    • @paulkennard5993
      @paulkennard5993 2 года назад +21

      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.

    Type R once again demostrating its remarkable engineering. Not only does it win drag and roll races against other FWD and manual gearbox competitors, but it can compete (and sometimes win roll races) against AWD DCT cars.
    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.

    You didn't test the Type R in R+ mode. It has 3 drrive modes and sport is the middle one. That is disappointing 😞. I own a 2019 Type R, I'm the original owner and I will never sell it. I would like a powerful normally aspirated car with a manual transmission one day as an addition, not a replacement. 😊
