Plenty of laughs and an insight to which of these cars is the best bang for buck.

Adheesh B ur a tru hero
I was getting bored so started to read comments...thanks for saving my time bro
Whats wrong with you, the first part was interesting too
Thanks
Thank you
Wow, Tiff must have got those gear shifts 99% spot on to have come that close to a dual clutch. Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼
This had so much of a new "old" (2002) Top Gear vibe man, so enjoyable.
jamdc2000 wow that’s high praise. The boys will be smiling like a fat kid with 🍰 🧁
and I swear, it is true. Three real petrolheads, having a nice time, fooling around like kids with new toys, I am really happy that youtube recommended me this channel.
jamdc2000 glad you found us 👏👏
yes, cant wait
Definitely more like fifth gear lol.
Really gives that Top Gear vibe. Was laughing he whole time with the test. Really love it. Love to see more of these three
TheZonics that’s great to hear , really appreciate your kind words 👍👍
Got the Polo and it is quick and fun. Deserved winner!
Nice car !!
Autos are not fun and polos are boring
A nice line up/ comparison and one of the most entertaining videos so far. Enjoyed
marklima74 thank you for these kind words. We agree, this was a good one 👍👍
Meanwhile, in the U.S., we get none of these. But if you want a performance crossover, we have you covered. I'll take that Yaris GR MN, because it is the most basic race inspired interior. But, any of these hatches would be great.
Matthew Longtin we hear that 👍👍
@@lovecarsTV I really want Hyundai to give the Elantra GT the N treatment here, similar to the i30 N.
How this hasn't been picked up by someone like Netflix or Amazon, Great shows on a limited budget Well done chaps !!
Ron thanks for the very kind words. High five to being picked up by either of those and one day we may get to topple a statue of Paul 😂😂😂
Well I've got a Fiesta ST so I can confidently say that's my preference.
Mat Gee good choice 😍
It’s the only decent car ford do
sp royals hmm focus RS ? Ford GT ?
Mat Gee I got it in the Silver Fox color, loving it
You got one? I'm sorry for you!
Few people hold a candle to Tiff's driving. Very cool.
AllAhabNoMoby Sir Tiff !! And yes he’s the Don Juan of driving 😍😍😍
Because he was doing J-turns before the others were born.
Es ging nur geradeaus 😂
Vw polo ♥️♥️♥️ for life VW polo made in Germany and made many cars like Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti
The year Volkswagen began targeting the super-luxury market was 1998. Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti all became Volkswagen Group companies during that year.
100 subscribers with 1 video CHALLENGE!
The polo is made in South Africa
@@connorleeduckworth8952 spain
Giuseppe Geps Pintaudi Incorrect - The GTi is made in South Africa - mine even has it on the build sheet and small parts labels all over the car
Summing up the essence of what hot hatches should be able to do. Great job (and a lot of fun too I think).
Edward Van. Thank you and that is what we tried to get across and hopefully we did !!
@@lovecarsTV You sure did!
@John Riley Not right now. Tracks are really quite expensive so difficult to achieve on a TH-cam budget but exciting things coming, so who knows
John Riley we do get a track from time to time, we may try and do this for this sector with a couple more cars. Which would you like to see ?
John Riley thanks John and when a car has character they are much more loveable
Bit funny when Tiff called the Fiesta British, when it’s an American brand, but actually been developed in Cologne/Germany, just like every recent compact Ford in the last few decades.
kraenk12 assembled or built ?? In Britain??
Lovecars No, built and assembled in Cologne. ;) Some parts may come from Britain but I don‘t know exactly which.
Fords are actually more german cars than Volkswagens 😂👌
suicidefish the good bits 😂😂😂😂
Käikkönen they must be good then 😂😂😂
Yeah baby Yeah, keep them coming. Love these.
Mohammad Rasoul Fard-Habibi 😂😂😂Thank you and we love making them 😍
Awsome way to start my day!!! Thanks Love Cars. Great video and content as usual!
