Polo GTI vs Fiesta ST vs Yaris GRMN vs MINI JCW vs 208 GTI - DRAG RACE and ROLLING RACE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2018
- We’ve pulled together some of the greatest mini hot hatches for our latest drag race! There are so many contenders, this one is too close to call… Will the brand new Volkswagen Polo GTI snatch it thanks to its launch control? Or perhaps the Mini John Cooper Works with its 2.0-litre engine will be first to the chequered flag? But then you can’t rule out the Ford Fiesta ST, Toyota Yaris GRMN or Peugeot 208 GTI either!
All we know is, this is one video you won’t want to miss… LET’S RACE!

The Yaris was the only car who got a good launch. Other cars were sleeping
The car driven by Matt is always the first one off the line, in every single race
@@daniellopezhernandez6586 yeah I notice that whatever car he drives he always jumps the launch which makes it unfair
@@daniellopezhernandez6586Ahh ok I thought its this reason because the mini cooper has more hp and tq wich makes no sence
looks like man over machine
@@daniellopezhernandez6586 him have s better reactions
I'd have the Mini. It looks unique, sounds epic and as a few owners have told me, its one of the most fun cars to drive around. And after a little bit of tuning, it's very fast as well.
Mini for the win for me too
Minis are wicked and it’s definitely worth pointing out the jcw isn’t actually they’re fastest car
@@mattybrining1768 And the GRMN isn’t even the fastest Yaris. Apples and oranges.
@@mattybrining1768 do u guys kiss boys?
R53 is funner than F56
The mini is the most underrated car when it comes to racing people don’t believe in it because it’s seen as “girly”
True.. classic mini is the one in everyone's mind
The mini John Cooper works is nothing like a regular mini and there are barely any of them made, so not a fair comparison.
@@alexanderanghel7946there is loads of them on the road. i see tons, they are just the best in the class by a mile. the b48 with a tune eats past 300 as well
Nah. Most people know by now. A 208 GTI on the other hand...
@@alexanderanghel7946 literally more mini jcw than any of these on the roads. the gti and polo gti on other hand are rare to see
I’d bloody hope the Yaris wins considering how much it costs
@@bm_wuratli6883 yeah you’d expect that with its price
Cutest drag race ever?
In the United States, a few of those cars have MSRPs well over a Mustang Ecoboost 6-speed Premium, which has a very large trunk and even airconditioned seats. That Mustang would not only out-handle the front heavy FWD cars thanks to being able to balance turning and acceleration traction better, while having wider tires for more lateral grip, and close to a 50/50 weight distribution, with superior aerodynamics, but its 14.1 quarter mile would have been best of the bunch, and best at the roll on test as well. And at 32mpg for the ecoboost Mustang, it is identical to say the GTI. Brits need to recognize that performance oriented FWD vehicles are not necessarily more economical to buy or operate than a proper RWD pony car, and their only real advantage is that their shorter length makes them easier to parallel park. Next time include a V6 Camaro and turbo Mustang in the comparison, and see how attractive that Yaris really is.
username, check!
DumbDuck44 it's cheaper in the US because it's assembled there
traffbros ha ha!
Bro, wrong class!!!
1:22 KING OF JUMPSTART -Matt
Nah he had better reactions
He wasnt jumping, the others were just sleeping
put it in slow motion and you see him jump starting
@@alextmss nah mate fuck off
@Gerard Jachymiak
1. He didn’t jump the start
2. Shut up and stop being so aggressive
The mini John cooper works sounds the best it just sounds amazing
I cannot explain how much I love your videos Watson. Always perfect car choices.
What a privilege it was for you guys to use my car! Loved the experience and would love to do something like this again in the future! Didn’t win but don’t car the experience was what it was all about for me! Thanks again
the mini is on a class of its own. The Mini S is the correct contender for this group. The JCW should have won both by far.
I love this channel because it gets right down to the racing with all that extra intro stuff.
The Mini Has the Most Growly and grown up exhaust note
Really impressed with the Ford ... 1.5l 3 cyl keeping up with 2l and 1.8l 4 cylinders... Best fuel consumption as well... What a bargain...
worst reliability as well and shortest lifespan of an engine. what a fucking bargain
Shuffler131 Do you buy a car and keep it forever ?
