  1. Krzysztof Jarzyna This group test was conducted the same as any other, with no interference from any manufacturer. 
    119
  2. We're glad the video is producing a lot of discussion - thanks everyone! Just a quick note - the exterior shots in the vid aren't from the timed laps. We'll make that clearer in future videos, though.
    117
  3. Shabec2982 We just get Mat Watson to run around the track with the camera-person on his back.
    105
  4. ytwizzle Thanks! But if you look closely you'll see that these are actually cars, not cats.
    82
  5. Be Cool Mat will appreciate that. Asimo is a cutie too!
    63
  6. Hands up if you love to see Steve Sutcliffe on track 🙌 Well, you're in for a treat - we have not just one, but TWO more battles going live over the next couple of weeks! Make sure you're subscribed to the channel to see them as soon as they go live
    60
  7. +dark zaku If that's true it's hardly sad news for used buyers!
    54
  8. Well it seems you guys LOVE a hearty debate about whether this lot should be considered rivals 😂So here goes... ✅The Fiesta has long been our favourite B-segment hot hatch. ✅The Civic has long been our favourite C-segment hot hatch. ✅The Golf is also C-segment, and one of the best all-rounders. The Yaris is B-segment in size, but closer to the C-segment cars in terms of performance and price. It also has four-wheel drive and a homologation rep which no other current hot hatch can boast. If it can match the Fiesta's fun with the Civic's pace, then Toyota has something special on its hands... Whether you agree or not - we hope you enjoy the vid! Alex