We are here to help !!! Hope you have a great day
@@lovecarsTV thanks alot!! Same to you fine folks at Love Cars. In front and behind the camera
Fiesta all day
AL91 good choice 👍
AWESOME as always guys :-)
Keep up the great work,
The channel is going from strength to strength :-)
What great presenters and a great team you have behind them :-)
Cheers
Mark
This is a car show with banter and giggles; no Holywood production and script needed
Thank you Mark for these kind words. We love what we do and are happy you enjoy the content 👍👍
Steven Walker Glad you like it. I think the boys enjoyed this one
@@lovecarsTV
You're one of the better Car content channels that is on TH-cam :-)
And the video's and production get better with each one :-)
It's very evident that there's a very good crew both in front and behind the camera's :-)
And it really does show how much you ALL enjoy doing it :-)
The way everyone bounces off each other
You simply can't fake thing's like that :-)
And it's awesome to watch :-)
And having been here since the start, it's awesome to watch how much it's growing :-)
All the best
Mark
@@MarkHossNorthwestrcclub Boom !!!! those kinds of comments make it all worth it
Bravo, another smashing video!!!
Alan Bowers Bravo to you Alan for being such a fine judge of automotive content 👍👍👍
picking up my polo gti tomorrow , such an underrated little car
The thing I like about these hot hatch cars is that despite being an old man, every time I drive one I feel like I'm 17 again and just passed my test. Another great video fellas
Thanks and we know exactly what you mean. Impossible not to put a smile on your face 😁
I'd probably pick the Fiesta.
Claire the Loon it looked really good when moving 👍👍
Fiesta have best undercarriage
Haha that looked lots of fun! Great video guys!
NFoxtv Thanks and Yes they loved this one 👍
More thrills and spills and you've got yourself a good video. Just well done finally!
Norman Zainal appreciated 👍
Those test looked really fun, they really hit the nail with the review
Thanks
Yess, finally something with the Yaris Görömönö!
Finnish Car Guys we aim to please 👍👍
Another great video guys. I would take the Yaris GRMN any day out of all of them. Sadly it’s limited. 2nd I would take the ST but in ST-1 with just the £925 Ford Performance option totalling to just over £20k. Love the Fiesta ST.
Haider Sohail I dont imagine you would be on your own with that thinking ✌️
awesome video guys, keep em coming!
helopoblgwyn thank you for this kind comment, much appreciated 👍👍
Polo gti for me...but I got mine in may 21 lol.
Great to see Tiff doing what he does best...ove this on yt
Considering the price, the Polo is the much better buy.
It’s the one I’d take home!
Dani Santos seems to be very good value for money 👍👍
Lovecars WOW, really impressed by how you seem to reply everyone.
Really is something that is missing in TH-cam nowadays, actual interaction with their viewers.
Keep up the good work, you’re getting there!
Dani Santos our fans love us and we love our fans 👍👍👍 it’s a two way thing
Nice car, but you can have that automatic transmission.
@@VAspeed3 manual is available now too
I like this type of car review :) no need for explosions, going to Australia, USA, Japan! Just great car reviews :)
John Austin thanks but I want a holiday !! 😂😂😂
You always put the fun factor into motoring...well done lads
Robert l We appreciate the kind words 😎✌️
Love our fiesta from Lawrence of Kemnay. Give this garage a shout. Look after all the customers. This is what we need from our local garages
Big shout out to Lawrence
Anything Tiff drives usually wins yo. Tiff just is the better driver
Clorex Bleach not this time ✌️✌️
@@lovecarsTV - Everytime.
But the polo won lol look again
I love the banter, and Tiff is one of my favorite presenters ever, But I feel these videos are left without conclusion.
The shenanigans are great, but add something a little more serious to conclude.
wesleysuperman I suppose it’s getting a balance but thank you for you kind words and advices 👍👍👍
Testing in wet conditions, wow results are spot on
I've shown this video to my 15-year old son and all his friends and every single one of them picked the fiesta as the best-looking, the Yaris came last.
Hi Adam. Tiff and Paul aren't the best two people for enjoying the ST's looks! All of the crew (who are much younger!!) think the same as your son and his friends!
I WANT THE FIESTA
GLR great choice 👌
I think it's the best looking especially with those wheels
love the GRMN
💕
Love cars is the best new channel. Its gonna blow no doubt about it
pollumG New ??? Jeez We’ve been going for nearly two years 😳😳😳
Yeah but with the great content and presentation you guys should be on a million plus... Its coming.
I only subscribed a few months back.. So TH-cam algorithms suck
pollumG well they got you here in the end !!😂😂😂 thanks for the kind words 👍
Gentlemen you have done it again, top quality video 👏👍lovecars best on TH-cam.
