Fifth Gear: Mitsubish Evo X vs Ford Focus Rs

[Isaev95]

clowns

Lancer is best!

[bero48]

1:51 the goal is staged 

[raurimckenna]

This test, as with all your other 'tests' didn't prove anything to me or anyone else. Honestly... your show is a joke. Any test should include 1. Five 1/4 mile drags (take the best time) and 2. Five laps around a track (take the best time). SIMPLE

[raurimckenna]

hey tiff ... SHUT UP

[maseratiquattroport]

anything mitsubishi = cheap

[evo11speed]

@maseratiquattroport anything cheap = your mom

[maseratiquattroport]

@evo11speed

including your mom.

[Chrishalliday1984]

Awsome RS! Not fair putting the front wheel drive RS against the 4 Wheel drive lancer should have put it up against the Golf GTI or the scirocco whilpe the floor with those 2 motors!

[basstheman]

Fifth Gear </3, TOP GEAR <3<3

[dirtbikecrasher2]

@basstheman did anyone else notice how that left hander at 430 the left rear tire was completely off of the ground..... nice

[bidzinov]

Soo they use the best of the focus but not the evo? they shoulda used the fq400 or mr at the least

[MDCSYD]

Tiff got so much fucking talent..but I still like Top gear crews ..and I own an RS ...way cooler than Evo in real life..

[69mrbrightside691]

these guys have gd chemistry always fun to see them compete cuz u know they know what there doing

[evaant14]

3:01 LMFAO

[eagerbeaver53]

4:35 back wheel is off the ground

[jacobabl87]

clearly edited out the spin at 2:55

[confyhx]

LANCER 8-)

[RacketOfficial]

what the hell are fifth gear on about saying the focus is a touring car, it was born in rally just like the evo.

[rizegraymon1]

thats not a fq400 ):

[Relyt345]

I dont know why ford put all of that effort into a fwd, that thing would make waaaay more sense as an awd, and i'm surprised that the ford is only a bit lighter, its smaller, a 2 door, and it doesnt have an awd drivetrain. engine is nice though

[tallica1988]

Tiff's a far superior driver to Clarkson...Clarkson doesn't have a fucking clue, but Tiff is an annoying cunt.

[valensi1988]

@tallica1988 I agree, but I see a lot of Top Gear imitation in here...

[RaskVousSalue]

@tallica1988 He isn't FAR superior to Clarkson, anyways the stig is faster than both.

[bmwfan4lyfe]

lol at 4:28 you carn't drift a FWD car tiff you idiot

[skbonesnte]

I think the mitsubishi looks better, it's quicker (according to the video) and it seems better to drive.

[blt198998]

So what if it has a volvo engine seeing as ford owns volvo dumbass

[bociannielot]

@blt198998 ford doesn't have volvo any more :)

[Elmo187]

@blt198998 Ford DOESN'T own Volvo anymore. A Chinese manufacturer known as Geely owns them. Dumbass.

[sher854]

@blt198998 +1 people dont understand people volvo makes the maddest engines.

[MAXHONDAEXTREME]

Focus RS = motor Volvo

[juancarloss2ify]

wo0 evo0 =) 

[versace1708]

love the dogfights!

[TOTTOMUSIC12344]

The Evo is the than the Ford focus rs \m/

[lickmyballs17]

fuck yeah! evo x! :)

[connellssz]

silly!

[185kschott]

pointless test. Why would hitting a ball in a net with a car be relevant. It s obvious the younger guy is a better driver in all their videos. They are comical, but not much of a comparison.

[Mrhugh2011]

fukin shit drivers compared to top gear, its actually stupid how un prepared they are with the stop watch & the gay soccer goal thaats not a fair test at all.

[dthorb]

@Mrhugh2011 Yes mate Plato is a shit driver, must be why he keeps winning the british touring car series!!!!

and a pro racing driver in tiff who is regarded by Clarkson as one of his most respected friends and drivers.

Agree with the tests but these guys would run rings round top gear drivers.

[Mrhugh2011]

@dthorb good call but in that vid it wasn't great

[dthorb]

@Mrhugh2011 Yes mate Plato is a shit driver, must be why he keeps winning the british touring car series!!!!

and a pro racing driver in tiff who is regarded by Clarkson as one of his most respected friends and drivers.