+Edwin Simpson no but it's silly for a car to not last even 60k miles without breaking down like the Focus RS, also a 3cyl car rly, my bike has more cylinders lol
Shuffler131 a VW with a DSG has a bad reliability but how this Ford Engine performs After a few years or how Long it works the way it should that is something you can‘t predict now...
Shuffler131 there's no evidence to support bad reliability, the fact is ford have made an engine with the same performance as bigger engines is an achievement, in todays world where manufacturers are being hammered on emissions ford have been smart and BTW I have a 1.0 Ecoboost with a stage 1 remap running 165bhp and it's done 68k miles and never had a problem
That Yaris is a beast. Shame it's ruinously expensive!
Samuel Brooks I think it doesn't come to Europe
Jon Snow no there’s a few listings for it on the UK Auto Trader
Jon Snow it is in EU but you will see huracan or 488gtb more often than 130/400 cars.... My mom works for Toyota and there is one standing in dealership, man who bought it already wants to sell for 20% more
The reason the Yaris GRMN exists is for Toyota to get better suspension geometry on the Yaris WRC. They don't care if you like the price or not. It is also the reason why it is produced in such small numbers.
Samuel Brooks and ugly as fuck
Wow. Didn’t expect that Toyota to do so well... I’m impressed.
That polo is surely ready for some tweaking if it’s the golf engine.
With the same driver, the Mini would blow everything away here, and it should, as it's the dearest. At least though it's a regular performance model though, unlike the Yaris's limited edition, which is completely impractical for everyday use. And how slow was the Fiesta's driver off the mark?! Great video though.
Am I the only one who never heard of the Yaris grmn?
Edit : I've always wanted to edit my comment saying "OMG so many likes thank you" and now I'm finally able to do so lol.
OMG so many likes. Domo arigato
I've heard about it but I didn't expect anything close to this sort of performance, I'm truly stunned.
Salatiso Mdeni I know right? The fiesta, golf and mini are so well known all over the world and a freaking yaris comes out of nowhere and delivers this insane performance. Toyota has been becoming sporty lately. First the Camry xse v6 and now this..
Its a limited car
Toyota version Type R😂
@@Salatiso well it is a supercharged hatchback I was wondering how close it would be but man having boost 100 percent no lag is just insane
That MINI is impressive
Love stuff like this, straight line or not it interesting stuff imo. Matt and the team at carwow produce some of the next stuff on the net right now! Love it guys keep up the good work.
I believe the 208 limits boost in 1st and 2nd and only allows full torque in 3rd. Having a 2014 model GTI seems to prove this as a driving experience.
208 is fastest car there. But came last lol . I take type rs in it with a remap on mine
That Yaris must be soo much fun to drive! But UK price of 27k is far too much!
Imran Rajput ridiculous price
For a small plastic map hatch 27k is waaay to much. You can get a big hit hatch for that.
27 grand is cheap.
It's 42k euro in Ireland:(
MatrixSmith78 way too much for a tiny toyota
Your lightning reactions 😊 you are so modest mat 😊 congratulations for the best launch
Definitely the Mini for me! Took one for a test drive once and if I’m honest wasn’t expecting much but was absolutely thrilled after I’d took it for a spin! Would have snapped it right up if I could’ve afforded it! The sounds that came from it too!!! I also like the message displayed when sport mode is activated! 😃 The whole experience of it put a massive smile on my face! Absolutely without a doubt I’d have the Mini out of this list! If you’ve never driven one and have the chance would totally recommend it!!!👌🏻 Cracking piece of kit!
The yaris jumps !!!! MINI COOPER FOR THE WIN !!!
Mini would have won if Matt was behind the wheels.
No chance
If they use Ford Fiesta’s Lanch Control, Fiesta is win this race.
Mehmet Olgun Portakal it didn’t tho did it 🤣
Yes because Matt always jumps the start.
simonyzf1000r have you even watched the video? He didn't jump it.
wow 100% for the ford fiesta sounding the best so far...
carmadnab sounded like a little hair dryer to me. Mini sounded good and the Yaris
Love that video! Thats actually a race you could have with your friends as well :)
I’d like to have a go in that mini around some bends!