Lesley Davies never a truer word said today ☝️😎☝️
6:55 I need to start thinking like this when buying a car
Xenon Games Tiff was an advertising man in a previous life 😎
really wish the POLO was available in the US id have one. besides DSG is very nice. not manual but highly enjoyable! love you guys and your content.
Tim Dead thanks a lot. Shame as the Polo is a really nice car 👍👍
The previous gen manual is actually quicker than it’s DSG counterpart, with far more torque 🎉
@@slainclothing9348wrong
From 2018 mostly all we’re dsg
With 2 litre turbo and had the same torque as the 1.8 had.
Because it has a better auto gear box now
Wait a minute. I fastforwarded because well 16 minutes could have happened in 4 minutes. Classic James May!!!
🤷♂️
Comparatively “low budget” video but always clicking, watching and loving them. Keep it up!
Sam Brown we are working hard and loving what we are doing and hopefully it’s working ?? Thanks for the kind comment
Lovecars
Well lets say it was a naturally and less forced funny video about messing about in cars than a massive budget car show that might have just been released. Just 3 guys that like cars and giving honest opinions!
Fully loaded Polo GTi+ has the lot
it looks horrendous
I wouldn't say it looks horrendous, it's definetly the "best" daily driver of the 3 but also the least emotional and boring one. Regarding price and fun I would definetly pick the Fiesta tho.
@@thestigsaustriancousin3879 ibiza cupra
These videos are a joy to watch, keep up the good work.
I think the ST might edge it slightly for me as you can't get the Polo with a manual yet.
faisalleeds kaboom 💥💥💥 now that’s what we are talking about !! Thank you for you kind and very accurate appraisal 🙄👍
Get the previous gen. Much cheaper and just as fast. Plus it looks better.
Just a comment on leaving traction control on - the previous gen Polo GTI 6C limited boost in 1st and 2nd with TC on, even more with windscreen wipers on. TC off and it's all there.
Thanks good to know
Wow, what different personalities. And, THAT'S what we want to learn about- not the hard numbers, anyone can get those. Honestly, the Polo IS the best daily driver of the bunch, the Fiesta ST gymnast, and the Yaris the weekend play toy. I'm getting older, so, I thought I'd be Polo all day long, but, if it's real money coiming out of my wallet- the Fiesta ST would be my personal winner. Functional, can actually fit 4 humans, trunk for groceries, good MPG's for commuting- yet capable enough to entertain me when the roads are empty... It actually works for all of it. Compromise is the name of the game for hot hatches- I like the choices and variety available... Oh, and a nod to Tiff- 'cuz he's the best.
Thanks for the very kind comments David
Oo this looks interesting, 3 great cars, amazing how much the Polo now looks like a Golf
Planet Auto that’s probably the 5 🚪 ??
Lovecars it’s the front in general, rather wide, and yes the 5 door possibly too.
First time I've heard anyone claim the noise coming out of the exhaust is artificial and synthetic... !
I guess we take it that the Polo is a better car in the wet...!
Man i‘m a german Porsche/VAG/Audi type of guy, always was. Yet i have to say these 2 Polo competitors surely proove to be Polo BEATERS. Very awesome cars, would love to get a go in them, yet i still cant help myself and just think of all the potential in that polo, i‘d still go for that i think 😜 tho i wouldnt mind owning that Fiesta either.
Both nice cars 👍
I have a fiesta ST-3 and launch control does work you need to initiate it in the menus! Its great for an everyday car with a little bit of bite when needed.
King Chub he’s over 50 it just doesn’t go in like it used too 🤯🤪
Lovecars 🤣
That was awesome gentlemen!
More affordable cars on the channel ☑️
wtfdididolastnight the community asked and the boys delivered !!!👍👍 thanks for your kind words
Fiesta the best hot hatch
I agree
Nothing wrong with the DSG box during the J turn, it was more the technique, I have a DSG in my current 1.0 Polo, the trick really is to put it in neutral just before the flick, then drive mid turn, use the brake to find the clutch bite point, and then accelerate and you'll easily spin the tyres. It's more the time the clutch engages 1st rather than the change of gear, I learned that off lights, get the clutch to bite, before accelerating, otherwise if you just slam the accelerator it hesitates as the clutch engages.