Agree with the tests but these guys would run rings round top gear drivers.

[gejor]

no ma el evo :0 le gana el rs neta reyes !! bye

[MrAdzy81]

What a pair of fags

[GOREALLIGHT]

cross hands driver!!! sick

[Speedmccool385bitch]

Lol focus is front wheel drive...you gotta be kidding me...

[corySTI91]

@41ACE

That's why I bought an 07 STi :p

[corySTI91]

@chrisubass 1000% agree :)

[gaagification]

they are really funny:)

[sxceyes]

why do these idiots always get it sideways wen their trying to go for a fast time?

[sysrq120]

Dont like Tiff's snobby stereotyping.

[SilentTalent]

Some weird old men arguing.

[katanamast279]

I wish they sold that Ford Focus RS here in the USA.

[Nskawtea1]

xD loves the reaction, kicking the stop watch

[BrilliantPSB]

clowns

[songwriter464]

Its amazing how a 2.0 4 cylinder can beat a 2.5 5 cylinder the japs did a great job on that engine...

[JustMyHobbies]

@songwriter464 now even korean using japs technology to make their sportscar.. the Hyundai Genesis.. hahaha.... i my opinion the japs are better in a 4 cylider engine ^^

just my opinion..

[hasone9876]

EVO is always better ,,, people get it no need for testing

[ovariesniper]

evo won and that driver sucked lol

[mozaks80]

@ovariesniper: Jason Plato? He'd wipe the floor with your ass in a race :)

[ovariesniper]

@mozaks80 yea...that doesnt change anything he still sucked lmao!

[stinkbandit]

Ahhh.........English weather. They look just as happy to be out in that weather as a Gay couple does in the unemployment line. Great show lads.

[Vladmir917]

These guys know how to drive because, the old man there is Tiff Neddell. A legendary F1 racer. He also used to work for top gear, but obviously found it is script to biased. So.. Yeah. Tiff's no vulgar, he's honest to his opinions, and I very well respect him for that.

[js872o]

I know how to make a good car show, rip off Top Gear. They even did a lot of the same camera styling

[41ACE]

EVO>RS>STI

[chrisubass]

@41ACE sti is the best



[41ACE]

@chrisubass thats your opinion, your preference, people say otherwise. thats y i bought an evo 9.

[bigbradford69]

Give me an STi Sedan instead

[roywhiteo5]

that focus looks good in white

[Kheops63]

The most powerful is the FQ400, but the best one is the FQ320, nearly the same performance BUT without the fails! such as a huuuuge turbo lag!

[wideopen704]

I'm a bit sick of hearing that old "McDonald's car park" comment. You need a good job to be able to afford cars like these. They're not fair trade Honda Civics...

[DAVID11580]

se me hace una prueba muy estupida los dos son grandes autos y cada uno tiene sus cualidades

[mistreku]

LOL, AWD>FWD. Who would've expected that?

[mrpunisher123451]

put your jap crap against an Oldskool RS and see who wins ;D

[nokturnal2010]

top evo is the fq-400

[naptic]

evo would of been way faster if he didn't do a hand brakey up the last hill too

[ChummyChime]

I like the STI 2011 more than these two.

[naptic]

@ChummyChime someone has to

[SecularTechnology]

That Focus looks beatiful and mean as hell at the same time. Europeans no how to make a car times 1000.

[HonKyTanKMaN]

2:54 he totaly lost control and they made a cut on the montage... Top Gear = would never happen since Clarkson can drive.

[eznoob1v1]

@HonKyTanKMaN yea because you really know what goes on behind the scenes of a show to make it interesting for its viewers. You DO realise theses added "drama" in top gear and this, such as the soccer ball over the line, is a setup right... you know to make it more interesting and provocative?

[HonKyTanKMaN]

@eznoob1v1 to make it quick and simple. I knew it was a montage all the way but it still that Top Gear is the best car show ever. Fifth Gear is real dull and those 2 idiots are... idiots

[scotlander32]

@HonKyTanKMaN not the smartest comment... He is the reigning BTCC champion, Clarkson is no racing driver idiot!