  9. karlmalone11 We only have these cars for one day to make a video for you guys, so if it's wet there's nothing we can do. Sorry!
    49
  10. +Brian Kim Congrats. You have won the respect of all your peers.
    48
  11. +Chris Juarez There is a hard-top - in fact there's two: the original four-wheel drive LP 610-4 and the rear-wheel drive LP 580-2...
    41
  12. Shh! Don't ruin the magic of video!
    39
  13. João Soares Sounds fun! Here's the twist: you've got to parallel park it at the end of the run to score a time.
    38
  14. Ben Legacy Not easy in Britain...
    37
  15. Keb Zeb We'd recommend the R8 - though you will buy a Lambo with your heart and not your head.
    36
  16. +Sicklehead88 In Britain we have a very unpredictable climate, which is why many don't bother changing tyres. If it doesn't snow, then they will feel their money was wasted. It's also why there isn't legislation about it.
    34
  17. Mat works for both sites!
    33
  18. ***** The tail-out stuff on the video isn't from the hot lap. They're just eye candy.
    32
  19. +Kings mario Just look at the standing quarter mile times, they are in the video at the end!
    32
  20. +Nicholas Clarke A loyal viewer! You must be too if you've seen him here a lot- thanks!
    31
  21. KTO Phantom It's more about the leaderboard times at the end, really - it just happened to be that these cars went up against each other.
    30
  22. Ivan Doe Auto Express is independently owned and not sponsored by any other firm. All sponsored content we produce is clearly labelled as such and all other content is our own editorial judgement.
    30
  23. Martim Azevedo Mendes What? Really? Awesome!
    30
  24. NikoBell12 Most people don't take their cars on track, but big skids and high speeds are better to watch on YouTube, right?
    29
  25. Car Nut Thanks - we'll be making clearer in future track battles that the exterior footage isn't from the actual hot lap!
    29
  26. The Audi is the best car for keen drivers - but we think that the Mercedes is best as a comfy cruiser, and that's what these cars are more likely to be used for.
    29
  27. There were quite a few runs - so the time on the board is the best time it could record that day, rather than the specific one you see in the video.
    28
  28. Just pretend you didn't see that...
    27
  29. Muddassir Raza Historically the BMW has always been better- in our eyes, anyway. That could be about to change with this new model, though.
    27
  30. Because Covid. With numerous journalists/photographers invited to look at it over the course of a couple of days, Citroen made a completely reasonable request for us to not get inside and breathe/sneeze all over it.
    24
  31. You're right! It is just for fun!
    24
  32. sweet1j You can buy all-weather tyres, but switching to summer tyres for the warmer months is still important: the extra contact the rubber has with a dry road increases grip by a significant amount.
    22
  33. They're not, but everyone's seen a M135i vs A45 AMG drag race already. What's wrong with something a bit different?
    22
  34. richzilla08 Welcome to YouTube!
    20
  35. Correction: the G70 Shooting Brake has a 465 litre boot, not 330 litres. Hope you enjoyed this first look!
    20
  36. konakonak The film doesn't represent the laps we timed with 100% accuracy - we just picked the best clips over a day of filming to best represent the cars. Rest assured the timed laps were done under the same conditions!
    19
  37. enemay Nearly all the cars were brought along by their owners to the event, so it wasn't really up to us which model year to run...
    19
  38. Link to part 2: Part 2: Modded Mazda MX-5 (Miata) takes on Porsche Boxster on track
    19
  39. It's our pleasure Keith! Hope you enjoy.
    18
  40. +UzzyFuzzyy you cant when you launch control
    18
  41. rodasrodas Glad you enjoyed it!
    17
  42. +Curtis Sullivan Certainly does in Europe, where a fast Lexus is a rare sight.
    16
  43. Correction: those rear doors actually open to 85 degrees, not the 90 degrees stated in the video. Saved you all the job of digging out those protractors - you're welcome 😏
    16
  44. Alex Yiu The customer knows best at the end of the day - if nobody is buying manual models then Audi isn't likely to produce them!
    15
  45. on most you can't hold them in launch mode for long... so sometimes the light may be on red, then they disengage, then the lights turn green before you can reactivate the system
    15
  46. Kifo Nah, we're alright once you get to know us...
    14
  47. alrightbob It's not necessarily the run that shows up in the time sheet. We filmed one run for each pair, but the times were taken from their best run over the whole day.
    14
  48. Jonny S Maybe Ford has been taking notes from its Subaru WRX 'STi' rival...
    14
  49. Hi guys, we hope you enjoyed our 3 Series used guide! We didn't include prices in the video (they'd be wrong to anyone watching in a few years' time) but at the moment in the UK you can expect to pay from £4k for a scruffy, early high-miler, up to roughly £30k for a top spec, low mileage 2018 car.
    14
  50. We would indeed - the Ioniq 5 is a fantastic package, it's hard to find a fault.
    14
  51. Try this then! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/skoda/rapid/85990/car-vs-bike-ed-clancy-takes-skoda-rapid-spaceback
    14
  52. We'll see if Mat wants to volunteer...
    14
  53. /Dream Car Garage 1 (DCG1) We only had time to drive them briefly, so we couldn't do a full review of any of them. That's why we decided to cut the footage into this video so you guys could see it.
    13
  54. PieSlicedHamYT Exactly right!
    13
  55. Ya momm It's all about what their customers want - most buyers prefer automatics.
    13
  56. Thank you! High praise coming from you guys, much appreciated 👍
    13
  57. ***** It seems that in the UK MX-5 prices are a bit lower than elsewhere!
