that, unlike the Audi, wasn't faked. It felt bigger and heavier on the road and honestly on a twisty British B Road the TT is probably quicker- at least with me driving because it inspires more confidence.
But if I was choosing again I think I'd take the BMW purely for the performance (and only slightly less MPG, 31 versus 33). The Mustang doesn't even get considered because the fuel and tax bills are insane in the UK
Hi, I had a MX-5 ND1 160hp (sold it) and now am considering the 235i golf R i30N and the audi TT and TTS.
How was your experience withe those? Should I save some more to get the m235i/TTS or get the TT 230hp? And how were the running costs?
2:42 killed me. I just discovered carwow, subbed.
Wait... in the UK the 230hp Audi TT costs the same as the V8 Mustang??
Yup.
I'm in Oregon USA and that Mustang us on sale $28,999, the BMW cost $39,000 and the Audi $42,000.
The V8 Mustang in the UK is like the equivalent of $43,731.
In the germany fully equipped the Mustang GT costs 45k, 235i (240i now) 57k, TT quattro 50k. (€)
Cars are cheap in the UK (if you earn a wage in British Pounds £s of course). Mustang GT is £35k, Porsche's start at around £39k, and the mean-average wage in the UK is £27,000 - just to give you a frame of reference.
The cupholders on the Mustang are not on the way of the gear shift. You have the steering wheel on the freaking wrong side.
😂😂😂😂😂
I agree with him on the cup holders but I have a 12 boss 302 havent been in the s550s
That comment would make sense if the cup holder wasn’t in the middle. Doesn’t matter what side the steering wheel is on !!
Great video. I laughed a lot while watching it. Also very good reviews. Very nice
Why would you fit a child seat in a 5.0 V8 Mustang?!
Why not, you do know you can drive normally in a mustang right
Gautam Gopinathan to get to the other side?
No Surrender no to get into the crowd
It's First ahahh the classic MUSTANG DRIVER SHOW OFF FAIL
Because you totally wanna take your baby in your mustang and let him have a headache from that beautiful V8
I thought you were going to go for the TT! The straight 6 in the BMW is mighty fine.
Amazing review!!! Keep em coming!!
How refreshing to actually get an answer at the end of the review. Brilliant stuff. Send a CV in to the Top Gear offices won't you, I hear there may be a vacancy soon X)
The great thing about any 2 series is the modification options. There are many upsides, mine now hits 60 in 3.9, can be heard from miles away with custom burble options from comfort to full race modes and can outrun most anything, including the scatpacks. There are however severe downsides. Any warranty is nullified as soon as you start adding stage upgrades, intercoolers etc, and with the fuel mapping system, I get an abysmal 11mpg.. less mgp than my hemi.... but is it worth it.. Absolutely!
Says a 2017 Review but they used an older Mustang? 🤔
Matt showing off those gains !! First biceps 💪 then triceps 😂😂
The best car reviewing video I've ever seen before.
Thanks Yiyao!
How come this video is not listed? I accidentally found it on carwow. Aren't subscribers supposed to get these videos first?
I'd personally choose the Mustang just from exclusivity alone (at least here in South East Asia). I've seen a couple of 918s, P1, a few LaFerraris, Huayra, Koenigsegg etc, but I have never seen a single Charger/Challenger, Camaro or Mustang!
I wonder why..
JanusPrime No right hand drive version of those cars. And the new Mustangs hasn't arrived yet.
Beef Broth What about the cost? Does a Mustang cost a lot less than a better car in Asia, like it does in the US?
There's none in the dealership yet, but the one that I asked estimated it to be at least 50% more than a Golf R. Due to exclusivity markups (only a few imported per year) and engine displacement taxes.
well for me the audi tt is the best since i've only seen 2 so it's really exclusive in Belgium(Antwerp) i see too much mustang's and bmw's :p
There you go, three of my favourite cars all together.
Yay! I own an m240i and this makes me happy
I wonder what i could drive when BMW didn't exist on this earth. I would rather skate 100 miles
Thank you BMW
ill cut my legs
Is it just me or Matt looks like a older Tom Holland?🤣
Haaaa
U articulated the look alike that i did not manage to figure!
I own an m235i and love it. Also the 0 to 60 is 4.8 in the auto not 5 plus as quoted here, that's the manual.