[HonKyTanKMaN]

@scotlander32 who cares about your fucking british car championship shit ? Fifth gear sucks thats fuckin' IT ! Nothing less and nothing more. IT FUCKIN' SUCKS !

[scotlander32]

@HonKyTanKMaN wow.... you really are a real life retard?! You said he was a shit driver... I am asking how a very sucsessfulll racing driver can be " a hit driver" & now you give an unrelated responce... what a cocksucker!

[BETHELRobbie1]

@HonKyTanKMaN Its 4wd, I wouldn't be surprised if it came back.

[HonKyTanKMaN]

@BETHELRobbie1 i understand your point of view dude but look the way he loose the angle, you can clearly see he totaly lost it.

The point isn't about the control of the car itself, its about being always montages after montages... we only see hp and torque and NEVER the sad points of a car like bad handeling etc.

[roe5745]

@HonKyTanKMaN Did you actually thiink before writing that??!!

[staggabob]

@roe5745 LOL, the sad thing is 17 people gave him the thumbs up! Clarkson is a good driver but he's not a winning racing driver like these two.

[rlclaveau]

@HonKyTanKMaN clarkson is not the best driver ... he regularly awknowledges that

[Meatlooaf]

@rlclaveau he's not bad tho, he is quite a good driver

[benbay001]

@HonKyTanKMaN Your an idiot. Jason Plato is the current british touring car champion. He can most certainly drive better than JC!

[HonKyTanKMaN]

@benbay001 First: You're an English moron fuck.

Secondly: Welcome to 6 months ago faggot !

[PsychodelicVIBE]

@HonKyTanKMaN why u on here? they dnt sell these cars in ur foreign origin

[davidit007]

@HonKyTanKMaN the only thing clarkson can drive is his penis as he is a great big wanker

[jrmitchell1983]

@HonKyTanKMaN u gotta be joking right, 2 pro racing drivers beaten by a jouno hack to can crash.... on an airfield!!

[quiom]

@HonKyTanKMaN Clarkson can drive? funny i have never seen him in any entry list of any important race! Plato BTCC, Tiff F1

[HonKyTanKMaN]

The main difference between Fifth Gear and Top Gear is like the name... one step further. Fifth gear sucks. like THAT MUCH !

[toretull]

Top Gear is like American wrestling, its silly more than fun.

Fifth Gear has a bunch of Stigs and I enjoy watching them even when they are silly, because they are mostly just having fun. That said, I do enjoy Top Gear too but Fifth Gear is THE BEST and Tiff is THE Stig.

[mulletcar]

Comparing AWD to FWD is comparing apples to.... well, you know.

[ayet012]

they should have the stig

[dsmdeegen]

Im all for burnouts, and drifting, but i hate how all these shows show power sliding while trying to do time attacks. In the the real world nobody drives like this, which makes these irrelevant to what they really can do. Grip driving is faster around a track than a drifting..... I can only watch these over hyped high dollar shows go on for so long.

[saintkatanalegacy]

@dsmdeegen they're forced to drift to compensate for understeer

[ChaseSpeer]

I want the rs more then the evo and I usually hate fwd. Its just the best looking hatchback car being made now even if its performance isn't worthy of top marks

[LordNeb]

top gear isnt really about cars anymore. its just a scripted disaster, "oh no i set the caravan on fire" whatever....

[dunsyftw]

evo vs rs likes compairing apples to pairs fuckin stupid

[nopoet406]

I love these two presenters, I loved the way Needell booted that stopwatch lol :P

[MrAnory]

there both very nice cars but i will always go to the evo it looks so nice

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

why fifth gear suck?is tiff n viki are from top gear

[brazzr]

speaking of top gear, brand new topgear is on tonight

[itslloyd123]

Tiff knows alot about cars, if you want a programme just about cars. No funny stuff then fifth gear is the one for you.... Jeremy Clarkson just seems to say every car is the best car he's ever driven. He nevers talks about the car enough

[ssr003]

@ 4:34 the ford is on 3 wheels

[venom061986]

btw everyone that stand by evo and says for is a POS how quick does the clutch go out in an evo? also the tremac needs constant service, plus FORD has the top ranks is rally's across the world. Don't get me wrong I love Evo's but the have a lot of downsides, like more maintenance and its pricy maintenance. Just dont talk shit on ford, your best rally drivers in the work drove ford, including Collin McRae and Ken Block. So stfu ford haters, you come into the game with blind prejudice.