Best car show on TH-cam by miles. I hope you have a long and fruitful future.
lightofjahs Kabooom💥💥💥your not wrong !! Haha 😂 great comment!! The boys will be happy with that 👍👍👍
You should check out "the straight pipes"
They're a bunch of Canadian lads but I love them! I'm liking what I see from these guys too!
Drag race starts at 12:07
Thank me later☝️
I got loved by lovecars thank you mate 🙏
Automatic transmission in the hot hatch takes a little bit of "hot" out of it.
BlitzkriegRap yep but if you’re in your 40s this is ok ???
@@lovecarsTV if your in your 40's and male. You should not be driving either of these 😂
em vee Good point 😂😂
How, if it wins you drag races? Is losing hotter?
Another boring comment about how manuals are better 😴 everyone has different tastes. Get over it!!!
Fiesta is understated and doesn’t look too flashy but it’s fun to drive. Now on my 2nd.
Love the Yaris GRMN
Me too 👍
British Ford 🤣 designed and produced in Germany
Darko Cvetkovic nothing wrong with a little German British collab 👌👌
Darko cvetkovic the majority of the team that produced the ST are mainly British and has been since the days of the cosworth
@@largeChongus97 ehm, no. Ford has a big engineering plant in Aachen and Cologne. Cosworth engines are constructed at FEV in Aachen and in GB. The Fiesta is engineered all over the world, but mainly in Germany in Cologne and Aachen, also it is tested and built there. Ford has it's biggest plant and the biggest weather-test center all over the globe in one of their multiple plants in Cologne.
@@Kai_ST200, I know, everyone knows that, but the individuals who developed how the car handles etc etc are mainly British. With the exception of guys like Tyrone johosn and dave pericak who are American and couple of German guys, but that's why the ST has a big presence in the UK
@@largeChongus97 ehm no, i was one of those guys, who was involved i developing a Fiesta ST. So i know, what to say. Some guys are non german or british. But most of them. Also the university of Aachen, RWTH, did some work with it's WZL. I know many of the suspension and drivetrain guys, because i testdrove it before it was on sale
First of all congrats you are doing awesome reviews
Now lets talk about the cars the polo Gti is a classic VW its practical-ergonomical-good mpg
has a lot of torque but its heavy and the running costs of VW cars in general are plenty.
the fiesta Is the clear choice if you want a car with good ride quality nimble handling good response and plenty of power and reliability .
the yaris is a track car for the road the chassis is reinforced the engine is a toyota 2zz-ge engine with a supercharged
Than means its reliable it has good response and a lot of hp
but the low end torque is an issue but who cares if you are in the track you will never drop bellow 4.000 RPM.
Raven Guard thank you ever so much for your kind words and would you like a job 😂😂😂
It isn't the 2zzge lol!
@@lovecarsTV but... He said it's a 2zzge and it really isn't!
@@AntJoseph_ my bad. It is a 2zrfe engine that utilizes dual vvti intake and exhaust variables Valve timing.
In comparison 2zzge uses vvtli
@@kickasssince90s43 Huh... I know that lol
I’ve always loved Tiff.
suitsyousir1980 he’s a bit of a legend 🤴👍👍
Fun stuff!!
DaxXx988 thanks 🙏
Polo GTI 🔥 DSG is just way better than manual!
Very true
Great job Lovecars! Im gonna get bashed for this, but I missed Clio RS220 Trophy...
Thank you
I saw one of them Yaris's yesterday...Well nice !!
Richard Fern did it have the same livery ?? Did it sound like you had a 🚀 in your pocket ??
@@lovecarsTV Yep ..centre exhaust.....!!
hey guys i see on the polo the lights r flickering somehow how d u manage to switch that headlight flickering function been trying on mine no success
khutso brian probably just the data capture rate on the camera 🤔
It’s due to refresh rate on the camera and polarisation of the lens
Great content as always. £26000 for a Yaris??!!
Makes the Hyundai i30N look like a bargain. So much more of a car.
Civic Type R too.
Thanks and We know you love a limited edition 😎
Dirty Donki Ryan agreed 😂
@@henkstols9326 It's not as exclusive, and maybe even not that interesting..? Never thought I'd say this about a Toyota Yaris...
Henk Stols ...that a Yaris is interesting
Curious that the pricing is so different over there, in Belgium the ST2 starts at €23 100 while the Polo GTI starts at €27 300.
