Comments by "Scott Z" (@ScottZ370) on "Auto Express" channel.

  1. I actually love this type of 'different but the same' comparisons (because they are both performance cars), I would love to see something like the Focus RS vs a E92 M3 or even maybe S8 vs R8 V10 (non plus) to see how close they are?
    161
  2. Only a few cars being built today that I still get excited when I see in the flesh and the Alpine is one of them
    115
  3. its gorgeous. 
    95
  4. Fair play to the SVR, surprised it even came that close
    41
  5. 6:04 Over 900kg? Surely not...
    30
  6. Its more expensive so they could use lighter more expensive materials
    29
  7. Kind of irrelevent, you would just buy the Golf
    24
  8. It really is an absolute bargain at just under £40,000 if you think about it
    22
  9. Nah I wouldn't say your points are very fair. The Porsche has 4WD so it will be more stable hitting the kerbs, it also has softer suspension meaning it is less likely to be thrown about off the kerbs. Flying lap is how races are done, the M2 isn't a drag car so why start the race like one? Short track is a odd complaint as well.
    21
  10. Who doesn't do a best of 3...a one off drag race is so unprofessional, A hesitation off the line so surely that means a retry?
    19
  11. Very true, it will definitely go down in history as a car that woke up the supercar industry (much like the original NSX)
    19
  12. To be fair there definitely is a decent gap in the market for this sort of thing
    19
  13. B45 AMG 😏😏👀
    16
  14. ***** I think he meant the M2 should be much more lighter because its smaller.
    15
  15. Wasn't really if you look at their exit speeds at the 1000m mark, R8 is doing 162.3mph and the R8+ is doing 168.1mph edit: Oh upload9595 just said the same thing
    15
  16. I knew that RS6 was fast but quicker than a 458 spider well that's crazy, think I have a new dream car
    14
  17. Can't wait for the DBS, I think the body needs a bit more anger in it for my tastes and also if the DB11 has 600hp the DBS will probably be pushing 650-675hp
    14
  18. The i3 would be an excellent company car but for long road trips you will need a weekend car
    13
  19. For a start you it now costs around £31k without an auto which the RS3 has. If you get an auto its £33k. Secondly you lose over 60hp and a hell of a lot of torque. Thirdly to get a M135i up to the spec of the RS3 you will need to spend a good 5-6k so now you have a £39k car without AWD and without a modern chassis and slower!
    13
  20. This was a great video, AutoExpress have either stepped up their game or the GT8 is just unbelievable
    11
  21. I wouldn't lose any sleep, since the Clubsport S is limited to 400 units and is far less practical.
    10
  22. +Nik Brudar They are a magazine company primarily and they won't be making much money from YouTube in comparison so it makes sense
    9
  23. Think of this as a Baby Supercar
    8
  24. Still a very interesting comparison
    8
  25. Shows how little this guy knows about cars since he wants the paddles to move with the wheel
    7
  26. Except with the 718 Cayman and Boxster (sorry not sorry)
    7
  27. Auto Express have been nailing their videos recently, also finding their magazines to have got better recently as well. Keep it coming guys
    7
  28. Hate to say it but that Corsa looks miles ahead of the Fiesta
    7
  29. AM say it's not because I think the deal was to work together on the V8s but people don't fully believe Merc haven't helped or had a input on this new V12
    6
  30. You hav £50k to play with, you want a fast luxury German car but you are not sure if you are willing to get a M2 when it's so impractical. Porsche make good sports cars so you think hmm I need a practical sporty car but is it as good as the M2? This video answers that...no, but god it is near enough that it almost doesn't matter. It's not always just for the online people, but actually for people buying these things!
    6
  31. Haha Peter found you speaking to the camera hilarous
    6
  32. VAG have really stepped up their interiors recently
    6
  33. I'd even watch a review of a shopping trolley if Steve was doing it
    6
  34. David Sanderson Why do most full on performance car's and racing cars choose to have them disconnected to the wheel then?  You will have to let go of the wheel and work out where the paddle is if they move with the wheel even more than if they were independent.
    5
  35. Got to say I do love the PORSCHE badge on the rear, looks great.
    5
  36. your knees? haha
    5
  37. dominicancash You can also do the same with a civic and get 370hp and 500+nm which to do in a Golf would take a tune and a bunch of supporting mods
    5
  38. people with these cars mostly never have people in the back, so its a good compromise for cheapness, lightness and still able to open it
    5
  39. Salatiso Mdeni Nah because the main appeal of that car is the launch off the line ngl
    4
  40. 3.7 to 60?!
