  1. Yorkshire Terrier http://www.zeperfs.com/en/duel5334-5669.htm Here are the lap times with regular BMW summer tires, I dunno whether Hybrid Peugeuot is faster but the type R is not fukkim maggot, I ve tested em in real life, at Rockingh UK and the type R was not even 0.5s faster than a Seat Leon Cupra DSG 280, the Bimmer was easily over 4s fast in Rockingham, The type R and Leon Cupra and Focus RS mkV, all can come close to or beat M4 in short tight circuits hell even an Audi R8v10+ wont be significantly faster than Type R in such a circuit but thats not what matters, its speed,straight line,the balance,the steering feel,the corner exits, U dont pay BMW for nothing, U Honda bitches think plastics interior design all are just for practocality,hell no,BMW makes luxury cars,BMW gives effortless speed and that combined with luxury feel, Honda cannot do something like BMW,I am not a BMW fanboy in fact I am a Ford fan,I am waiting for Focus RS, but I too thought Civic wud b great with all that Nurburgring shit Honda advertised,tried one at Rockimgham, sorry the BMW raped Honda and some Honda fans BTCC honda fans as well well in the open in public Rockingham, If U havent driven cars get out f ur jerk filled pc and go out and drive one, The BMW M235i vs Type R is a better comparison if U ask me, there too BMW with LSD is extremely potent,but sure might be just fast or slower than Type R, Also the type R has turbo lag and is a shitty daily driver, the M235i etc spools turbos like at 1250 rpm, unlike type R which goes On and Off at times and has a pain in the ass heavy clutch and super feel less steering,it almost feels like a fast toy,tin can feeling as well,compared to robust solid tank like feel of Bimmers.

  3. Rafal Biernacki What big foolishness are you talking about, its still laggy, I have driven it with my foot and my hands and its laggy, Its not as laggy as Subarus Wrx sti or Opel engine but definitely has more lag than Focus ST,Golf R,Bmw m235i and lag is lag,  Also the city ride is uber harsh compared to Bimmer, Then there is no noise cancellation nothing it feels like u r in a kit car at speeds excess of 90 kmph, Bimmer feels quiet from road wind noise etc till 140, Interior plastics are so baaawk,shit comoared to even BMW M235i let alone M4, I van vouche that an Audi 2.0 turbo making 310 PS is way way way way better engine than CTRs 2.0 turbo, http://www.zeperfs.com/en/duel5669-4745.htm Check out lap times, the M235 i dosent even have an LSD yet its almost as fast as well, Dont overdo it, I am not sayin CTR is bad but its BS when some compare it with an M4 which is leagues ahead of CTR which is just better than Megane and probably ss good ad upcoming Focus RS, thats it.

