  1. The Evoque is an amazing light weight SUV. It is top of its class.

  2. I know plenty of people with BMW cars with no issues. Toyota are reliable but boring compared to BMW. Let us be honest here.

  3. The Audi RS5 is perfection and you do not even know this.

  4. +Diesel does things Poor men find many thing ugly that is why they are always drawn to failed systems like communism or pyramid schemes.

  5. Jags are as reliable as anything out there only a Toyota would trump it but who really wants a Toyota over a Jag?

  6. Now imagine if the same technology was applied to the V12. What sort of performance could it have?

  7. Daniel Banaru The RS 7 is more of a genuine 4 seat car were as the Mercedes S-class is focused on being a two seat car with limited rear. A Porsche 911 is a dedicated sports car. If you want a family car then the RS 7 would be the car to choose. If you want second family car then the Mercedes S-class could be used. And if you wanted a out right sports car then the 911 is the choice.

  9. Stacey McGrath The S class is the most Luxurious car there is on the market. The Audi cannot compete and I am an Audi owner as well.

  10. +milo The car looks beautiful and understated.

  11. That is what inflation does. You are going to notice a lot of other things become more expensive as well. Now the good thing about japanese products is that they are reliable but you are going to see them starting to make the products look a little bit more premium due to the price hikes that are coming.

  12. +Muddassir Raza Better is subjective. It depends on who you ask. I drive an Audi RS5 and I think it is better than any BMW on the market. Now go and ask a BMW fanboy and they will tell you something different. Both BMW and Audi make great cars and in my opinion their is probably not a difference in standard. Of course they have different styles and this means somebody like me will like Audi and somebody else will like BMW. Now do not bring Mercedes into this.

  13. It is no different to using a radio or looking at the dash.

  14. What is your alternative to a performance car? Mercedes, BMW or VW are just as expensive or even more expensive.

  15. +Genjinai It looks nothing like a Touareg.

  16. They are two different types of cars and Toyota are also going to get more expensive in the future as well.

  17. CSM1470 A Ford Monedo is about 30,000 cheaper than the GT-R. Why do you not buy one of those.

  18. Ankit Mishra What you mean by wrong is that it was beaten and you cannot accept this. Come on we all feel our pain. Just have good cry and it will all be better.

  19. It is a GT car more than a pure sports car. The M2 would be closer to being a sports car.

  20. +cox mox But would you not say that VW is better than Fiat.

  21. It is not a normal golf. A standard costs £25000.

  22. As he points out it is not all about high speed but handling and engine responses. In modern cars there is too much of an obsession with spec sheet performance such as 0-60 times and pure horsepower numbers. 300 horsepower is high but it is not ridiculous like the 600 horsepower figures on certain cars today. I had a Ford Escort Cosworth that was 230 horsepower at the time which was considered high for a 2 litre engine but to be honest it was not ridiculous. What really counts is would be the feel of the car and how it is engineered.

  23. It is more of a GT car than a pure sports car. The M2 would be more sports car.

  24. Golf GTI is a lesser car but that is what you are paying for. The new R is for a more premium buyer that wants a few extra points of driving performance. The £48000 may not be worth it to you and me but to somebody else it may be perfect. If you want a step up from that you are really looking at something like an M4 or Porsche.

  25. You must be joking.

  26.  @peterhammer6915  Sports cars are lightweight and smaller than a GT car. They tend to be more race orientated than a GT car is. There are plenty of GT cars that can keep up and even beat a sports car in a race but that is not the measure of a GT car being a sports car. Now modern Porsche cars are pushing more towards a GT experience which is not about their actual speed of performance. The M4 and 911 are both sports cars of sorts but sit on different ends of the spectrum. A M2 is lighter and more compact than an M4 which is why I would say it is leaning more towards being a sports car. Calling a car a GT or a sports car is not intended to mean one is better than the other but is intend to describe the cars characteristics.

  27. Full EV is simply not suitable for everybody and most certainly will cost a lot more money.

  29. The price is not crazy and is the new pricing you are going to see coming to the market. It is not the same type of car as a Supra. It is similar to a Mercedes AMG A 35 which is a performance hot hatch or a VW Golf R. If you want that level of performance in that body shape that is the new price.

  30. It is the same price as what VW, BMW and Mercedes has. People seem to want more expensive cars that they cannot afford. But as long as you feel that you are saving the environment and paying more for the privilege then who am I to say anything about that.

  31.  @AviationNut  In Europe V8 cars are for the wealthy. The only real options are Mercedes and they will cost well in excess of 100,000 Euro. Cars in Europe have always been for wealthy people rather than working class people. In the 1960s a Mustang could be had for about $2500 to $3000 and that was about half the yearly salary of an average American.

  32. For a modern car it does look really nice which I cannot say for many of the other large brands.

  34. gdwfs Bentley have a history of hand built cars and their interiors are amazing in terms of quality and beauty. It is like an expensive Swiss watch. Bentley do use German engineering on certain levels but it is still a British designed and built car.

  35. The interactive computer systems for modern cars are distracting and awkward to operate when driving. At night time all the screens dominate vision and distract from the road when that is where all the focus should be.

  36. More than likely there was multiple laps done in both cars. And the commentary was probably not the real lap.

  37. They all look the same because of regulations.

  38. +Dante Pena The 911 GT 3 RS for the tack.

  39. OCD can sometimes get in the way of life.

  40. I would have to call BS on this so called VS.  That M4 was all over the place while the RS5 was clearly making much cleaner lines.  The RS5 is a perfect track car as it is designed for clean handling.

  41. XC90 is good off road but not as good as a Range Rover.

  42. A ham and pineapple pizza can be very tasty.

  43. In America a GR Supra starts at about $43000 and a GR86 starts at $28000. A V8 Camaro starts at about $38000. Irelands over priced culture is all down to the welfare state management of the economy that is has an extremely high taxation approach.

  44. The platform of the car is BMW but it is still a toyota car.

  45. In America you can buy V8 trucks for not that much money.

  46. In America it has to compete with V8 engines and BMW 4 that starts at about $75000.

  47.  @mattyoz0  V8 engines are more common in Australian car culture than they are in british car culture hence why you will find more power engines in Australian cars. The only V8 engines you will find in British cars are in the $200,000 range of cars.

  48. Can be had for £120,000 but it will be an automatic.

  49. One car is a gt sports car the other is a hot hatch sports car. They are two different things.

  50. RS is cheaper but not as nice looking and is a different type of car. One is a GT coupe the other is a hot hatch.