    4
  41. I'm sorry guys but I would choose the A45 any day
    4
  42. Rory Woollacott He didnt slow down...look at the window as he lets go of the throttle...you can see the bar which is on the finish line
    4
  43. A lap time comparison would also be really interesting between these two
    4
  44. Guess its to stop putting off some more sensible (boring) potential customers and they know some people who want it loud will go get it made very loud
    4
  45. I mean vRS has never been the last word in performance
    4
  46. If this was avaliable to 16 year olds like a motorcycle this would be a massive seller (of course) but to be honest its a thought?
    4
  47. Speed is pretty meaningful to be honest, still I'd take the R34
    3
  48. For me the new AMG-GT is the one to get
    3
  49. A good video idea ruined...slow gear changes and a stupid non-objective 'twist.'
    3
  50. Next time do a Hyundai i10 vs 918, short track so yeah they should be within a second of each other
    3
  51. Sorry one more thing, the RS3 is £38,820 so quite a large chunk under 40k
    3
  52. Kaisuke971 It really is struggling now though, but still it has the price point to its advantage
    3
  53. Take that fifth gear!
    3
  54. Ahh ok fair enough that's a good idea
    3
  55. I think if I bought a R35 GTR I would strip it out anyways, they should do 2 models one with the luxuries then a cut price lightened one for people who don't want a GT car
    3
  56. Hmm I think if I was in the market for a F-pace I would save my money and buy one of these
    2
  57. @gamertanafc a Leon cupra 280 is more like 30k
    2
  58. So it's not very fast but if they put a decibel measurer it would be the quietest
    2
  59. They should have gone down the design route of the F type rear end for the XF.
    2
  60. I'm sure a lot is piped in but yeah it really sounds great
    2
  61. never seen so many +1's in a youtube comment stream
    2
  62. You can have the normal one as an option
    2
  63. Yeah guess its hard to get sarcasm across in the comment section, 'Surely not...' was me doing a sarcastic comment lol
    2
  64. +karlmalone11 They shouldn't have bothered making the video tbh
    2
  65. want to say wait until they get to a corner but I'm not even sure if the C63 Black would be any faster round a bend
    2
  66. Probably not because the RS6 will demolsh it in the straights and the AWD means it can put down the power straight after a corner where the AMG will struggle for traction also the AWD will grip harder in the corner itself.
    2
  67. MrHairyTeabag Yeah recently AE seem to be advertising Seat products (part of VAG) so might not be impossible they let the Panamera win I struggle to believe a car reviewing company will be that corrupt.
    2
  68. Still closer than expected, which I guess isn't saying much
    2
  69. Well the Leon is a super bargain but this does have another 100hp pretty much and quattro and a very good quality interior. The RS3 is still a bargain but the Leon is just amazing value for money
    2
  70. Nik Brudar I don't buy this idea that understeer equals slow. Journalists are always saying how Audi's understeer but the majority of journalists just want a car which can oversteer, so there's a huge bias. The RS3 of course will understeer before oversteer but that's AWD for you, but I guarantee this thing is faster through a corner than a M135i. You look about 14 and I'm sure you haven't driven a car at all let alone to the point of understeer, and trust me if your under steering on a road or even a track your driving badly, journalists can get to the point of understeer safely on a private track but on a track day you will crash if your driving that badly. So when journalists are saying that a car is understeering what they really mean is it isn't able to oversteer.
    2
  71. Is it AWD though?
    2
  72. Maybe the green paint
    2
  73. Think nissan run very tight security so didn't let a camera man on the track and possible they didn't want a outside photo of the car at the moment
    2
  74. Dont know when this was filmed though
    2
  75. Sid Acidic You seen the one on car wow? SQ7 vs Civic Type R vs S/C MX-5
    2
  76. ***** fixed
    2
  77. ***** Don't think they would that is expected, maybe AMG GTR vs GT3 RS then they would be annoyed
    2
  78. Hmm the back looks dodgy again, really just not a fan of this generations rear lights saloon and estate
    2
  79. God you two have issues ;)
    2
  80. Nah Tommy Fan I don't think that's true, the R8 and Huracan sell to different markets
    2
  81. I always told myself that I was happy getting the Ibiza over the Fiesta ST because of the Fiesta's vile interior but now I can't. However not so sure about the rear, looks a bit C-Max to me
    2
  82. I would probably agree with you but I'd rather have a normal ST and take it to Mountune because £23k is stupid money for a Fiesta.