[A4101961]

MAGPIES, AFTER HANDLING THESE CARS WENT AWAY TO TAKING BETWEEN YOU, COUPLE OF MALE PROSTITUTES...

[kingice01]

1.50 el viejitoo see emocionaa como niño chiquitoo jajajajjaja

[ClintPJohn]

Dream car!! Haha , I want a fast AWD with a better overall performance to power to usefulness( AWD shifts from any tire spinning to the one in need of grip.) Then it's gotta spool... Have a launch system to eliminate turbo spool... LAG!!ii

Grip grip grip torque torque power gas mileage 2door... Color? Hehe... Suprize ... I want a daily useful driver. Ferrari cough cough porche sniff sniff cry... And more.

[zuluagaco]

THAT OLD MAN DRVES VERY GOOD!

[tastybuilder23]

@zuluagaco that old man is tiff needell a touring car champion he is a savage driver :D

[SangueVerde7]

this test can be useful, but it's ridiculous.

[macca4610]

i would have the focus

[Jordzindaplace]

tiff didn't use the handbrake enough. ford is better

[isometricJ]

copying top gear / vice versa, it looks like

[ScottishScoobs]

Standard Mk2 Focus RS' make no more than 280bhp but are booked at 300 odd. Ive got a Fast Ford mag where one made 274bhp.

The Evo will be slightly over the stated power output as ussual lol.

[yiazmat8923777]

why is it that 5th gear is always compared to top gear? if you're a true car enthusiast you'd appreciate both

[SnowAustralia]

@yiazmat8923777 thats like saying "i love woman so i appreciate a transvestite" they are kinda the same thing but i still wouldnt fuck a transvestite

[stufoo]

@yiazmat8923777 why do people compare anything to anything then? preference. just because i like soccer for example, doesnt mean i like every team in the world

[jake546213]

@yiazmat8923777 your so right whem i want a serious review/ comparison ill watch 5th gear if i want a more humorous take on thing ill watch top gear

[Sin578]

@yiazmat8923777 Because it is called TOP gear not fifth gear...

[9090336]

@yiazmat8923777 you sir hit the nail on the top of the head =D

[livinwithwolves]

@yiazmat8923777 we do appreciate both, but just like cars, we can play favorites...

[jason23189]

@yiazmat8923777

Top Gear is Top Gear and Fifth Gear is also Top Gear.

[rob11s]

How can you compare them you dumb motherf***ers!!!!

[rob11s]

That old guy is probably gay

[forsteaua]

I really don t like japanese cars but the Evo X sucks compared to the Evo IX, at least at looks

[rigolin1771]

Yeah I'm going back to Top Gear. This show fucking blows.

[thespeeddemon333]

theguys from fifth gear are much more serious then those fom top gear

[acuradan623]

top gear is entertaining by 5th gear has better comparisons....top gear keeps switching back and forth with the "flashy" camera angles you never get to see the full car.....you see more clips of clarkson making witty comments than the car itself...5th gear actually shows the entire car race during the test...

[JetpackJamiie]

Comparing Top Gear and Fifth Gear lol... You might say TG is scripted and they sometimes go too far, but they are funny more often than not. FG is boring; yes, there might be more "car" in the show, and more information that is useful to the general population, but is that really what people want to see? Obviously not, as viewing figures suggest. Say what you like about Top Gear, the fact of the matter is that it is easily the most popular motoring show in the world.

[TheAMGLover]

@JetpackJamiie very true and top gear is a great program with some twisted tests etc..people gotta love it for sure!

That said, never forget clarkson and co got drivinglessons from tiff needell in the early stages...they'll probably won't drive that bad , especially looking at some of the drifts they make in some neatly powerfull cars. But they are just not interrested in the real racing-bit of it all , like many people.

So yes , FG is boring, but in my thinking also a good addition to TG .