Matt can you review the 208 GTi? i know it's outdated but in my opinion is so underrated...and would love to see your thoughts on it especially on it's handling
You got a wicked start compared to the others too
They didn't react as fast as him, his timing was perfect
The GRNM yaris is one of the my dream hothatches gotta love the supercharger sound and sporty looks
😂 Every drag race he's in he always jumps the start 🤣
The Toyota and the Mini have the best exhaust sound imo.
Manakuski I agree, and also have my preferred four cylinder engines. Three cylinder is an odd engine in any car. Unbalanced with noticeable lag between shifts affects turbo and non turbo variants. Unusual non linear power delivery which I find tiresome.
@@oddities-whatnot new 3 cylinder st is much better than the old 4 cylinder st
@john smith not really maybe you drive a shit car
@john smith it sounds amazing from the outside
@john smith Bullshit, it resonate the original voice inside the car. Also without resonate it sound better than all of this cars. Just listen it outside.
You're talking nonsense because
you are reading only brochures child, you've never heard it live.
Best drag races from Carwow. Keep them coming. Impressed with the Yaris.
I swear i was expecting this performance from the mini Cooper ☺
The 208 GTI driver is a banana!
Peugeot sucked
@@marcelk3847 no fastest car there in the real world
@@thepenetrator2006 Maybe not fastest in a drag race, but Chuck it down a twisty road or round a tight track and it can out-handle all of them.
Love the Hot hatch drag races!
Best channel on youtobe.
First time I've really considered wanting a Yaris. Very cool
You jumped the start mat! Shockin 👍
Nice video, good job.
I didn't expect the 208 gti peugeot sport to be last tbh, it's usually really fast.
It is the fastest none of those cars ever beat mine
The mini is a hoot to drive and see if you can get one with the pro exhaust, what a sound
Only here to verify the race from the Grand Tour =D
Jeremy Clarkson : Givrimn grvinm grmmm ngvrmn :) idiot car name GRMN
Ok for a long time I hadn't been surprised in drag races but the Toyota definitely wowed me.
didn’t expect that from a granny car
Patrick Lindsay haha I was shocked aswel
Patrick Lindsay Granny car..... The Yaris sounds like a real sporty rallycar compared to the synthesized sounds the other cars make. In the Yaris you have to be able to drive by yourself instead of putting the car in "Playstation sport mode", put the automatic gearbox in "D" and just hit the gaspedal.
All these cars are granny cars in there base forms
Patrick Lindsay last time I checked a granny car don't come with a supercharger and 6 speed
Actually, the only grannycar I see here, would be the Polo. I think the design of the Polo is as old as my granny.. :-)
False start. IMO. However, this cars are funny not in drag race but in mountain roads, so a lap time in a Karts circuit would be great! ✌️
Duo Motovlog clearly, he showed that it wasn't a false start
Mohammed Waseem the goal was to show car performance, no the driver reaction...even in F1 it's the human time to react and no the lights off that decide a false start ✌️
Duo Motovlog I know, but everyone else was slow as fuck😂😂😂, Matt did well to react fast as possible
Agreed. I drove the Fiesta and could have started quicker but Mat is an expert at these things, this was my first time in a CarWow drag race and it took a bit of getting used to, better to be a bit slower off the line than jump the start by being too quick and have to get all the cars lined up to try again. I think if everyone started at the same time the result would have been the same anyway. The Fiesta put in a good show considering how much cheaper it was than the Yaris (£10k ish less!)
volkswizard Thanks a lot for you explanation! The Fiesta is a beast considering the small engine, and the price is very different indeed.
Usually the way with thefrench hot-hatches. Not the fastest in a drag, but the best handlers on winding B - roads.
Focus st, rcz r, clio rs, golf gti, Mini Cooper works 👍🏼 be an awesome race
That Mini is my love! 😍 I have to admit tho the Yaris get's extra points for being supercharged instead of turbocharged. I'd like it so much more if its physical character wasn't so soul crushingly bland, but that's Toyota for you.
