Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
It-s time for a FWD hot hatch showdown! Mat-s in the Renaultsport Megane Trophy, and he-s lining up against the Golf GTI Clubsport & Civic Type R! So how do they compare on paper? Well first up we have the Megane, which is powered by a 1. 8-litre turbocharged 4 cylinder to provide 300hp & 420Nm of torque. It also weighs in at 1, 368kg. Alongside the Renault we have the VW Golf GTI Clubsport. It-s hiding a slightly larger 2-litre turbocharged 4 cylinder under the bonnet, but its power output is down on the Megane, with the ability to deliver 300hp and 400Nm. It-s also slightly heavier, topping the scales at 1, 461kg. Then finally we have the Japanese contender - the Honda Civic Type R. It-s got the same size engine as the Golf, and however it-s slightly up on power, putting down 320hp & 400Nm. It-s also the lightest car here, at 1, 358kg. There-s one key differential here though - while the Megane & GTI are automatics, the Type R-s a manual! Will that be the key difference?

Hi Matt, Thank you for this wonderful drag races that you've done with the MK8's. But anyway I'm from South Africa and we don't have the Clubsport yet but I'd really love to see the Clubsport against the Toyota GR YARIS. I'm begging you matt do this for me because you guys are heroes of mine when it comes to these amazing cars! --

Amazing how that honda seems to lose in drag races but sametime after it hits 3rd gear would destroy everything else on screen with its 180mph top speed and that's not to mention it's corning talents smh truly exceptional and just as epic as that golf's duel clutch acceleration just awesome

Love the vids carwow! but I feel almost every video the civic is in is always set up to lose due to being a manual against automatic. Maybe try keeping it fair keeping cars all manual. No hate just a thought

Watch a video on the clubsport it could not get traction said it. was the worse golf ever after watching the video I agree plenty of power when it gets grip but been told it's a nightmare in the wet
reply

bah, the civic with those tyres, even from 50mph have a disadvantage, so not so fair test, in dry will win pratically every race, maybe not the 0-100 for manual transmission, but all the others

Even if the golf may have more horses, this proves that Germans are ahead of Japanese overpriced old tech craps.
People will say the type R is a track car. Meh nobody lives in track!

So daft thinking an automatic car is -faster- than a manual car when the difference is clearly on the upshift. I mean, if that matters to you then get an automatic.

He clearly doesn't know what a diff is. -Front-wheel drive with a diff on the front-. How else is power supposed to get to the wheels without a diff? Clueless.

CarWow should start doing videos on track so people can see the true value of certain vehicles.
Drag races have nothing to do with stock cars