    13
  58. It's a brilliant machine. Certainly lives up to the hype!
    13
  59. It was the limit of the runway that was available, unfortunately!
    12
  60. It has Steve's heart too, by the looks of it...
    12
  61. ***** Thanks for the feedback - we've already filmed this run of videos but for the next one we'll see if we can improve!
    12
  62. kniveznor1 Thanks for the feedback. Next time we'll keep it in mind.
    12
  63. The 335d is a great shout 💪
    11
  64. The big question is: Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5 or this new Range Rover Sport? Let us know! 👇
    11
  65. Mr Kruger It's a fair choice - the engine is fantastic.
    11
  66. Ioanides001 Well, Mat might...
    11
  67. Thanks, Steve certainly enjoyed himself!
    11
  68. maybe we will cover that in our next vid ;)
    11
  69. The official EU weight of the Mustang Mach 1 is 1,851kg, so not far off two tonnes, as we said.
    10
  70. Model 3 pretty much defines a sleeper: a plain-looking car that's crazy fast
    10
  71. So it gets Steve's stamp of approval, but are you convinced by a 697bhp Aston Martin SUV? Let as know, and as ever, thanks for watching - more Sutcliffe videos to come! 😁
    10
  72. Stay tuned...
    9
  73. Steve is a former racing driver, so the Cupra probably didn't have much more to give.
    9
  74. Subscribe for more new car reviews every single week! Oh, and who wants to see more Greg? 👀
    9
  75. udip21 We only had time to film one run for each pair but the times were taken from their best runs over the whole day.
    9
  76. Despite the flaws, the strong performance, range and charging network are impossible to ignore.
    9
  77. iBOOM Full performance mode, ya!
    9
  78. Thanks Patrick! Glad you stayed with us 🙂
    9
  79. gn01308814 In Britain it'll only matter for that one day a year when we have a heatwave...
    9
  80. The result would be the same - our lap times are set after extensive testing of each car around the track, and Steve knows Llandow like the back of his hand! The Leon was the quickest car on the day.
    8
  81. rayn Well, we are a UK-based publication after all! A lot of UK buyers will be more interested in its on-road uses, so we make sure to include that part of the verdict in our review.
    8
  82. We can only test the cars as they come from the manufacturer, but the tyres were certainly a big factor.
    8
  83. It should be noted that the Leon 300 posted that time on a different day - there can be a surprising variation in track grip if it's been raining beforehand, or if the surface has been rubbered in by other cars!
    8
  84. Nanu Siri Highly unlikely!
    8
  85. Glad you enjoyed the vid! In case you missed it, head over to our previous release - Steve pits the Porsche Cayman GTS against the Alpine A110S
    8
  86. Thanks!
    8
  87. Jolinator Thanks. We thought you guys would enjoy this one!
    8
  88. He has experience with both, actually. The real-world range and price are covered in the video.
    8
  89. AJM Campbell We always make it extremely clear in the title that a piece of content is sponsored. This is a normal group test.
    8
  90. Nuno Sousa Dias Just a bit of fun!
    8
  91. The interview with Nick was to give context to the car, and had no bearing on our verdict.
    7
  92. Congrats. Enjoy that V8!
    7
  93. Just testing to see if you were paying attention - you passed the test 😉
    7
  94. During an overtake or on a steep incline - both real-world driving scenarios - the revs flare up and the engine is strained, as you can hear in the video!
    7
  95. ***** REEEEAALLLLLL
    7
  96. Sarcasm wasn't in the job description but probably helped. Seriously though, isn't it fascinating to see how much new cars have progressed? We've reached a point where a family-sized EV can out accelerate what was at the time one of the greatest supercars ever produced; that a pickup can see off one of the greatest hot hatches ever produced - it's mind-blowing. So do cars really need to be so quick? Does it give drivers a false sense of security, a belief that they're more capable than they really are? And if that's all a bit deep - and maybe it's just the lockdown cabin fever in my brain - but I thought the comparison with some cool old stuff might just be a bit of fun. Alex
    7
  97. An interesting theory...
    7
  98. Let's enjoy them while we can. Thanks for watching!
    6
  99. +Butterzai Good point. It was a shame that the RC F was so heavy, as Toyota got it just right with the GT 86.
    6
  100. Love your passion, sir! The Mach 1 represents a dying breed, and we like it a lot.
    6
  101. Hi Andrew, thanks for watching. I'd go for the planet where electricity isn't free 🙃 Of course range is important too, but just in the same way that fuel efficiency matters for a combustion car, it shouldn't be ignored in an EV either. In fairness, each of those small cars seem to be very closely matched on paper, but regardless, poorer efficiency means bigger running costs - Alex
    6
  102. The new infotainment is genuinely brilliant. A shame it doesn't have an iDrive-style click wheel to give users another option, but it's one of the best-looking, fastest-loading displays out there - Alex
    6
  103. I'd have to agree with Andy! Not much in it though 😊 - Alex
    6
  104. 4:35 - when you try to showboat for the cameras but it's your first lap out of the pits and you've forgotten to disable the stability control 🤦
    6
  105. Skip to 11:43 for an exclusive first look at the new two-wheel drive Toyota GR Yaris
    6
  106. Alessandro Canziani It's just a bit of fun!
    6
  107. It was a typo in the description - sorry about that.
    6
  108. Jakub Kurzawa It was available on our website first and then published to YouTube a day later. Not sure why it didn't appear in the sub box though...
    6
