  1. Exactly. Far better.

  2. DS? As long as we don't get a C6 successor, they can piss off for all I care...

  3. Firemarioflower Why are you so angry that I didn't mention piss?

  4. Firemarioflower Yes, because ruining comment sections with heated arguments is 'doing something of use to the internet community'. I like how you tell people to 'man up', when it becomes quite apparent from your comments how insecure you really are. The louder someone shouts his arguments, the less confidence he has. Sure, you can say what you want, but for the sake of your own dignity and everyone else's convenience, please don't.

  5. Mickey Mouse Personal taste, there isn't all that much wrong with them indeed. I just don't like them. Practically every Peugeot and Renault since 2012 is a good car. The DS was French, to name something else. So was the 205 GTi and the Alpine sports cars.

  6. ...and it poisons children's lungs, and the electrics tend to be shoddy, and it's unreliable (DSG, TSI, the lot), and its at least as boring as these cars. Oh, and the kit is too expensive.

  7. It matches their egos alright.

  8. Firemarioflower He's just cracking jokes, calm down.

  9. Firemarioflower You're taking it too seriously. It's a joke, nothing to get cross over.
    2
  10. Firemarioflower I cannot believe how you can get wound up over a small joke. This compares in no way to insulting a dead relative (intentionally or not), this is just taking the piss out of BMW owners. If that offends you, you need to grow a thicker skin.

  11. Steven Steven Wait, who is 'you' in this case?

  12. A secondhand Quattroporte. But I'm weird.

  13. Sneaky_Krait True, but you wouldn't want to buy the cheapest one available, for the sake of reliability and keeping the monstrous maintenance costs in check.

  14. Photocopiers cost electricity, so yeah.

  15. Ben Weston True, they aren't. Frankly, the XE's poor rear seat space makes it more of a competitor to the Audi A5, BMW 4-Series and Mercedes C-Class Coupé. The rear seats in those cars are more for extra boot space, and the XE has doors to access this extra boot. It looks the part too, meaning it won't fall behind the two-door coupés.

  16. Firemarioflower A car usually wears a 'premium' badge because that badge at some point in history was applied to outstandingly good cars. However, not all brands deserve their premium status. Until the release of the Giulia, Alfa Romeo was one of them. Audi is still one of them: in the end, they're VW's that use slightly more posh materials. Your reasoning alone qualifies you as a badg snob. 'And now you petulant trolls somehow think that a Mazda is just as good?' In other words, you think a Mazda can't be as good as an Audi, because it's a Mazda... a classic example of badge snobbery. Plenty of analogue things? Such as? Also, nobody recommends the manual because it's hardly a pleasure to use. Meanwhile, everyone praises the Mazda's interior. Wait, so now it lacks torque and isn't as responsive? The former is a negative by-effect of NA engines, the latter applies to turbo engines more than anything. What happened to 'turbos suck if used for fuel economy'? The advantages you name are only noticeable for nitpickers, you need to actively pay attention to notice. Is that worth a price difference that buys you a secondary hobby car, for example your beloved classics (or multiple nice holidays for non-petrolheads)?

  17. As a petrolhead and keen Pokémon player (the regular games), I loved this video. Good job.

  18. Zero Ninety True. I mean, he's sharp on supercars too, but the way he could judge normal cars was priceless and unique.

  19. Dave 101 Thank you. You see, the Merc goes against everything its badge stands for, the Audi is a posh Golf and the BMW is about five million years old by now.
    2
  20. Dave 101 Indeed. The A-Class is also uncomfortable and has the worst screen integration in automotive history. It shares a one too many bits with the Renault Mégane and the Nissan Pulsar, the latter of which has enough rear legroom to compete two classes above. The Merc, however, is cramped. The Audi is completely taken to the cleaners by the Golf, which in itself is an overpriced Seat Leon. The Bimmer at least has RWD: it's my favourite of the three. But, with these prices, I'd have the similarly sporty Mazda or Alfa anyway. By the time you can get a 1-Series with enough power to make RWD fun, you might as well buy an Alfa Giulia 2.0

  21. Dave 101 The Giulietta is actually a very reliable car, contrary to what its badge implies. It's not without its issues, but it's far more reliable than the (believe it or not) problem-ridden VW Golf.
    2
  22. Dave 101 The Mazda is more economical thanks to its clever engines (they use more on paper, but less in real life) and its interior is far more ergonomical. The Alfa, however, has more torque and arguably a prettier interior design. The Giulietta, in my opinion, is even prettier than the already-gorgeous Mazda. Both are practical-ish, but far from excellent in this case. Both have fantastic handling. The Mazda is one of the most reliable cars in its class, more than the Alfa, but the Alfa copes better with rust. The Mazda is lighter, but the Alfa is faster. Long story short: which one's better for you depends on your preferences.

  23. Dave 101 I'm mostly taking motoring journalists' findings into account, mind you, because while I've been in both cars, I've never driven either. I suggest you test drive both and try them out for a bit, and judge on that :)

  24. Hero87 What generation Astra was that? More importantly, were you driving like a twat? joe bloggs The Mazda is significantly lighter and is therefore at least as sharp as the BMW, despite FWD. Quality only applies in terms of panel gaps, but that's nitpicking whereas the Mazda is far more reliable. The 1-Series with more potent engines are too expensive to justify buying over a petrol Giulia. Depreciation is a heap of bollocks, you buy a car for you and not the person who buys it off your hands eventually.

