Hi guys, I know you had an issue with the video when it was first uploaded but it was a glitch with TH-cam's player. Apologies for the inconvenience but the video is playing fine now so in case you missed it please check it out, Cheers.
Wait..why do you expire one at a time during each challenge? Makes no sense lol. For all you know the gti might be able to handle better than an st at high speeds, should do all thr challenges and tally the score at the end to see which was best
+douge1125 In the real world it wins anyway, it's the best seller. At the end of the day, we don't buy cars to do these challenges every day. I'm a long term Golf GTI fan (and owner), I certainly don't feel short changed... And yes, the Golf handles great at high speed.
+Lungu Gabriel agreed. He also said he was bouncing the ST off the limiter too in 4th like why??? I own an ST and autocross it every summer, boost starts to drop off after 5500RPM
Considering how inexpensive a trap sensor is, why are they using a phone app for the timing? Obvious answer, to cheat the lap times. It was pretty obvious in the video that the lap time with the Ford was stopped late. They didn't even bother to try and hide it.
So why was the Megane on the left side and the Focus on the right? I live in North America and we drive on the left, but our roads are different from yorus.
I've owned two Focus' and I believe they're over rated. I bought the second as I thought there was something not quite right with the first. Haven't touched a Ford since.
Paul swift is one if not the best stunt driver in the world in it’s ford STs he youses in he says they ar so gripy in mega fun to throw about so not a fair test if you ask me in hoo do you believe hmmmmm 🤔 in why dose he not throw the Renault about or the Vxr I no why coz Vxr is to bulky in the RS is shit
Tiff has to be the tackiest presenter ever...the way he stretches words twists his face is just over dramatic. He lacks a true witty sense of humor like Clarkson

Fifth Gear wx
The differences are like 0.5 of a second and they use an iPhone...
+Lungu Gabriel agreed. He also said he was bouncing the ST off the limiter too in 4th like why??? I own an ST and autocross it every summer, boost starts to drop off after 5500RPM
They have backup timers , how do you all never put that together... just like to complain 😌
@@LafemmebearMusic how do you know?
VXR very underrated.
just curious...why don't I see a mazdaspeed 3 ever on any hot hatch videos or challenges like this?
+ponrix They stopped making the mazda speed 3, thats why
Because there shit.
I don't think that an iphone stop watch is appropriate in such a test.
They are not using just an iphone... come on yall gotta be smarter than that
That Vauxhall looks really sexy, i want one
What about the Mazda 3 MPS?
Came to read the comments for the salt, was not disappointed!
Useless test... You are pressing the stop button on the phone at different places every time... 1 sec difference.
There is a playback error on the video. Please reupload fifth gear. Thank you.
Keep getting errors opening this vid. Other vids work fine.
Same for me on multiple machines (PC, Laptop, TV, Note 3, Vita) on multiple networks (home LAN and work VPN)
The video may well be crap, but it's so frustrating to not get access to it :-) Might just try and download it.
Cloxxki Downloaded with Keepvid.com , 480P worked, but no audio with VLC. Will try other viewer.
Yall stopped the watch late with the ford

no one cares about top end, how often can we do 150mph, we need 1/4 or acceleration comparisons
Bianco Chetty to be honest 20 to 100 mph and 62 to 0 is more relevant for real life.
it stops at 2:11
ya the video doesn't work :( please reload
Video doesn't play. Pls re-upload
Do they realise the VXR is limited to 155mph it can do about 164mph unlimited
Oh !! The video doesn't play
The video doesnt work!!
Somebody is not paying attention to comments. Come on fifth gear video is broken and needs uploaded again.
This video doesn't work plz reload it
Time after time, the Megane RS is proven to be the better car. I love reading the anti-renault comments. Let the salt flow.
OPEL
Should it not have been an RS Ford for a fair comparison?
Nope. These are cooking hot hatches mainstream everyday hot hatches, the rs is supposed to be that next level.
What are doing up there?Upload it again,nobody can see the video!!
It works now.
Such a really scientific timing method used. How surprising. Even my mega-rare TCE180 Megane is quicker than the Focus and Astra.
it doesnt wooooorkkkkkkkk
Haha to watch the ad and still the video doesn't work!!!!!
Yep doesnt work.
Replace the ST with the RS and it would be a completely different story.
+Azz K but the RS cost alot more than the cars here
ictdude1 No shit, it's a far better car it's obviously going to cost more
Azz K therefore this wouldn't be a fair match
Ford Focus ST £22,000
Vauxhall VXR £27,000
Ford Focus RS £30,000
More than fair, so fuck up
Azz K calm down mate haha besides that, these cars are designed to be sports cars the RS is designed to be a rally car
Fixed :-)
I thought the Focus was a world car so why didn't they have the steering on the correct side?
So why was the Megane on the left side and the Focus on the right? I live in North America and we drive on the left, but our roads are different from yorus.
Does not play
no helmets omg
nope its just doesn't work :-( wanted to see what the frenchy can do.
I've owned two Focus' and I believe they're over rated. I bought the second as I thought there was something not quite right with the first. Haven't touched a Ford since.
Mégane RS. 'nough said
This test is so dumb if they did it in a different order the result would be completely different
An oval track? 80% tyre grip not handling, 5th gear yis can do better than this

Paul swift is one if not the best stunt driver in the world in it’s ford STs he youses in he says they ar so gripy in mega fun to throw about so not a fair test if you ask me in hoo do you believe hmmmmm 🤔 in why dose he not throw the Renault about or the Vxr I no why coz Vxr is to bulky in the RS is shit
😂 the Meg RS 265 cup kills the shit Ford focus sanitary towel!
Much better hot hatch And laps the Nurburgring faster than the RS 😉
first
what did u win?
second
Tiff has to be the tackiest presenter ever...the way he stretches words twists his face is just over dramatic. He lacks a true witty sense of humor like Clarkson
I somehow agree. I only noticed recently but he does stretch words unnecessarily in a weird way
Better driver though.
Christ. Put an American in the Ford to drive. Outcome would have been very different.
Yes, worse.
Most Americans don't even know what "heel and toe" is.
Jody Harvey O_o ... LOL