  109. Thanks Anthony. There's definitely an argument for the Ioniq 5 or EV6 - they're both a bit more versatile, but Ioniq 6's extra range might swing it. Looking forward to testing one in the UK either way!
    6
  110. Dustin Lee Martin We'll see what we can do!
    6
  111. Watch our man get to grips with the new Jaguar XE on video..
    6
  112. Let's say that's the 11th most underrated. As long as it has a V6 👀
    6
  113. The actual times are listed at the end... hope this helps
    6
  114. It's part of the recently formed Stellantis Group - the merger of PSA (Citroën, Peugeot, DS, Opel/Vauxhall) and FCA (Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Dodge, Ram etc)
    6
  115. MrRedRye Although we have posted (clearly labelled) videos that were sponsored by VW Group brands, Auto Express is 100 per cent independent.
    6
  116. Chris Graham Thanks for the feedback! We'll do our best to include more things like this.
    6
  117. TheMrZomboss Good idea! We'll keep that in mind...
    6
  118. Us, actually - we did a detailed walkaround of the car previously.
    6
  119. Glad someone noticed 😉
    6
  120. millionsofmyles We'll keep it in mind for future vids!
    6
  121. As Steve explained, there's a lot more to this car than the straight line performance!
    6
  122. +Toby Mullan Don't be silly. We use a salami.
    5
  123. True - the RX-8 could just about get away with it because it was a coupe that just happened to have more useful back seats. On a crossover/SUV-type car they don't really work though
    5
  124. +keanehgz Toyota bosses are making noises about having a sports car above the GT86, which would sort of be a new Supra - but there's nothing confirmed yet.
    5
  125. Hi Josh, the simple reason is that Hyundai expects the middle engine will likely be the most popular in the UK by a huge margin - it's not unusual for manufacturers to be selective with engines in certain markets. I should point out that, while likely, it isn't certain yet! Alex
    5
  126. That one was a bit of a squeeze.
    5
  127. No disrespect taken! (mainly because I am 5ft 7). If you can believe my tape measure is reliable, the electric 500 is 61mm longer, 56mm wider and 29mm taller than the existing car
    5
  128. Steve's been called plenty of things in the past – we'll add 'eye candy' to the list!
    5
  129. We thought the same after seeing it the metal, but it's only 38mm longer and 35mm wider than the last one!
    5
  130. Dcipher Both cost around £130,000 and have about 565bhp - there will certainly be some buyers who are choosing between them.
    5
  131. It's not for everyone, that's for sure.
    5
  132. We like to leave it to our viewers to judge aesthetics, but looks aside, the iX is an accomplished car.
    5
  133. Exactly. You enjoy yourself, and you get to keep your licence at the end of it!
    5
  134. Fair play for using it as intended, Chris - that's what they're for.
    5
  135. Steve is actually a former racing driver, so his lap times are on the money!
    5
  136. But you have to time that right as if you wait too long the systems disengage
    5
  137. Just stick some super soft slicks on a Mazda Demio then. You'd leave them in your dust around Trial Mountain
    5
  138. Hi Samuel. The E-Pace is coming too. That's the 'Baby F-Pace' whereas the I-Pace is an EV based on the F-Pace underpinnings. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/jaguar/e-pace/91850/jaguar-s-baby-f-pace-suv-takes-its-next-steps
    5
  139. 300 is the PS figure - that's 296bhp.
    5
  140. Hi Ben, cheers for watching, and nice hair. The A3 Saloon was revealed today, so this is a news story rather than a review. The review will have to wait until we've driven it 👍
    4
  141. Couldn't have said it better ourselves!
    4
  142. He can certainly pedal!
    4
  143. Coming soon! The car we filmed was a pre-production model, and the interior wasn't quite ready yet. Looks much smarter inside than the old car though. Alex
    4
  144. Good news! Hyundai has now officially revealed the i20 interior. You can see the image at the link. What do you think? https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/hyundai/i20/109171/new-2020-hyundai-i20-interior-revealed
    4
  145. +HyperbirdF6 Thanks!
    4
  146. In the UK the Mach 1 is detuned to 454bhp. Shame!
    4
  147. Thank you! The Giulia Veloce is a fine handling car, and rapid too, but we suspect that it'd have a tough time against these three on a track.
    4
  148. Sutters on the big screen - why not!
    4
  149. Hi everyone, apologies for the in-car audio quality. Unfortunately our microphone malfunctioned mid-shoot!
    4
  150. Hi Matt, it is a voice-over... Of our own review! You can read our first drive in full here: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota/hilux/353811/new-toyota-hilux-2020-review We thought we'd try out this slightly different format from our usual, for those times when a car we drive on a launch deserves a video review, but for whatever reason it isn't possible to shoot one. The content and opinions are just the same, even if they lack the personal touch of one of our faces on screen. Some might even say that's a good thing 👀 Thanks very much for the feedback and we hope you enjoyed the vid! Alex
    4
  151. Hi Dave, the mild hybrid is available with a six-speed manual or a CVT auto, depending on spec. The e-Power is essentially an EV with a petrol range-extender, so it doesn't have a transmission (in the traditional sense). Hope that helps!
    4
  152. crwilso6 Thanks for the kind words!
    4
  153. The Fiesta may not be the quickest, but it's HUGE fun. But that shouldn't take away from the fact that the Yaris is brilliant too!
    4
  154. The Civic might look firm on track, but it's so well set up (and the adaptive dampers so good) that on the road it's almost as comfy as the Golf, yet sharper and more controlled. Then there's the steering, the gear shift quality and the brake feel... All just mega. Can you tell that we like it?