  4. Johnny Salvattore Yes I am a fanboy but of Ford not of BMW,Honda,or VW

  5. Dont get me wrong the Honda NSX has no place here, mayb NSX can fight the likes of porsche 911 turbos S and Nissan GTR 
    1
  6. Because its got just 550 bhp, whereas all other cars that got mentioned have over 600 bhp, The NSX weighs nearly 3500 pounds as per some sources whereas all others mentioned are less than 3400 pounds snd use more exotic materials as well,
    1
  7. ***** Still I dont think its gonna b a true GT car, its still hybridy and looks kind of like n Acura ILX , its almost like a competition to the new Jaguar F type v8 AWD
    1
  8. BABY YEEZUS I dont own a HYBRID but I have seen em getting smoked by turbo petrols,  See the NSX is heavier and it mayb Hondas best attempt yet, but its in no way an exotic like GT,Audi R8,etc IF u think so ok fine but as for me a supercar should have full performance based petrol engine and as per modern standards over 600 HP and under 1400 kg dry the P1,LaFerrari,918 are over the top exotics and hyper in nature the NSX will b  a good car, it will be as fast as the Nissan GTR,as I might guess, The Nissan GTR too it can smoke lot of supercars on track but Its not a real supercar, even the NISMO 
    1
  9. BABY YEEZUS I am no GOD, I just told ma opinion, and its not only my opinion, its was in general the NAIAS viewers opinion
    1
  10. See have u been to the NAIAS if not u wudnt gave told this, The new NSX is undiubtedly a great car but its no way near as exotic as Audi ,Ferrari,Lamborghini,Ford GT etc See just making spot on performance out of a mid engined hybrid wont make it exotic,like Lamborgjini, etx see how much attention they ve paid to details,how much styling etc went on onto it, All people who saw the NSX had a common opinion like its like an Acura ILX with a different back,then those who sat inside too had this opinion, its trying to be a GT car not quiet a GT car, I saw the NSX at NAIAS but the Ford GT and just stole that show so I was completely over it, The NSX will be like the NISSAN GTR of Honda,says an US Honda engineer by the side of show car itself when asked about it, his words were,its affordable yet fast and reliable, So whats the performance figures? U can expext under 4s , How much power ?550+,. Is it over 600,? no but it will be very fast like a NISSAN GTR These words came from a Honda engineer near the show car,.
    1
  11. SenszR Yea I am well aware of that , the Corvette is not an exotic but,the Audi R8 ,Ford Gt, Hurraccan,650s are exotics Sure the 911 turbo s and GTR are some of fastest cars in the world but they are not exotics, an exotic should have that much developement,exotic materials in use and heritage and charecter built into it to get that badge, The GTR and turbo S are regular chassis that gets factory modified to insane levels, Now u might say GTR,NSX,etx has its chassis shares with no other Nisaans or Hondas,yup u r right but The same can b told about the Hurraccan,Audi R8, etc as well,so what makes exotics more special is use of materials,and by use of a whole lot if it, The NSX is hondas super car and its Hondas best effort but its still not exotic enough, Again all these arent my observations but the people who attended the NAIAS itself had this opinion,NSX dosent look that striking as well,
    1
  12. Nope its not at all striking after seeing it in person, it really looks like a low Acura ILX, Also Porsches super car is the Carrera GT However good the turbo S maybe it wont b a supercar its a sports car ,true there are lots of sports cars that are faster than supercars but one pays a lot more for super cars and its not going waste,the exclusivity and exotic method used for that car will always b exotic, Honda could have made the NSX a supercar with carbon fiber and more importantly if it had 600+ hp, Just look at the main supercars 650s-641 bhp Hurracan,r8-610 bhp Ford GT-600+ bhp Ferrari 488 GTB-600+ bhp See supercars always have some standard, While back in 2003-2006 era the benchmark was 450+ bhp, Now its 600+ Remember 458 Italia, it had 550 back in 2009 now befor GTB,comes out the Speciale too makes 600 hp reaching the supercar margin.

  13. SenzR Its about that man, do u know that the McLaren ,Audi,Lambo,new upconing Ford GT, all will do quarter mile unde 11.2s in stock form, and yet they are super fast, They look completely differnt to any other cars in their line up, all supercars have over 200 mph top speed, Look at 0-186 mph speeds of all these cars,in stock form itself they just beat the hell out of 911 turbo S and GTR and probably the NSX too,
    1
  14. Nope 0-186 is no way near as fast and GTR Acura NSX ,911 turbo etx looks just too ordinary compared to r8,huraccan,ford gt,etc http://news.boldride.com/2015/01/acura-nsx-or-ford-gt-which-would-you-rather/67046/ Here is a small hint,its just the reaction of a lot of readers,the verge also took a vote and again Ford GT won, the Autoguide.com too had a voting and NSX didnt even win 10% of Votes the GT got

  15. http://www.zeperfs.com/en/duel4841-5170.htm http://www.zeperfs.com/en/duel4841-5154.htm Its not at all in the same ball parkz not eve. 0-200 kmph, so how come 0-300, Also all that money in those super cars are not waste,they make u feel,special, I have been in a Mc Laren Mp4 12c , its a flop supercar basically but even that one felt 3x times more special and as fast or faster than the GTR , its the feeling u get once inside a super car,it matters a lot
    1
  16. Mercedes AMG GT its a GT car but is it a super car nope, Inbeteen Mercesea has no super car , thats surprising since they first made cars
    1
  17. SenszR nope man,  If there is a cateory like B class A class D class sedan, C class hatch, c class sedan etc then there is a class called supercar class And fora modern super car it should have over 600 HP, over 200 mph top speed, exotic engineering and materials,exotic design,exotic performance  U need all of this, the NSX, GTR etc arent proper super cars
    1
  18. Pedro Pedrosoy Its true but, the reality is, the new C7 are very good, I hate GM products but I will admit that they ve done a fantastic job with the C7 series Ford the price of C7 Stingray, there is nothing that can beat it
    1
  19. Pedro Pedrosoy I agree with u Pedro, I absolutely dont like GM as a brand but I have to admit that GM does 3 things good C7 Corvette Camaro Z 28 and 1LE some Cadillacs These 3 things aside GM as a brand is bull shit,crap, useless plastic piles I have driven the new C7 Stingray and its just 75000 pounds and with extras just 78000 pounds on road, and for that money if one can sacrifice a little bit of high quality interior the car is an absolute gem, its just smashes lap times with 1.1 -1.5x times its price tags So is the new Corvette C7 Z06 , ya its front engine,but it just lapped Nordschleife BTG in 7:17.7 s, thats one of the fastest times ever made by a car that costs less than 120000 pounds, not even GT3 RS managed it, maybe the new GT3 RS will still it will cost 2x the price tag of Stingray Z06, so as an enthusiast I respect the worked GM did in case of Vette
    1
  20. Pedro Pedrosoy no buddy, trust me, I hate GM but I must accept that they can corner pretty hard, sure no Porsche level but definitely better than GTR,F-Type,equal to R8v10
    1
  21. SenszR No their performance aint Please take zerpefs.com and try comparing supercars to GTR/Vettes/etc U ll understand what I mean, also check their stock 0-200 kmph 0-300 kmph times etc they are not at all in same league
    1
  22. its working miracles in China,USA,South America, it wont do that in Europe but still keep the Mondeo alive

