[mazza22]

5's are barely around most of them are a pile of rust

[08holdin]

no its 138bhp and he was trying because i spoke to him afterwards.

[BigSteveT]

Who did you speak to afterwards? Plato?? Were you their during the filming?

[08holdin]

no the person i was racing in the twingo

[BigSteveT]

AAAH!! I see! :-)

[08holdin]

Twingo's arent that fast i killed 1 in my 206 gti

[zmaster2k]

[HENRYHOBBS1]

[TKUIKn1Fz]

[daniely096]

[skaterzing]

5 turbo still kicks ass!! what's the name of the song at 3:00??

[xxbigtim29xx]

ive have a gt5 ive had 3!!! thay maybe 20yrs old but thay still kick ass

[arbeione]

a mate of mine had an unbelievable find the other day. Was looking to find a 5 turbo and ended up getting in contact with this guy who was pretty ancient to be fair. Only to find a 5 turbo with only 20,000 on the clock. The car had hardly been used from new. H e bought it for £1000. i couldnt believe it. i just hope he doesnt smash it up haha

[vivalalvam]

a twingo 133 cup would tank a puma any day

[doesithurt09]

Id Rather have a clio 182. Cheaper than the twingo and faster than Both. Love the Renault 5. Smoked the RS twingo in the birds standard 1.7 125bhp puma the other night. Maybe just the driver.lol

[bapilot747]

I had a 5 Turbo for 5 years.....best fun I ever had with my clothes on. I did manage to slide off the side of bends a couple of times in the wet though. It was tricky to handle when the boost kicked in if you didnt have the wheels straight.

[stansfield83]

the 5 would be quicker hands down in the dry power to weight is more and a set of decent tyres wouldnt go a miss like he said

[bartgtt]

Eggsactly!! Specialy with the original tyres.... Too bad they didn't do this test in the dry! (and how precise is the stopwatch of the driver?? :P )

[supremewhip]

What were the songs in the video?

[mrbusybee2710]

This pisses me of, theone thing a 5 Turbo is known for being bad at, is handling in the wet. If they'd have done that in the dry I assure you it would have been a different result. I've seen it don at croft in the dry and the 5 Turbo was the quicker car!! Very poor effort for a pair of motoring journalists!! they should be sacked!!

[stanczyk11111]

Clarkson says Older cars are faster than nowadays ones..and he is right but not here...

Fifth Gear dont like top gear (6-th) so they make newer car quicker to prove Clarkson is wrong :)

[TrojanWarior87]

There is quite a mistake here see British peoples does not say "DUDE" it is only for AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!

[51StPierre]

Who is this guy? Saying the 5 is twitchy, my mother taught mi to drive in hers, I was 17 and had no trouble correcting a slide, though the brakes were shit in the wet, handled better on MXVs rather than NCTs though.

[TweeksCoffeee]

ermmmm If you were 'sliding' when you were learning to drive, doesnt that mean that the car has to be twitchy to allow you to lose control/drift at learning speeds,,,, pro touring car drivers opinion vs some u tube guy??? hmmm I'll take JP's

[51StPierre]

Had passed my test by the time I was going a bit quicker ;o), not going to say how fast, never said lost control or drifted, just no trouble correcting a slide, the GT t had a unique IRS with a v section beam at the front of the trailing arms, and a transverse torsion rod with an anti-roll bar split in the middle with a floating link lengthways link anchored to the main beam ( was audible when pressing on) all this stuff increased roll stiffness to reduce the chances of lift off oversteer.

[xraycortina]

Hey TweeksCoffeee... you forgot that youtube commenters are a mine of accurate and true information, which is second only to the best source of info... a bloke down the pub.

[spndi]

ahahahahahahahah sorry ......compare the r5gtt blusport with a tecnology little twingo????r5 the best over the top and please a good tyres and hot day for blusport.

[oerw1984]

the standard uniroyls are totally rubbish in the wet my 5 just spins up all over the place

[antimainstream]

Mr Plato is such a wanker haha, and all the Fifth Gear team, but most of all, Tiff Needel. What a big fucking twat. Anyway, shame they didn't put sticky tires on the R5, or something similar to the Twingo then the results would maybe be different.

[cocacolaholic]

wanker or not, he is a racing driver, what are u?

[antimainstream]

Is he really?! Didn't look like he was. Twitchy and nervous, that's what he looked like.

[cocacolaholic]

i think if u tried to drive a r5 on a wet road with skinny 195/55/13 tyres it will be a bit of a handfull

[antimainstream]

That might be the case, but he still is a twat in my opinion.

[bboysilo]

i think on dry the result is totally different....

[euromarble]

congrats steve

[jaffat200]

sorry on the 5 lol

[jaffat200]

well done steve good puts the limelight/interest back on the mighty 4...should do the resale values some good m8 :)

[rehmant]

I always thought the R5 turbo had 160bhp.

[andyfandango]

it does, this is a R5 GT Turbo

[TurboRussell]

excellent driving Mr Plato. I would like to see more of these old v new tests :)

[cocacolaholic]

go 5 go!

[adyfc]

The r5 is probably on uniroyals which are absolute crap.

[BigSteveT]

Yep! Brand new ones right before the shoot though. Shame they're the only ones avaliable in the right size now. :-(

[frediiii]

What about the Dunlop SP2000? I bought my last set about 4 years ago and they are far better than the dunlop.

[BigSteveT]

The Uni-fails were the only ones I could get the week before the shoot & I was told I got one of the last set in the UK then?! :-S

[danielmk1]

5gtt FTW