  158. Historical knowledge flex and diss rolled into one pithy comment. The hero everyone needs
    4
  159. AudiS4B7 Interesting insight - other viewers might find this useful.
    4
  160. Our pleasure!
    4
  161. For reliability and extra usability, go for a Toyota-engined S2. But the S1 is a bit lighter and arguably the more pure driving experience.

  164. Newcastle!
    4
  165. Robert Dunn Check out our sister channel Carbuyer for more ordinary car reviews!
    4
  166. We totally agree Azam! Regardless of which is quickest around the track, both the Alfa and the BMW are brilliant. We're so spoiled for fast saloons right now!
    4
  167. The Elva has no roof at all, so it's not classed as a convertible.
    4
  168. That's a very different car to the McLaren. On-paper specs can only reveal so much!
    4
  169. Thank you! You guys hit it out of the park with your video.
    4
  170. You can head to AutoExpress.co.uk to watch some of our videos early!
    3
  171. Thank you! Earplugs definitely required...
    3
  172. It is indeed!
    3
  173. +Matthew Hall You are forgiven. But Mat isn't- he will now have to drive cars costing less than £150,000 for a week as punishment.
    3
  174. Hasan Guvercin It's 316 litres (1,101 with the seats down) - that's the same as before.
    3
  175. We can't unsee that now. Thanks! 😆
    3
  176. But not available in the UK unfortunately!
    3
  177. Thanks. We have a variety of presenters, and are all car lovers. Steve appears in the same number of videos as the rest of our presenters
    3
  178. Hope you enjoyed the film. We certainly had fun making it!
    3
  179. Both.
    3
  180. Apologies and thanks for the correction. From an ignorant English person - Alex
    3
  181. Is he powered by a V6 too?
    3
  182. 2993cc
    3
  183. Interesting take! When do you last think it was that people actually bought a Defender to be used as a utility vehicle though? Haven't pickups dominated that segment for about 30 years now?
    3
  184. This was a pre-production model, so some of the fit and finish wasn't representative of the final car.
    3
  185. Charlie Long This is not a sponsored video. All of our sponsored content is clearly labelled as such.
    3
  186. There's plenty more to come! In the meantime, take a look at the channel to watch his review of the Jaguar F-Pace SVR from earlier this week, and three track battles at the end of last year :)
    3
  187. *Tyne and Wear 😉
    3
  188. It's actually yellow.
    3
  189. Yes. There's a more powerful hybrid available in the 3008 that's four-wheel drive - also an auto. Alex
    3
  190. Because few of those would get anywhere near the Civic around a lap, none of them are anywhere near as fun as the Fiesta, and none have the all-round ability of the Golf. And the i20N isn't out yet... We wanted to find out if the Yaris could match that trio in any area - if it did, then we know Toyota has made something really special (spoiler alert - it has!) - Alex
    3
  191. Great choice. I'd say "enjoy" but I know you'll love it anyway!
    3
  192. Our pleasure! 0-62mph takes 10.6 seconds, and the top speed is 106mph.
    3
  193. M3Conv Actually most people can get on with their lives without worrying about it. They just enjoy the nice shots we chose to make a good video.
    3
  194. Yep, left-hand drive only. To be fair, the Ami is so narrow that it's really not a problem - some larger door mirrors would be nice though!
    3
  195. Our pleasure!