  25. Ali Emre Kepenek I much prefer the Alfa Romeo Giulia, a competitor for this car set to come out soon.

  26. This man gets it.

  27. Young Den If we really need a talentless heap of scrap metal to compare her to, try a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. It too has a fat arse, by the way.

  28. derek400004 Everyone who spends even a minute on the Kardashians without using it to criticise them, spends too much time on the Kardashians.

  29. +Theweescot Apparently, you can see the future. Can I borrow those superpowers?
    2
  30. Theweescot 'Past experience' refers to the 207, the 307, the previous 308, etc. All cars from Peugeot's 'pig' era, when their cars were rubbish. They have recovered heavily since then, however. Modern Peugeots are actually good cars.
    2
  31. Theweescot The 206 is also a car from Peugeot's 'pig' era. It came out nearly 20 years ago and has nothing to do with modern Peugeots. Do you have any experience with a post-2010 Peugeot?

  32. jh5kl Fair enough, and the first A4 in the current design language was brilliantly done and very timeless. However, that was twelve years ago, they should've come up with something new well before that.
    2
  33. jh5kl I recognise that, actually. And thank you for the kind words :) Honestly, still don't like Audi's current design policy, but that's more a result of being overly conservative than poor designs. I stand by my critical point of view, but I do have to give Audi some credit.

  34. Well yeah, but even bloody EastEnders is better now.

  35. GeXExtremist Someone's a bit cross. Tee hee.

  36. So... umm... I was just mentioned in an argument I didn't even know existed. I don't know if I should feel honoured or not...

  37. Back in the day, Jaguar, Volvo and Ford were all part of the same company.

  38. But it's clearly better to have a Bentayga and then a supercar or a classic for a sportier driving experience, instead of a Bentayga with an overpriced clock. It's best to own a good car, though, not a Bentley tractor.

  40. Firemarioflower Which of the four people in this chain are you talking to anyway?
    2
  41. Firemarioflower You can actually type that stuff, which is what I always do. And honestly, I don't see how you got all that from me explaining someone else's joke.
    2
  42. Firemarioflower Actually, no. For the sake of aesthetics and the fact that I wasn't doing a seriously intended explanation (rather, a humourous statement), I don't need to include every possibility. Do you understand psychology now? Not sure to be impressed or sceptical.
    2
  43. Firemarioflower No, because VAG don't do aesthetics. Just simple, overdone lines. I haven't seen you do any of those things, besides unnecessarily asking me to add every other function of the male sexual organ to a light-hearted, ironically intended remark. That was English, by the way. It was full of slang and spelling mistakes, however.

  44. ZAMIN! Oi, you're right! Firemarioflower You wanna take this outside? But besides quoting the Fresh Prince, I have to say he's right. I'll make my argument here anyway for convenience, but then we ought to move somewhere else. The Audi A4 has looked the same since 2004. In fact, all Audis of that body type have. They're timeless, they're elegant, but they're also extremely boring. You can't expect to use the same design for 12+ years and not expect people to get bored with it. The Italians proved that style doesn't need to be complicated, modern-day VAG undermined that. No ugly cars? The Q2 comes to mind. Alas, Audi only has one truly beautiful car, the A5. That makes them horribly mediocre.
    2
  45. Firemarioflower It's his bloody comment, he has authority over it. He can't help that you get in an argument with everybody. ZAMIN! A lot is wrong with him, apparently.
    2
  46. Firemarioflower You claim to be so good at psychology, so you if anyone should know how I deduct your insecurity from your comments. And in case you didn't realise it yet, you pissed off everyone here, not just me. Nobody in this chain agrees with you, how can you be so arrogant to claim you try to enlight people by spreading 'the truth' (read: your opinion).
    2
  47. Wael Mkawer To be fair, the 'flower' bit in his name refers to a power-up in a game, not an actual real-life bouquet or something. Firemarioflower You are incredibly naive if you think the public is on your hands, you're incredibly arrogant if you think you're wrong and you're incredibly paranoid if you see everything as 'leftist propaganda'. This attitude will not get you far in life, trust me. For me, it doesn't really matter, but please change for your own good.
    2
  48. Firemarioflower Any solid evidence that the public is on your hands? It's three on one now, with the 'one' being you. That's part of a now-common trend of calling all differing opinions 'propaganda'. Both sides are guilty of this, mind you. Oh, there's nothing wrong with liking flowers, but I thought I'd clear up what the flower in your username meant. I was defending you for once, how can you get cross over that?

  49. I hate the French, and even I know they can make good cars. Get your head out of your arse, the Peugeot 307 went out of production ages ago.

  50. Mickey Mouse That depends on the type of girl. A Citroen DS attracts ladies past their expiration date. That said, a Mustang attracts shallow, trashy heaps of plastic and body spray and a supercar attracts gold-diggers. Good girls are had on personal merit, not via a car. At least the DS has rear seats. Plus, they're very sofa-like.