Very nice review, Mat seems such a nice fella^
Watching this is a motivation for me to study harder
lol I almost died at "the least manly" part hahahah
How come the rear seats in the mustang are so small yet the BMW 2 series has plenty of room I also notice this on the BMW m4 compared to the mustang
Any chance you would review 2017 BMW 240i? or even more purest BMW, 230i? i mean, both b engines
Good video as always Mat :) Such a little difference between about 200 bhp though.. (TT vs Mustang).. It´s all about the power to weight ratio and of course the 4wd. 200 bhp more gives you a 0-62 time improvement of 1 sec (TT vs Musang). The first 100->200 bhp gives you an improvement of maybe 4-5 seconds. It's all good tho. I like all these cars, each for it´s own reasons.
it is all about dual clutch transmission vs stick shift on the fist yards... in the open real world like the Autobahn a Mustang GT flooring at 100mph would leave both TT and 2series crying out loud for more power... I have driven a 432hp Camaro stick for three years in Germany... u need to come up with a RS4 C63 or M3 if you realy wanna race a big power cheap US V8 Pony car ...
+nagmashot Yeah I know.
There is actually an automatique Mustang (california special)
Looks: TT
Interior space and good all rounder: m235i
Raw power: Mustang
Looks: Mustang
interior space: audi tt with that great virtual cockpit
good all rounder: bmw
raw power: Mustang.
Getting left behind by other cars: Mustang
Bad performance: Mustang
Which car in order has best car speakers?. Really wanna know about the TT
Could you please review the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt! 😍❤😁✌
Audi RS7 review!
i wonder how much these cars cost now after the brexit... Hmmmm
You do realise the pound plunged before the Referendum even finished.
96 million pounds
+Roble Mohmed each
+Jamoi And even further after they announced the result.
They haven't even left yet lol. That was just a vote. It'll be a couple years before they leave.
You sir are the best reviewer on the net.
i can watch this man all day
Just a bit of constructive criticism: I feel like the audio in carwow videos is not properly normalized, the volume is all over the place. I've never had that problem with e.g. Motor Trend, you always hear everything without adjusting, but with your channel I always have to crank up the speakers to hear and then brace for when it gets too loud again. I hope that I'm not the only one. Otherwise great vids, I love the content and image quality.
that is right. sound has definitely got some room for improvement here.
i was going to say the same thing.
I think so too. I have to run to the volume knob every time music is running on. Other than that I enjoy those reviews a lot.
Yep!! Very true, there are some inconsistencies.
Same here
m235i start at $55,000 in California. Mustang GT $31,000. Audi TT $51,000. Add the $1850 in additional sales tax and $800/year insurance premium. These are not comparable cars in the States.
Best review channel on RUclips
Is something wrong with the bmw' hood?
MPC/ HD, one of the two locks were wrong closed. The end ambient of the video shows it in straight
Driving fun:
1. Mustang
2. BMW 2 Series
3. Audi TT
Quality:
1. Audi TT
2. BMW 2 series
3. Mustang
The BMW stays in the same place just chillin' in the number 2 spot XD
Yeah
Well if you compare the mustang to most American cars or Japanese the mustang will feel It's European!
besides that you can pretty much buy any thing for the Mustang in aftermarket thats' what its' made for
bmw after audi and after after after after we have Toyota and Honda and after we have mustang
2014 M235i xdrive is my daily. I'm happy. the noise inside and outside is great. It likes reving and the twinscroll turbo works great. instant 450NM @ 1300rpm. The xdrive system works great here in Switzerland..Doesn't matter if the road is dry, wet or full of snow. My weekend car is the 2014 PE R35. The m235i often uses more fuel than the r35. The m235i isn't boring at all.. and the weight ratio is 50:50..
Plz do the mid-size crossover comparison - Q3 vs X1 vs GLA
Can you upgrade to the digital climate control etc after purchasing the car? I have a 65 reg TTS with the standards, and I must say it is bugging me a bit. Would be great if I could upgrade.
My Favorite is the Mustang
If it was the TTRS With the sport rims I would've had my money on the Audi
In that case BMW M2 😊 is brought in
Is there any particular reason why you tested the automatic M235i while there is an manual option?
guys you are the best at these reviewa
if you take the BMW 235i to the comparison, then you should take the TTS aswell. Then they would be more comparable
There was a budget in this video of £35,000. TTS costs over £40k.
Gabriel Vanya that straight six engine cant be matched unless you go with ttrs 5 cyl it sounds beautiful
benanderson89 , so did the M2. He even said so in the video.
agree!!
Butthurted audi fanboy
Of course the mustang won the drag race. I think this comparison is not quite fair. The only thing u can compare is the price. However I agree the M235i is the best of the 3.
wow, well done on the drag race! I thought one of those autos in the germans would've won for sure.
Hey Matt..can u please do a review of the BMW M2?