Toyota is not bland. It has one of the richest racing histories ever and have made some of the best cars to ever come into existence.
No brake test? Awww :(
Oooh good start!
My Mini JCW was the best car ive had. The speed, handling and noise was just 👌
Man, that Yaris is something! Love them. Such a cool car! I'd pay the premium price for it, but I would be keeping it for a long time.
upgradedBACON there were two for sale on Auto Trader recently. Both about 22-24 K price
1:23 reaction of mat wins the race
That’s one quick Yaris!
Eish, still love this drag race after 3 years
Con-drag-ulations almost 1M subs 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The MINI must not have been in sport mode
I think that the mini shouldn't be in this race
@@sairayassar7845 neither should be in a 300ps race tho.... stick it with its own cat.. with the golf gti and focus st all around the 230-240-250 mark then.
mike walling Golf GTI and focus ST will leave it though. It’s a marketing thing, they’ve made it a super mini hatch and thrown loads of bhp at it even though price was its nearer the focus ST mark 🤷🏻♂️
Imposible Yaris won mini
@@mattsamuels3607 mini’s are faster then Gti’s, I’ve beat them numerous times in mine, not sure about ST’s though
What were yesterday’s A to B shopping cars.. are now making the same power, if not more than an original Sierra Cosworth.. incredible
I would probably go for the Yaris, it looks beautiful
But that Fiesta ST is beautiful... Blue and 3 door? Dream right there....
Should be getting my Yaris soon!!
you started almost 0.5 seconds before the rest LOL
Keep doing vids like this
208 GTI is so underrated
I agree, well i would has i currently own one, its a great fun pocket rocket and handles well, i think ford have copied so much of the 208 interior, but lets face it it needed a good makeover
the outgoing one was to much like the normal Fiesta.
The driver in the 208 GTi wasn't really good.. acceleration and the engine is way better than in Polo GTI.
Got a 208 as well, I’ve floored polo’s and st’s on straights. People don’t understand that the turbo doesn’t kick into 4K rpm and therefor shift into a higher gear to quick hindering themselves 🤔
So underpowered aswell by the look of this video
@@HowdyHartholz definitely isn't the new polo GTI has the same chassis as the Golf GTI and can be tuned hard. Don't get me wrong the 208gti is a fantastic car but not the same level as the polo GTI
Can't wait for the next Supra, they should make a new Celica too
They need to make a new Celica
S Khalid they will make Grazoo racing Supra ! That's gonna be badass
Celiac GT4 in 2018 trim would be epic. ST205 was the best car I ever owned and I’ve had some serious cars!
MCD I'm not sure if they will actually call it the supra, I hope not because it's actually based on the next z4. I just wish they made something like a 3JZ and not the same stuff from BMW.
The new supra looks like shit, but since it has the bmw engine it sounds quite ok.
These little beasts are dropping the 1/4 mile in a similar time to the Audi S2 you did recently, progress!
Yaris GRMN has to be one of the best hot hatches ever. Wish it was sold stateside!
The Fiesta did best considering it’s only a 1.5 with 3 cylinders.
Michael Mallory it’s a 4banger bud
nahum burca Not the mk8 fiesta. Now got a 1.5 3 pot
Agreed
WTF? Where is the Clio RS?
massi massinissa IKR
Broke down on way there hahaha just banter
massi massinissa I think it’s in tizi ouazo bro... by the way I’m just kidding with you don’t take it seriously lol
We don't give fuck about french car ...it is for Africa ...as usual Peugeot it the last one ....
in the junkyard
Must admit I thought he had gone early but fair enough, good reactions.
Polo, im on the verge of ordering one... fast enough I think
4:35 mini blue smoke lol
Blew*
My lightening reactions! 😂😂😂💀
Just for information, max torque is limited in 1 and 2 in the 208 :) and alors till the car has 3000 km, it's limited for protecting the engine ;)
Love my 300hp Mini. It's a rocket
Do the same race with the new 2018 cars for example bmw m140, Mercedes a45 amg, 308 GTI Peugeot, Audi S3, Ford Focus RS, Seat Leon Cupra 300, Honda Civic Type r, Vw 7 golf r ( Automatik DSG), Hyundai i30N, Renault Megane RS. Would be interesting to know the results.