    2
  83. Can already imagine a Type R version
    2
  84. Jaggguar
    2
  85. You thinking the Golf R is tuned?
    2
  86. 1st gen to 2nd gen was the biggest change now they are just perfecting it
    2
  87. o3tomas beat me to that comment
    1
  88. The bonnet looks just abit too long, but then again it makes it stand out and adds sportiness
    1
  89. sounds like a Golf Gti on fast forward
    1
  90. £50k, come on Mercedes that is a complete joke! The C63 is £10k more than that and the A45 makes it a relative bargain. And that's before you take a look at the 'pre owned' within warranty market!
    1
  91. Great lower end company car, nailed it saying if you've been offered this then don't feel too disappointed
    1
  92. They should have just put the 730hp engine in it
    1
  93. alban panxhi True but since the TDF now has a 780hp engine there was probably space for it to get 730hp. Especially as the F12 replacement surely will have electric or turbo help. But yeah I see that maybe the GTC4Lusso will get that much next time
    1
  94. Vedang P Don't see that happening honestly, I think cars with 1000hp won't be built by the time they get 2 more generations out. Unless it has a huge electric motor in it
    1
  95. Wonder if this is faster in a straight line than the F12
    1
  96. Emmanuel Wang probably is, if you look at all the stats
    1
  97. Ioanides001 more power on such a short rwd wheelbase and rear engined will be a deathtrap, Porsche struggled with a long wheelbase for years! Unless Renault do some clever rear wheel steering but thats unlikely
    1
  98. Think they might have made it too fast, people now may struggle to see the extrs money for a 650s is worth it with only 80 more hp
    1
  99. Does it not have electric motors then?
    1
  100. CarBuyer and AutoExpress are the same
    1
  101. hmmm this or a m135i ...not a hard choice
    1
  102. Should have made the M4 more special and chucked a V8 in it and give the M3 a V6 TT
    1
  103. I do see business fleets being replaced with these since they will save loads of money but they will need a bunch of 3 series or something for when people need to travel for their work
    1
  104. Thomas Semeniuk Yeah I know but for most companies that is not that common but hence why I said they would need a bunch of 3 series for that problem
    1
  105. I want a racing driver all three cars on one day and to find an average lap time rather than one lap...
    1
  106. They should have gone down the design route of the F type rear end for the XF.
    1
  107. Think Honda need to spend abit more on their car development rather in technology that won't be use in the near future if in the future at all...
    1
  108. Not necessarily a bad thing but it clearly has been designed for the Middle Eastern market. Off road capabilities will hugely appeal to them and also it's a fast ultimate luxury car which again is exactly what they want
    1
  109. Turboxide Best looking Honda right now? Honestly not saying much
    1
  110. Amazed I'm saying this but with this generation of superminis the Polo looks better than the Ibiza
    1
  111. ***** Yeah I know haha it's fair enough and I guess they're not going to refilm it for a tiny mistake...which I guess is still true
    1
  112. Looks like a shoe...like a plimsoll.
    1
  113. Wouldn't be suprised if it was all in the tire width 
    1
  114. demolish*
    1
  115. Oh fair enough then I can't argue if you have evidence
    1
  116. What a disappointing car...watch it sell in the millions
    1
  117. Think they meant straight
    1
  118. devilzmantis Light for it's size, well a A380 is light for it's size as well. It's size is the issue for many people.
    1
  119. Ill take a used CLK 63 AMG
    1
  120. He said the Tesla hesitated on pressing the accelerator which possibly might have been a mistake upon the cars behalf also AE got a much slower acceleration time compared to every other reviewer which would suggest something went wrong
    1
  121. That wouldn't say VW is corrupt but the reviewers are
    1
  122. Well no, they sponsor AE which is completely different. But because they sponsor AE, AE therefore feels obliged to give VAG an advantage. 