  196. Hi Mat here. If you are wondering why it took us so long to release this video it's because although we actually shot it back at the beginning of September, we decided to hold it back for our new iPad edition of Auto Express which has just gone live. You can download the first six issues for free from the App store. Hopefully this will make up for the fact we have kept this video from you for so long.

  197. BLT Interesting point!
    3
  198. Correct!
    3
  199. Certainly more reliable, but Yousuf has owned both - to drive, the Elise is in a different league!

  223. ​ @popsandbangs8858  in this case, it just wasn't finished inside - imagine a 2020 dashboard design built out of 1990 plastics. The proper version will be much plusher, so Hyundai (quite reasonably) asked us to wait!

  224. Hi John, nice to hear you're both an avid Auto Express reader and clearly a keen viewer of the channel too! I'm happy to explain all of those points. Since filming this review, the monthly PCP prices (the way that most people buy their cars nowadays) became available for the Qashqai. They revealed that the Qashqai was much cheaper than the 3008 to finance on a typical deal (the base trim, for example, is £48 per month cheaper over three years than the entry-level 3008 on matching terms). So while the 3008 is still a better car as such, for many it would be hard to justify the extra spend - especially for a car competing in a class where value for money will be a big factor for buyers - so the Qashqai finished ahead. Those monthly PCP figures are listed in more detail in the "Through the Range" section of the test. Also there is mention of the ProPILOT system that's fitted to Tekna models. As for the boot size, the 479 litre number listed in the magazine is for the Tekna trim in particular - it's a touch smaller than base trims (504 litres) due to spec changes. I don't have the exact details to hand, but I believe it's because the subwoofer for the Bose sound system takes up some space. It's the biggest headline figure that is mentioned in the video review (and the previous video walkaround). Sorry if this caused confusion! Thanks again. Alex (both "this guy" and the writer of that Qashqai/Tucson/3008 test in the magazine)
    2
  225. Congrats! It's a stellar machine.
    2
  226. Thank you - that's the plan!
    2
  227. In the UK it'll cost you £185,500 - more than the GT but less than the 720S
    2
  228. Darren Loke Sorry about the sound - the microphone wasn't picking Ollie's voice up as it should have been. We decided to put the video up anyway as you can still hear what he has to say.