Ano Ryujin rs3 will win
As above they whole lot of them will get munched by the RS3 whether it’s off the line or on a roll.
Ano Ryujin they better make sure the Golf R is DSG
Not All the cars mentionned above compete in the same category....
308 gti vs golf gti performance vs focus st vs i30n performance vs type R vs megane rs vs seat leon cupra
Love the mini
Damn, that victor in the background at 4:11 looks awesome
New Yaris is so Nice!!! Beautiful mini car!
The new Ford fiesta This is surprise
Yet in the real world i beat all these cars in my 208 gti ps ? 0 to 60 5.8 secs for me.
In reality the 208 should have beat most of these cars.
In a blind test...I would have guessed the Mini every time as it's torque to weight is superior
That's the best squad ever !
That JCW tho sheeesh 🤩
Love for the Fiesta💝
They’re about as exclusive as pigeon shit in london
Jethin Joy that car is beautiful. I love it too
I bought my MINI last month and I absolutely love it!
Never thought I'd say this, but I really like that yaris!
But how on earth the VW gti beat both yaris and focus in a drag race in the latest episode of 'THE GRAND TOUR'
It got a proper launch in this video
It all depends on the driver reaction.
@@mstrax0258 no it has
@@mstrax0258 dsg sucks
VW Group sponsoring The Grand Tour :)
Love the Polo, will think about it when the manual comes out. engine can do almost 300hp/ 400+ NN with software only. Best interior and good space too.
Haja.... then u woke up
The new Polo GTI 2.0 L EA888gen3 engine has the small IS12 and not the more powerful IS20 from Golf 7 GTI. So you cannot get to 300 hp with that small turbo. You'll need the IS20 or IS38 turbo from Golf GTI / R to get to 300+ hp.
Sranje👎
Golf fujjjj💩
Haja I Got 2 weak ago 1 with DSG. Love it. Polo best one !
Good job 👍
The GRMN is a bloody fun car to drive 😊 find one and buy it 😊
Spoiler Alert:
The hatchback won!
Noice
Should have done prices at the same time 😁👍
is the old vxr faster/better than the newer 2015 onwards one also what are the newer model issues/common problems?
Huge jumpstart dude.
I just couldn’t have a Yaris . I’d be too embarrassed regardless of performance
I'd rather have the Yaris than the Polo or fiesta.
@@mattshiz no one care what car do you eant to have
Why embarrassed LMAO yaris is the second expensive out of the bunch, more than R400 000 std and has record breaking reliability over polo 2.0gti which is R382 000 std, less reliable. Most expensive is mini jcw, followed by yaris, polo, I think st follows and peugeot gti last bcos its old version. I would prefer the ST though.
I have a normal Yaris. A gray one from 2012 and I am 20 years old. I feel no embarrassment, most of the people at my age drive around in an old rusty Ford Fiesta or equally rusty Peugeot. Do I get girls with my car? I do, when they compare to riding with a maniac that can't drive and has a tiny rusty ford... Honestly though, the club is a billion times more effective if you are after that sort of thing. I use my Yaris for driving from A to B, and it does that without any problems, and will continue to do so for a very long time since it is a Toyota. Yes it is not a very fun car to drive (but the GRMN is probably a different story), but I have smiled a lot driving it on a twisty road. All in all, just as a standard exam at university doesn't determine your fait, neither does your car.
Wow you're so sad, not even a car guy so don't watch these videos
This is what happens when Toyota makes serious sports cars❤👍
Yup anytime Toyota make a sport car it kills
Dude it's a limited edition made in Germany with more horsepower than all the other cars in the race
slice0909 the mini had 19 more horsepower
This is what i expect from a toyota
Toyota4life: Isn't Toyotas best known current run 'sports car' the GT86? A car that is outperformed by every single car in it's price bracket?
El yaris y el mini son carisimos para los coches que son, el mejor sin lugar a duda en cuanto a relacion potencia precio es el fiesta st.
in the may vacation i saw the mini jcw . and damn. it goes by gear shift . pops and takes off again. was an automatic