    1
  123. 3 cylinder though also the larger engine and therefore smaller turbo will improve mpg  
    1
  124. 2.0 litre means it is more refined 
    1
  125. Think it will sell well in south america however where its designed
    1
  126. The touch screen in the centre is like a tasteful version of the Tesla one
    1
  127. Is this 5 series and E class sized or 7 and S sized? or even just between them?
    1
  128. KHD oh yeah forgot they had the LS for that segment, I always did get the GS and LS confused because the GS looks so long in the way it's designed.
    1
  129. I actually really like his videos this and the XF videos were actually really informative and he gives fair well described reviews of the most important new cars
    1
  130. Willy Lamb Tbf to him the Aventador and F12 have more than 700hp but I feel that a 700+ TT V12 will end up in the Vanquish mk3 to go up against them and the DBS will just be a stiffer slightly tuned DB9.
    1
  131. camelsac When I made my original comment I was thinking of full on sports cars like Porsches, F types and R8s. In comparison to those this is a bargain in terms of performance, because this can seriously keep up and maybe go faster than them whereas I'm sorry as much as you could deny it a Leon Cupra simply couldn't
    1
  132. A Cupra could destroy a base Boxster, my Ibiza FR 140hp and 184lbsft/250nm is just as quick as a Boxster 30-70mph according to Autoexpress. But the RS3 is alot faster than them in the real world and on a track and even in a straight line, and unlike the Cupra you get an amazing quality interior and build. I'm not disputing that the Cupra isn't a very quick car but it's nowhere near as quick as a RS3 and in the real world it hasn't got a chance, the RS3 is the king of real world speed.
    1
  133. Nik Brudar That's maybe true but the M1 will never exist with the movement to a fwd chassis and the M2 is a saloon. camelsac It's still a bargain for the performance! I would get a F type over it any day as well but that doesn't take away from my original comment
    1
  134. Meh I'd take a Leon, sorry not sorry
    1
  135. The Range Rover is a classic rich family car haha
    1
  136. But you would just get the Fiesta ST then stick a mountune package on it and a diff.
    1
  137. Sid Acidic I think it would probably have been Honda, Audi, MX-5 but yeah that would have been good.
    1
  138. ***** Yeah just to see if these modern hot hatches with turbos have caught up with the above segment from 1 generation ago. I doubt the RS would win since end of the day they did the most they could with 30k
    1
  139. Wouldn't be surprised if they release something like a 590 RS or something soon, that would be a very interesting car but it might cross into the inevitable 700S which must be coming out soon
    1
  140. Zarak Nawaz Itll probably be the V8 Vantage replacement
    1
  141. I feel the Turbo S is only fun when your driving very very fast which is probably why drivers of them have such a bad reputation on the road whereas in the 488 you could drive at seven tenths and have as much fun and meanwhile people won't hate you. Weird thing is I really want the Turbo S more than the 488 because when your in the 488 no doubt you always wish you were in a n/a 458. But who am I kidding I want the Huracan if I had the choice between the 3.
    1
  142. ***** Are you on CarThrottle or do I just remember your name/photo from other YouTube videos?
    1
  143. ***** Mate I see you everywhere as well! Guessing you both had a big BMW clash?
    1
  144. Will be under powered like the pro ceed, all design and no give
    1
  145. Weighs too much
    1
  146. This surely is going to kill the M4 sales?!
    1
  147. SenszR True but I think there will be less people in the market for the M4 when the M2 gets in the market
    1
  148. SenszR Yeah I get that but the M4 is meant to be much better than the M2 but from the information released by BMW it sounds like it is going to be very close.
    1
  149. SenszR I also believe the M4 is underrated by BMW to keep BMW M5/M6 sales up so I'm thinking the M2 will be underrated a lot as well. But yeah I think you might be right that it won't be that close to the M4 in power. But if it's anywhere near the success for the M235i BMW might have shot themselves in the foot.
    1
  150. Matthew Lee Most? Doubt it's anywhere near most tbh.
    1
  151. Victor K i will sell my xf to get this car though and people with the xj would move to the range rover brand if they want a suv anyways
    1
  152. An xj to a f type? Really?
    1
  153. Ponygt 662 200NM is way off what they make now, I hope that isn't true. It would be significantly slower even with less weight.
    1
  154. The car is good looking but it's wheels are a clear rip off from the A class which is clever in a way
    1
  155. It was so cheap
    1
  156. Chadwick 1991 Yeah I think if I had £25k and wanted a small but quick car I wouldnt be able to turn down the JCW especially with a DCT over a Fiesta ST200.
