Old Top Gear VW Golf GTi Vs Fiat Bravo HGT Vs Peugeot 306 GTi-6

[MarcoXalana]

The MK4 Golf is both the best Golf ever and the worst Golf GTI ever.

[waddlecaudle13]

Why didn't he use the coupe version of the GTI? Reduces weight and increases stability.

[TheRidingLifeStyle]

the fiat is the uglyest thing i have ever seen, peugeot is nice but has nothing on the golf!

[saiiad737]

if ever owned a golf you know the golf feeling than you know what best

[Cyrus1544]

Fiat is the best :)

[foukiosss]

anassgame How many bravos you see today in the roads and how much golfs ????? i almost forgot that bravo's exist

[shobin05]

GTi 6 are rare these days...thats because its becoming a classic!

[sprocket2389]

[TIMSKPFH]

wat is the name of the song in 3:40-3:48

[cb7pwn]

did he say v5??.... and then the rpm gauge stayed still as the car moved..... yes. i see the excellent german build quality right now.

[gadgetguy4000]

Ahhh the last generation of the crappy golf gti

[KIKY5555]

Volkswagon cars are shit - they SUCK REALLY BAD!!!!

[zeekzu]

@KIKY5555 you might be an old brit

[FragGile]

You can make a piece of shit  go quickly if you fire it out of a cannon, golf the best all rounder... FACT.

I had a HLX version of the same black Fiat Bravo as the one in Top Gear. It has to be said Bravo's, Bravas and Mareas are undeniably the most handsome looking cars of 1995-2001. HLX's and ELX's all had a beautiful front nose with elegant spot lights which were well ahead of their time. The interior designs were very ahead and no one has ever come close to a Bravo/a's looks since 1995. Not even the new Fiestas or any of Fords kinetic design comes close. Fiat had the looks nailed spot on.

[doraemon8061]

I will take the 306.... instantly

[haha9413]

i had a 1.8T audi A3 8L, da car is really smooth to drive on public road and interior is luxury (compare to other for the same prices in the market) i got the the car when i was 19 n now i am 24, had a few minor problem but is cheap n easy to fix.. but if u give me a chance to choose again i will go for a Honda Interga type R DC2..they both have 1.8 engine but B18C is way powerful then 1.8T even i got a K04 turbo in it.. oh well but i still loving it, at least it looks better then a corolla

[staggabob]

Weird..I don't remember everything looking so dated in 1998....

[MrUploadera]

fiat bravo the best

[MorGotH306]

Peugeot GTI6 Rules!

[discocreator76]

VWs are rubbish, ugly shapeless and unreliable...

[MillsyDT]

i raced a GTI 1.8 in my 306 mines a 1.8 not a gti6 and he wasnt getting away and he had 40 more hp and a turbo than my 1.8 16v

[ilia93]

GTI every time... fiat and peugeot might as well f*ck off

[GisMadz]

Jeremy is hereby proof jerk, talking about GTI's, then pick a wobbly familycar as winner, laughing me ars off

[bufu12388]

yes i do realize 150 HP engine= not fast. BUT unlike the others u do get a nice engine and a turbo which means that with a little bit of tweak and touch you could end up with 200hp and a sound that will make get goost bumps...

[WhatTheFproductions]

I was VERY close to getting a GTi like this, but I herd how unreliable and annoying it can be, and honestly 150hp is not enough to put a decent smile on your face.

[discocreator76]

@WhatTheFproductions Vws Golfs are awful, Ive have two and they were the two biggest mistakes of my life, VASTLY VASTLY overrated crap. truly awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WhatTheFproductions]

@discocreator76 Yeah, I know. My friend purchased a 2011 GTi and that car is awesome, but older gens are just crap. Instead of buying a GTi, I actually picked up a clean, lightly modified Acura Integra. I plan on boosting it a little bit (~7 psi) but other than that it's a very fun (and economical) little car.

[REPOMAN24722]

The vzr pulsar would crush all of them

[discocreator76]

The Golf was a fat, unreliable, ugly blob of a thing that was an embarrassment... awful...

[reilly972008]

i know 150 bhp for the golf is ok.. but when you consider its a 4cyl 20vale turbo charged engine.. 150bhp is kind of shit..

[rick9021090210]

Yup... the Golf it is...

[livc44411]

The MK4 Golf and the A3 have always been rubbish and always will be,heavy body with soft suspension is never a good mixture! ...I know a few people who work for VAG garages and they have always said to steer clear of these machines because of poor reliability! Anyways someone else I use to know bought a used MK4 GTi and sold it after a month he hated it so much. 306 would be my choice.

[macc70]

Its not just speed that counts. I bet the golf hasnt rusted itself to death like the FIAT or self destructed like the PIGEOT VW for trouble free motoring

[WillJPalmer]

mk4 gti is more restricted than softcore porn!

[reilly972008]

@WillJPalmer i couldnt agree more.. very poor bhp for the sort of engine it has..

[qwayker]

at 5:41 the rev counter stays still while the speedo is moving

[patthebrit3]

@qwayker fukkin CVT. Miracles.

[qwayker]

@patthebrit3 Volkswagen didn't had CVT Transmission

[patthebrit3]

@qwayker I know. But thats what a CVT does.

[alexhamster1134]

@qwayker yes, thats called coasting down a hill...

[qwayker]

@alexhamster1134 yeah, an 80% downhill?

[qwayker]

@alexhamster1134 On an airport?

[alexhamster1134]

@qwayker hey it was a tight shot, you never know ;)

[alexhamster1134]

@qwayker i meant the camera was close so its impossible to tell where exactly they are. clearly its a different take as there is no cameraman sitting next to clarkson in the front passenger seat.

[TheR32TURBO]

@qwayker zato sto je golf IV gti sa 1.9 tdi motorom od 150 hp, i ide do 5000rpm a ne do 7000 ;))

[bravo1616v]

@qwayker the well made VW... :X

[qwayker]

@bravo1616v Yes, i know. That's why i have a focus.

[AlistairVeyron]

@qwayker No. it;s moving slightly, if you look closely.

[ilia93]

@qwayker they've filmed it decelerating in neutral and then reversed the video so that it looks like acceleration ... i guess .. xD

[qwayker]

@ilia93 No, actually that's a very good point.

[taintedzion]

@qwayker Wow, jezza shifts down a gear ?

[m1rchegfn]

@qwayker it's called downhill with pressed clutch

[qwayker]

@m1rchegfn Yeah, 90 degrees downhill!!!

[anassgame]

i buy a FIAT BRAVO better than the FAT gti

[dalyr32]

gti not ave 180bhp or maybe later model?golf has always being the best hot hatch?

[anassgame]

You want a fat piss of shit you buy a GTI !!!!!!!!!

[dalyr32]

@anassgame if you want a gobshite get talking to this fool!!!!!!

[ancholight]

whats the year that was shot a fiat bravo 15k pounds WOWOWOOWOW

[thetone2009]

shame they didn`t have the bravo that i had instead of the 147 bhp mine was the better 155 bhp now i grown up and run about in a quicker alfa ; )

[zemfisos99]

ITALY!

[VDPEFi]

the MkIV Gti is the softest, most understeery 'hot hatch' ever! Im sure with mods they drive well but standard handling from the factory was woeful, I would have bought a BMW 318ti Compact, RWD FTW!

[dragonredx]

it's amazing that you can by a car thats just as fast as these but for about £4000 less. Like the Abath 500 or twingo sport.