I was ready for the mustang to run into the filming crew 😂
Remember the NCAP saftery rating for the mustang is only 2/5 ✨ stars
Because that test is rubbish. Mustang is safer than most of the cars with 5 stars because you get points for assistance systems.
Who cares?
Charlie Smythe you will car if you crash it
Car Reviews don’t crash it is the simple answer
Charlie Smythe lol
Impressive biceps Mat!
He doesn't need any more ego massaging…
" A bit of a knob"
Brilliant
Honestly, we can't stop him
How much Cayman starts in the UK ?
Sorry I don't know I'm from India.
Hi Nakul, the 718 Cayman (300hp) starts at £40,000 before you've added options. £49k for the 350hp Cayman S.
Even i'm from India :) the Mustang costs around $90,000 here :(
+Toyota Prius Toyota Prius why ? Toyota Corolla would be a better name
My name is a joke, Read my channel description.
+Toyota Prius got it bro. I'm from jaipur
Wtf is an Audi TT and BMW 2 Series next to a Mustang..
Quality
Reliable?...
I know. What the fuck is the mustang doing near those quality German vehicles
They're similarly priced
carwow y
Please keep the volume of your video consistent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quattro in Drag Race was great. Less horses but at the finish line it was so closely
"It's the least manly!" absolutely loved that one!! :DDD
The ford is 3 times more expensive compared to the BMW or Audi in my country
7:56 32mpg when it says 31, lol, tbh may Watson’s the best car reviewer on RUclips
Is there a particular reason why you did no review on the Mercedes C Coupé? I was kind of looking forward to that one, I think it's a missing element in this test.
But as always, a lovely review to watch, thanks for the lovely video's you make! :-)
Hi Koen, we've filmed the C Coupe as well - it's coming out soon. Thanks for the kind words!
That's great. I'm really looking forward to it! :-)
If it was in this test, would you rate it better or worse than the BMW 2 series?Thanks for the reply!
BMW M235i has the best driving and the best quality......
My father's 16 Z4 is a complete piece of junk breaks down all the time. very poor customer service and the technicians don't have a clue or aren't trained properly.
Best quality and BMW
You are living in a Phantasie world
..and the most practical
@@joddaley6510 So, just because the BMW dealership where your FATHER lives, is not up to standard, that means the whole company is junk right ?
See how stupid you sound now.
Nik Gnashers not to mention he named another model and year...wtf does a Z4 have to do w a M235i?
I literally laughed out loud at the 'Least manly' part haha
Wow these new TTs are smth amazing
I've never expected a car reviewer would give that pose " least manly" lol. That was fun, keep it up carwow.
M2 !!!
That 3ltr engine in the beamer is a brilliant
Peter Sothern that english of yours is a brilliant
Pretty fair comparison. All depends what your looking for.
Daily driver is different to a fun car and the Mustang has lots of fun. I have a 2010 so not as powerful and the "ordinary" handling but still fun and no issues on normal roads really. I have owned a BMW 535 (2012) and while it went well it was boring to drive. As for the TT I have never had won and as one of the comments below says its a little like a girly car for me.
I might be biased but I would take the Mustang for weekend fun (in a convertible) and the BMW for daily drive
very nice gear changes!
7:30 - bonnet not closed properly or a body panel gap problem?
later on in the video, the hood is closed fully
Bonnet operator problem I'm afraid
+carwow
Fire him.
@@emilen2 STFU LMAO 🤣
Should have compared automatic 4 cylinder turbo Mustang instead of the manual V8. I know the logic was pricepoint matching but in reality this comparison makes little sense.
good presentation man really interesting all the way
Cheers Ravi
They should just make the TT a 2 seater
BMW anytime anyday will take that over an M3
Facts carwow dickrides the audi in every matchup, bmw interior is cleaner and better looking, not as luxurious as audi but unlike audi bmw has no cheap plastics in the interior and no one ever brings that up
BMW best .... love u BMW
I like how the hood is one pull open on the bmw through the whole video.
Yes, 235i all the way.
Shame they gave you a black one to test which hides subtle styling which becomes apparent in Melborne red or Estoril blue.
The problem for the mustang is a used E92 M3, no contest, plus we have yet to see what residual values you can expect from the Mustang
tt=golf gti
tt s=golf r
tt rs=rs3
Anis Rahman "rs 3= golf r"
mustang!!!!
Throw an APR tune on that TT, combined with the Quattro system, and that's what I'd choose. However, the interior on the BMW is more practical.
Is it just me or is there a large panel gap between the bonnet and the left headlight of the BMW?