[TrrOtaku]

5th gear is for people who want to know about the cars and see people who know about cars and driving taking them to the limit. top gear is for people who want to watch 3 twats doing stupid scripted bullshit

[SolidBALLz]

haha a ford focus vs an evo

[asharak84]

Shame they don't say which evo X it is. Hopefully the fq-300 otherwise its a bit of a pointless test.

[wauzik]

@asharak84

@ 5:08 you can see the FQ-300 badge. So yes, it´s not the top end evo.

[coolkavish]

@wauzik yeah, i think the top end is the FQ360, but i think they took the fq300 so that the comparison is not biased

[wauzik]

@coolkavish Top end Evo is actually FQ-400. Built to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Mitsubishi’s entry into the UK market. Only 100 were made.

[coolkavish]

@wauzik Thanks... Well what can I say, lucky 100 people.... ;)

[spxlazy]

@wauzik really i cant c that

[zenzombie72]

@grow2slowly

Fifth gear has better drivers. Top gear has better clowns.

[mrcoder]

ford FWD is poser

mitsu EVO is real deal and wins races all the time in real world

[littlemisskate07]

@mrcoder the focous races in the wrc and does pretty good

[thewindsurfguy]

these guys are chodes, tryin to be top gear

[eikichi00]

*Sigh* Why can't people just appreciate both cars.....

[MrOpoooooooooooooooo]

EVO IS THE BEST 4 DOOR SPORTS CAR EVER MADE

[sazo123]

@MrOpoooooooooooooooo evo its ugly uncomfortable, and it doesnt go...it to go 4 milf when its raining...

M5 is best 4 door sports car

[MrOpoooooooooooooooo]

@sazo123 thats what u think................the evo is not ugly and its fast

[KWASHIC]

Well.... given the times the Focus is amazing. Front wheel drive and still keeping close to the 4WD Evo! Its hot!

[Fragmency]

both of the ball shots didn't even hit the goal

stupid faking...

and wtf is this shit?!

[BossTracKey]

That AWD sure helped that Evolution pull out that victory.

[BossTracKey]

I don't see why people compare Top Gear to Fifth Gear. Everybody says that TG has bullshit challenges, and has influenced FG to be the same, but the fact of the matter is, the challenges all blend tests of agility and speed. They might make immature jokes along the way, but they still push the cars to their limits, and show which is the best in what ways and what needs to be worked on. I wouldn't like it if they weren't the way they were. Then, they'd just be like MotorTrend: factual but boring.

[lukii1993]

EVO IS BEST 4EVER

[Hedonistic100]

look at 4:35 and tell me that the ford rs is good car and i will slap you.

[MrOsmnosmn]

focus pocus :D

[01simmenj]

I love TopGear, and i love Fifth gear. they shouldn't be compared though because they are not the same.

The petrolhead part of me watches fifth gear, the teenager part of me watches TopGear. There is some cross over, but people need to stop comparing like they do.

Harrumph.

[Arai4lpinestars]

@01simmenj agreed, most people watch Top Gear for source of humor. On the other hand, if you want car reviews from racing drivers, Fifth Gear is the way.

[787Bisurdaddy]

The Focus is a cool car... I like it quite a bit. But without AWD, it can't really compete with the Evo.

[energyjms]

jeremy clarkson better retire,he spoil too many car..he is the stupiest person iever seen..haha

[timykaien]

for serious test, 5th gear.

for a funny car program, top gear.

[1993mcT]

@timykaien top gear is for serious and funny. how is sliding into a corner and hitting a ball into a goal serious?

[daniel11ychiva]

fuck this, i prefer top gear

[yuan2211]

found

on

road

dead

[matsui2001]

I am a wee bit disapointed in the Ford Focus RS after watching this...

The Mitsubish Evo is a wolf in sheep's clothing!

[beefcakemonsta]

WORST comparison ever. how can they compare a 305hp FWD car over a 300HP 4WD car???? eventhough the RS has a great suspension system, they shouldnt have compared it to a car that has over 20 years of heritage under its belt. they should have compared it to the Subaru STI like top gear did. this is why i watch topgear more than fifthgear.

[mspyder]

how can any body compare that car to an EVO...

[kgbkungza]

i would take the EVO anyday....

[commandro]

ford focus looks more and more like nissan micra these days

id go for evo