  23. Auto Express, try driving the new Mustang
    1
  24. I dont get how Honda calls this a compact car eg The Civic length is 4631 mm, a Ford Focus is just 4360 mm width including mirrors is 2067 mm in Civic and 2044 mm in Focus Thats a huge difference, one cannot say the Civic is a great car because anybody can make a large car more spacious and wider body to make it handle good, the Golf , Focus etc are still a class apart, Also the car looks UGLY!!
    1
  25. rcnacura Well U must be reading the speedo for the acceleration times, All turbo cars have slight error in speedo meter readings because of instant torque kick at 2000 rpm, so the speedometer jumps a few steps, specially DSG cars will show it as a smooth curve so nobody can notice it The real 0-60 mph of Audi A3 2.0 T with DSG is 6.2s and 0-100 kmph is 6.4s In wet its 6.7s to 60 and 6.9s to 100 kmph
    1
  26. The problem is these things are extremely complex and regarding the poor reliability of Peugeots, people will b like , is worth?
    1
  27. Ya absolutely true but one pays for Audi for the best interior in business,the motorised screen,the soft touch smooth leather,alcantra leathet all ooze quality,thats what Audi is for a spicy VW,
    1
  28. 265 I wont believe u, Mazda cant compete with DSG,even manual wise i think u r wrong,Mazda is rough around the edges to fight the grand daddy or rolls royce of hatch backs, Nothing is as well balanced as a Golf is

  29. This Jag is just under 35000 pounds fully loaded,A4 and new 3 series 2 are similarly priced, when fully optioned, so Jag has a part to play here, the new C Class is supremely expenive

  30. I really cant understand how the cheap tin can feeling Jazz and Prius scored such good numbers, Jazz felt instantly unsafe with its tin can feeling doors and almost plastic like feeling car, the Polo Fiesta etc felt far more solidly built
    1
  31. Bull SHit, Octavia VRS thats the most boring car I ve ever driven dosent deserve a sporty badge at all Also  Suzuki Swift Sport, really, its steering has 0 feel, no feedback,body is built like made out of tin cans, pathetic sound, its a pathetic car,just cheap dosent mean its worth
    1
  32. Mesothorium I have driven an awful lot of it, and it cant hold its own in front of the likes of Polo Tsi,Fiesta ST, Peugot GTi , etc sure they are more expensive but the Swift Sport isnt even as good as the Fiesta Red/Black with that tiny i3, Also the doors,etc are built so thin and like wafer soft, its really a car BUILT TO A PRICE,
    1
  33. Mesothorium I am not lying, I dont need to, Suzukis best handling car is the Swift agreed but its still far cry from Fiesta and Polo, The straight line stability is no match at 1st, I ve driven the Swift Sport back in 2013, sure its no joke but its no way near as stable at higher speeds,it very agile at tight bends but fails to mask under steer like Fiesta does, Th steering has a dead centre At speeds excess of 120 kmph, one feels like its gonna take off from road and steering is really vague, also the self centering at speeds is terrible,it just centres very aggressively but the rear suspension makes it bounce off and shakes the cabin violently, Its smart handler say between 0-120 kmph, any speed above that the Swift is nervous and lacks the panche of Fiesta or even Polo,, Sure Polo is a little boring but its straight line speed is even better than Fiestas and even stability is better than Fiesta, The steering of Polo and Swift has almost same feel but the dead centre of Swift lets it down even more At slower corners Swift felt faster but at fast corners Polo destroys SWIFT, So as for me my requirements for a hot hatch the Polo Gt Tsi and the Fiesta ST are the ultimate choices, Fiesta ST is King I wud say, even if it costs a little bit more than Swift its 200% worth the extra cash,