  231.  @filipzdraveski8715  Well you're in luck - just the other week we released our Driver Power 2020 rankings. It's the result of tens of thousands of owners letting us know the most satisfying (and most reliable) used cars to own in the UK! See the vid here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdjEB251auw
    2
  232. Maybe a bit rash to react to a five-year-old video like that :)
    2
  233. Indeed they are! The luxury trim was available throughout the F30's life - both pre- and post-facelift, and in saloon and Touring body styles.
    2
  234. Diggity
    2
  235. There's plenty more to come soon - keep your eyes on the channel :)
    2
  236. That would certainly be an upgrade! The new Sport is roomier, more luxurious and should feel even more grown up on the road.
    2
  237. Hi AkaAndyKnuckles. The short answer: less than other 508s. The longer answer: the 508 Hybrid SW has a braked trailer weight of 1,340kg, but if you want to tow, get one of the 2.0-litre diesels instead - either can manage 1,800kg. Both numbers are lower than the equivalent Skoda Superb, though.
    2
  238. Keep your eyes out on the channel for more Steve Sutcliffe track action very soon. Thanks for watching!

  243. It's not the most obvious link, that's for sure!

  244. Hi Paul, it's priced from £28,495, so about four grand more than a Fiesta ST-3 and £1,500 cheaper than the Focus ST

  245. This one's the C250 BlueTEC.

  246. akmal hakim Lotus is a British company.

  247. Excellent shout. Same mechanically as the 3008, and we gave the Peugeot the nod :)
    2
  248. I'll admit, it's a left-field choice, but I bet it was still quicker than most people expected! What would you have put in the list instead? Alex
    2
  249. Stefan Wojcik Yeah, the old R8 was really something special.
    2
  250. lambosuperl Thanks for the kind words!
    2
  251. Maybe if VW decides to build a new one!
    2
  252. The Focus is indeed the sharper drive 👍
    2
  253. Good luck with your studies! Alex
    2
  254. The German roads we drove on were quite smooth, but the ride was very good. It'd be even better with the 21-inch wheels, so we'd recommend those.

  255. Tobi Ogunsanwo Share our vids with your friends then - we do appreciate it!

  256. Krasimir Dragomirov We haven't tried it properly off-road yet, sadly. However most buyers will never take it away from the tarmac!
    2
  257. They're two very different cars, but the MX-5 is also sweet to drive and a great all-rounder. We like it a lot at Auto Express.

  258. Very kind of you! Thanks Jay.

  273. Good spot! You're right, it should actually say "3.9-litre V8, twin-turbo, petrol"

  274. We got our hands on the GR Yaris at the end of last year - and it was huge fun! You can see how it got on against the Civic (plus the Ford Fiesta ST Edition and VW Golf GTI) here https://youtu.be/d-5py4ESJgY

We reviewed this very Hilux in December 2020 - you can read our first drive in full here: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota/hilux/353811/new-toyota-hilux-2020-review Unfortunately we're not always able to bring our own camera operator along to every launch we attend (particularly given the current situation), so on this occasion, the footage was shot by Toyota. Hope you enjoyed the video regardless :) P.S. What are you Cornwall's Answer to?

  318. When it's so narrow that you could basically headbutt the passenger side window, it's probably not as much of a problem as you'd think 😂
    1
  319. I think 80mph might just be a little too much 😂
    1
  320. Thanks for watching. We agree - while it's not a car you'd want take too far beyond the city, even 10mph extra top speed would give it that little extra versatility

  341. Yeah. If you go far enough back, I suppose the original 6 Series was a rival, too. And the BMW E9. And possibly even the Volvo 780 Bertone <insert I-think-you-might-be-missing-the-point-we-were-making-that-the-E-Class-doesn't-have-any-direct-rivals-today emoji>

  343. Hi guys - thanks for your comments. The engine situation is a little complicated but in a nutshell... The V6 engine Jack talks about in the video won't arrive in the UK until next year, when it will replace the 5.0-litre V8. The XJ will be the first Jaguar to get the new 3.0-litre supercharged V6 (with either 335bhp or 375bhp), and this engine will be used to power the upcoming F-Type. We've added a link to the news story in the summary above.

  350. Take a look at the poll on our channel - the battle for popularity is as tight as the fight on track!

  351. We agree! Until the electric version launches, it's the perfect combination.

  352. Up! GTI is a great choice - hope you're enjoying it.