    1
  157. Cupra 91 That new Leon Cupra 290 especially in ST with the estatr back is my dream right now, mainly because of brand loyalty though. If the RS came as an estate though 😍👌
    1
  158. Cupra 91 I guess I've had little to no time around anything fast other than Seats so I guess the Cupra is the natural next step for me but I do really want to see try 5 pot hot hatches at some point. But yes like you the M3 E46 would be epic but the idea of maintence costs make me feel sick.
    1
  159. Cupra 91 I guess I've had little to no time around anything fast other than Seats so I guess the Cupra is the natural next step for me but I do really want to see try 5 pot hot hatches at some point. But yes like you the M3 E46 would be epic but the idea of maintence costs make me feel sick.
    1
  160. Mitch Hulleman To be fair the current Leon Cupra puts the power down very well for how much power it has and VAG sell the Golf R which is possibly the ultimate daily car at the moment.
    1
  161. Mitch Hulleman Yeah I agree Fords are a far better driving car, the fastest Ford I've driven is was the same model as your ST (presume that one is your car) on coils and with a few anti rolls bars under and in the engine bay and that was so refreshing driving something like that.
    1
  162. Mitch Hulleman I would recommend some roll bars they apparently transform the car and they are pretty cheap as an upgrade.
    1
  163. Mitch Hulleman You quite a young driver? Just asking because I'm thinking insurance is the reason for keeping it stock
    1
  164. Oh ok good reason then
    1
  165. Looks like a mixture of a 308 and a A class
    1
  166. So it's not that good right?
    1
  167. If you had the money for the Bentley W12 over the Mercedes then only an idiot would get the Mercedes, the Bentley is one of those cars you think, 'how good can it be?' but really it's incredible.
    1
  168. If anything the Phaeton is based on the Bentley, and if you have a logic that the Bentley is bad because its got parts from a VW/Audi that's ridiculous...the Merc has parts from cheap A and C series, also are you forgetting how old the V8 in the Mercedes is? 
    1
  169. yeah but the XJ is a true tasteful car with the v8's, lovely (simple compared to this i know) interior and a it stands out more than a s class
    1
  170. Wish they made the Honda with a DCT so I could drive it :(
    1
  171. ferrari...aston martin..lotus...
    1
  172. Its more grown up...aimed at CEOs
    1
  173. an idiot would say the history of porsche is worth it but honestly the jaguar has a far better history
    1
  174. get ready to start seeing that front grill right behind you on the main commuting lines
    1
  175. it has unbeatable presence on the daily commute (where they will be seen mostly) even the audi drivers pull out of the way off the porsche when it comes up behind them, which is rare because audi drivers often think they own the road The porsche is a true supercar of an executive whereas the others are just sporty
    1
  176. That A35 is a bit of a performance disappointment in all honesty
    1
  177. because the american market for this type of car is tiny
    1
  178. Paddy Downey On a 320d that is faster surely?
    1
  179. In this video the porsche is by far the best and I feel we could argue for our brand for days but I guess its a matter of personal opinion
    1
  180. fair enough but its definitely not in production...like that car there isnt a production model, im sure theyve driven a pre-production model
    1
  181. i believe this is still a concept
    1
  182. This guy is sick at driving
    1
  183. Needs to be small to drive like an Aston but a small 4x4 looks cheap, won't worry Lamborghini or Range Rover at all this
    1
  184. Its wayyy to slow...
    1
  185. I believe the Porsche design is not as bad as it is made up too be
    1
  186. they ran out of vans to test
    1
  187. Kias are simple and easy to use as well so are they better? (Yes i know the designer is the same guy) also CLS is hardly confusing, mercedes is the best interior
    1
  188. Is it actually that quick though? Like surely these big 500+hp SUVs we have today could monster it
    1
  189. R34 GTR where are you
    1
  190. Seriously waiting for Forza 5 now!
    1
  191. release date is september...
    1
  192. i like the 599 design more tbh it has more pressence
    1
  193. But they would defo have a good look at the Jaguar XJ
    1
  194. I think its just abit too expensive for what is essentially a '0.5 series' BMW. They've got the desirability and have shown that people do like the idea of an electric car.
    1
  195. Is it just me or are all audi interiors too bland they look like a 1990s VW
    1
  196. rich private school mums who dont want to use the Range Rover constantly?
    1
  197. ill take a audi rs6 over this