  34. No excuses Germany >>>>>>>>> Great Britain All British brands suck... Jaguar, JLR,Aston Martin All are over priced and are significantly worse than competing Germans or British name plates bought by Germans

  35. Ray_7 675LT easily got beat by 488 GTB despite huge power to weight advantage, is not any more fatster around tracks than 488 or even Huacan around some tracks P1 again got beat the hell up by 918 time and time again Whats Nebula , see say about something thats really mass produced and sold world wide One77 just like all Aston Martins, over weights thats are too drifty and make way way way slower lap times than their competing German cars
    1
  36. Ian Nixon Who cares, Still even today US people bought more Mercedes,Audi,BMW than Cadillac,Lexus,Acura,Infiniti combined
    1
  37. But overall I like it better than Ibiza now, the previous Fiesta ST I have had such a drab interior that I always try to forget by pushing pedal to metal, this one looks and feels like its nearing Skoda levels , still not VW perfect, but way more funky than VW interiors I am really looking forward to the new Fiesta ST, its said to have a new twin scroll turbo attached to the 1.0 i3, its stated tune is 180 HP @ 6000 rpm and 170 NM @ 1750 rpm, and over boost to 200 NM is made for 15s between 2000-4000 rpm, The new Fiesta ST is lighter than old ST by 15 kgs so Ford says it wont affect performance while the 15 kg has been shaved off from front meaning even more sharper front end All I am worried about is turbo lag, the 1.6 had almost no turbo lag, gotta see how the new 1.0 180 HP does
    1
  38. S Miller Yes thats what I too am confused about The source from which I got data is pretty reliable though The 1.6 makes 240 NM between 1800-4500 rpm What the source said is that the 1.0 i3 revvs faster than the 1.6, so reaches peak power faster hence wont affect performance, Still a bit skeptical as I too dont think HP alone can make the Fiesta be as fast as old one

  39. Mazda is gonna roll , probably gain ground in the automotive world like no other brand has ever done b4

  40. Stupid, a Ford KA+ s way better than this crap
    1
  41. No need for 4wd on a car like ka+ , ignis 4wd too is shit , its just there thats it, u cant even do mild off roading with it, Also just feel the doors etc of ignis, i felt like its made of cardboard paprr, that pathetic is the built quality, compred to thst ford felt better, Also ka+ is more spacious inside too, and gets 48-52 mpg real world, drives way better too as its Fiesta mkV underneath ka+
    1
  42. Samuel Brooks Ka+ is all about good old motoring, Carrying 4 in good comfort, it dosent need gimmicks like led lights,keyless entry etc, its like a throw back into basic motoring of early 2000s, simple machine thats good to drive, is comfortable,spacious and light on sipping fuel
    1
  43. Samuel Brooks Sure but who else has a competitiom against Dacia, VW has Up,Skoda Citigo, Nissan Micra,Suzuki Swift etc are Dacia rivals, all of which are worth a fight with Ka+, The Ka+ is all about basic transportation, the KA+ is simple and old school, an old NA engine ensures long life with minimum troubles unlike TDCis and ecoboosts which does have isses post 75k kms, Its more comfortsbly sprung than Fiesta because it focuses on ride comfort more than sportiness, it drives well because its Fiesta MK V underneath, its spacious for a hatch back, its super small in demensions so easy to park,manuver and drive. Its sure a means to push Fiesta upmarket as well, but not that alone, the KA+ is a very good car, once U try it out only U ll understand, one will feel like why we pay for all gmmicks when one can get all basics of transportation right in a 11k city car