So the Polo is nearly 20% more expensive.
B. Garrison wow that’s a big difference 🤯🤯
Tariffs
Can you do a comparison of the Fiesta ST against the BRZ/ GR86?
Both affordable by proper fun cars, with very different approaches!
I’m interested to see your thought because I’d love to buy the new Fiesta ST, but am currently weighting up against the GR86!
i don't know man! i just love this 3 hatch...and i love this 3 hatch to be compare...
Polo Nice
You should also make about wrx sti
Grmn is a epic little thing.
moto-gte it sounded great and looked the most ‘hot’ of the three and Ryan loved it 🤗
You'll keep getting fans and money one day you'll have 100s of thousands of subs,and low budget?this is such high quality
Mr Swizy thank you 🙏 and great things are heading this was 😎😎
There's a sport model Yaris? Cool
Tiff is the most nervous passenger! I guess the man prefers to be driving...
Alexander King haha Aren’t we all ? 😂😂😂
Tiff is such an old man with his opinions and preferences and its hilarious!
Es_Ist_Roy_vR We are glad you find him amusing. We need to find him a rectangle steering wheel 🤯🤯
That ST sounds fantastic
RockSolitude looks pretty good too 👍👍
This is an amazing channel. It will probably explode soon!
Thank you so much and we have exciting stuff ahead of us so the explosion is imminent !!
@@lovecarsTV Looking forward to it!
big fan of tiff
Nabeel Work bit of a ledge is our Tiff 👌
@@lovecarsTV Such a lovable down to earth guy he is! been his fan since i saw him on fifth gear
One of two people whose opinion Clarkson respects 👌
Nice to see local filming at the Othery twisties ;P
Fiesta and Polo has bizarre huge wheels... omg
Terradyn86 crazy 😜
In the others dragraces the Yaris wins, so... The driver is the answer!
These were very wet conditions, so that also played a big part in outcome
Yeah
Great video, you all seem like a nice bunch however:
You cannot buy that polo for 20k in the UK
It’s a Gti plus with:
Optional paint
Optional wheels
Optional climate control.
Probably more like 23k.
C M Large 🤔🤔🤔🤔
It’s on the road price we state and usually include performance affecting extras
Realy nice video
Vasilis Pagonas thank you very much !! We really enjoyed making this one ☝️
I have the previous Mk7 Fiesta ST. I've been thinking about getting the Yaris because its supercharged and sounds awesome. How many cars can we say that about now? What do you guys think?
D its all personal but the Yaris did sound the best and looked the hottest but was the most expensive 🤔
Well it doesn't have the ECOBOOM engine.. I'm with you there!
@@drd6416 are the 1.6 ecoboost engines actually that bad? They seem to be capable of big power with only bolt on upgrades. I've had no issues.
@@MD-uu5nt Well the Ford fucup... Errr focus... Does. Major failure due to the engines being a strange build with no gaskets between block and head. I dunno about the Fezza but personally I wouldn't want to chance a small high power (boosted) mill. Obviously it's personal choice (I liked the previous one) but I'd need to know it wasn't likely to die...
@@drd6416 yeah, the focus definitely seems to have engine issues. I haven't heard any of the same complaints about the Fiesta though. There was an issue with a few going on fire but that has been dealt with in a recall. Aside from that they seem reliable.
"we don't have the budget"
meanwhile on the grand tour, a giant statue of Jeremy's head falls over
😂😂😂😂
My favourite is fiesta then Yaris then polo
kp46 we hear that 👍👍👍
So sad we're not getting the new st in America.
yyst yyst very strange 🤔
Tiff won the final challenge!
Andrew Norris no doubt 😎😎
Love Tiff
bkcin86 arise Sir Tiff 😂😂😂
Keep up the good work, from a new subscriber!@@lovecarsTV
'Fully loaded" yaris but no led headlights 😆😆😆
Xenon Games what was he thinking ??
A WRC like yaris would be even more fun. :-)
You predicted GR Yaris :D
..and lo and behold, Toyota made the GR Yaris.
And eventually we may even get on in the states!
Is the manual option for the Polo GTI available yet?
one of the reasons I bought the new polo gti its the most perfect daily driver on the planet ! hands down
Drag Race 12:01
Yaris cool bro ;)
Ordernd just the Fiesta. Any questions?
I want that Yaris