  45. emdec55 See u wont get the 1.6l turbos or 1.6 diesels or even 2.0 dieesl mills in USA in such small cars in USA, if German brands release them, they wud ve stormed the US market, they r not releasin them cuz they r getting more than enuf profit from the big boys like s5,5 series, GLA,CLA,E class etc Whatever other people may say, Japanese cars are built cheaper than Germans, its like authentic premiumness in German cars whereas in Japanese competition or any lowly priced same league competition its not authentic, its made to feel like premium  Its like choosing pure leather wallet from faux leather, nowadays faux leather can be made as good to look as pure leather but someone who really needs the authentic real leather knows how it feels and will choose that Same case goes between an Audi and a VW,Ford,Mazda,etc everybody knows Audis are rebadged VWs but people still pay more 4 the authenticity of Audi

  46. Soren Lausen See u wont get the 1.6l turbos or 1.6 diesels or even 2.0 dieesl mills in USA in such small cars in USA, if German brands release them, they wud ve stormed the US market, they r not releasin them cuz they r getting more than enuf profit from the big boys like s5,5 series, GLA,CLA,E class etc Whatever other people may say, Japanese cars are built cheaper than Germans, its like authentic premiumness in German cars whereas in Japanese competition or any lowly priced same league competition its not authentic, its made to feel like premium  Its like choosing pure leather wallet from faux leather, nowadays faux leather can be made as good to look as pure leather but someone who really needs the authentic real leather knows how it feels and will choose that Same case goes between an Audi and a VW,Ford,Mazda,etc everybody knows Audis are rebadged VWs but people still pay more 4 the authenticity of Audi USA is wierd specially since elsewhere in the world German reliability is almost in the same range as of Japanese Also note that 90% Japanese have less complexity in design,function,parts etc compared to German ones, like Y is it that most Eastern brands still use atmospheric engines while Germans almost 90+% are turbos, so despite being turbos they are something that can hold on to dead simpler NA engines, so give credit 2 that engineering prowess in between I am not German as well for being biased, I am actually a lover of Ford cars

  47. Matt That dosent mean they dont have gasoline products naa, even today Americas best selling luxury car is BMW 3 SERIES,Audi A4,Lexus GS,Mercedes e class, mercedes c class, etc and its more german than Japanese or American despite cadillacs ubiquous efforts In SUV segment its Audi q5,BMW X3,x4,merc GLA,... Are bestsellers even after thrashing em based on reliabilit,Y? Its all about authentic class,quality,craftsmanship,power,handling,and luxury in harmony, unlike Japanese and American pseudo luxuries that nails any 1 quality but sacrifices others in huge margins.
    1
  48. Matt Thats a turbo diesel , and still its a turbo, and the 2.2 sky active diesel is derived from PSA 2.2 HDI diesel engine in case you didnt know, The same engine is as reliable and as quiet as in Mazda in psa,applications as well,Mazda just named it sky active because they made little changes to it , What u really dont understand is about petrols, Mazda still sells less than 5% cars with diesels , and even after so much promotion from lot of sources itself people are still preferong VW GOLF or Ford Focus over Mazda because Europeans like more quietness,more balanced riding,more stiffer cabin,more dense soft touch plastics,more advanced turbo diesls with better gearboxes like DSG over Mazdas,
    1
  49. Emedec55 And my problem is I didnt find it substantially better than a VW golf,Ford Focus,Opel Astra, already the A3 and bmw are far more expensive rivals,imports as well, Its what one wants from a car,if one thinks Mazda 3 is as luxuruous as bmw and audi its wrong,its better value hands down,but is it value that counts most,for me I cant live with a car like Mazda 3 with its stiff ride which Matt Watson ignored and the super crappy cabin insulation that makes me feel car is made out of tin can and the not so robust thudding doors and the infotsinment system that looks like Mazda was trying to copy VW and BMW all at one go, I also tried increasing the volume of the head unit inside Mazda 6 not 3 and there u go the speaker grill startes rattling with good bass sounds from speaker,never have i faced such issues even in a Golf or Focus, Thats why I say,Mazda is giving car for better price but its not like it hasnt cut corners its cut lot of important things as well,like ride comfort,tge British B roads are damn bumpy and Mazda 3 will five u spine tingling ride compared to plusher Ford,VW,BMW,AUDI Is that a sacrifice I make to get bigger engine and more power,is the super crappy cabin insulation a negative, why ignore it as if it dosent matter much,it annoyed me a lot,not only in Mazda 3 but also in 6

  50. Phillip Williams The funny thing is the 2.2 diesel architecture used by PSA was adopted by Ford first for Mondeo which then went to previous gen Mazda 6 as well and Mazda took a sweet 7 years to develop it into what it is now, the same architecture was also used by Jaguar in their 2.2 l diesel
