  • Minis are uncool fashion accessories, getting uglier by the day. Look at the Clubmunter, sorry, Clubman and the CoUNTryman - hideous, just like cars designed by their BMW owners. Mini is a womans handbag with a chihuahua sticking out of the sunroof.Alfa, Lancia, Fiat, BMW - all boringly ugly cars - faces only their makers could love, thats why they only ever show the arsends in commercials!

  • Whats the matter with you man - are you for real? Take your hate campaign and stick it in your rusty alfa's boot. OOps, sorry, big hole there too, like the one between your ears.If anything is 20 years out of date, its your attitude. Alfa GTV haha, Getting Towed Vehicle. Alfa GTA - Getting Towed Again! Wise up, and troll off. Skodas are for people with knowledge, people who want reliability and quality, not rust and engine woes like Alfas and Fiats and Lancias.

  • @Pinin500

    I have better things to do with my time than waste it replying to your total nonsense. i am suspecting you are just a schoolkid judging by your behaviour and obvious lack of knowledge of cars.I will leave you to your little world of loneliness and yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn, ooops, your comments almost sent me to sleep there.

  • does anyone know what season and episode this is?

  • @MrDionisis7 Sounds like Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Santa Esmeralda

  • Name of the song.PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!

  • This pinin500 idiot has some serious mental health issues - he actually thinks Skoda jokes are funny. He also trolls you around youtube.He has been reported and will be getting a nasty shock soon.I think its a 12 year old with learning disabilities by the sounds of him, poor boy.

  • @Pinin500 Errrrrrrrrrrrrr, Noooooo. Wrong on both counts mr alfail twat. No problems with my skodas at all. More reliable than any of the italian shitboxes i owned in the past. I have NEVER owned a reliant, but it would be a hundred steps up from a new alfa . now fuck off, youre getting so many thumbs down and making such a tit of yourself - even more than when u r in your alfa. Love to meet u and seee if you say this shit to my face. Doubt it pussyboy!

  • @Pinin500 no you didnt mr alfail. fuck off and go to your alfa and weep, it'll help it rust more. cant you see just how much of a tit you look on here? Noone has negative ideas about skoda anymore , jesus man, you are an obsessive compulsive just like Monk! Take a couple of diazepam before you have a panic attack you freak.

  • @Pinin500 lol bet you cant even drive! and i think your CAPS LOCK IS ON!

  • Mini = 10/10 pure icon and very stylish, wins the beauty contest hands down

    Skoda= 0/10 its still embarassing even after the old jokes faded from the 80's.

  • @Pinin500

    wot have alfas, fiats, lancias and alka seltzer got in common????

    they both disolve in water.......

  • @Pinin500 Ha, thats why you must spend so much time at the dealers getting it repaired then. Italian cars suck monkey balls, the Mito and Giulietta are UGGGLLLYYYY. Even more ugly than a Mini Clubmunter and thats saying something.Where the hell do Italians get their deign for grilles and front ends from - their mothers moustaches??? :P

  • what song is playing in the background?

  • @georgeminns "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" -Santa Esmeralda... from the Kill Bill Vol. 1 soundtrack I believe.

  • Diesels do give more torque but not more bhp. If they were superior in performance why are they not used in formula 1.

  • u ppl beleve me or not but an GOOD Technological DIESEL engine is REALLY too much better then Petrol.. it give more Power(ALLOT more then Petrol) and More Torque..

  • i drove a scoda fabia vrs a few months ago.. and OH MY GOD. the mid-range pull is insane.. it pulls way better than a fiesta st, ibiza cupra, civic type r ect... its nowehere near as fast a a type r but the mid range its a huge kick.. with a remap these vrs fabia's would be mental.. wouldi buy one? no. the handling i found to be poor, and the interior was horrible. all i liked was the engine and gearbox. too ugly and drealy.. fast car though.

  • 5 people drive a fiat

  • YES!!! From the minute the Fabia took the lead in the start, I was rooting for it, although the Mini was starting to give me cause to bite my tongue in half at some points in time.

    Now I know what to do when my dad wants to trade in his Fabia Sedan... show this to him, and tell him to let me have it. A car this good is a keeper. I love Skoda Auto.

  • my car 

  • that bad clutch/gas control in 2nd gear at the beginning, made the whole car vibrate terrible!!!!! ouch

  • Keep pressing 7.

  • Wish Skoda's were available in Canada. I'd swap my Jeep Liberty for a Yeti in a heartbeat

  • it wasnt a mini cooper s though if it was the s would win. 

  • @TMVowns

    Yeah, and why not immediately put a V12 quad turbo Lambo engine in the Mini because then it would also win against a normal Skoda Fabia...

    You get my point big boi?

  • @TMVowns they'd doing a price comparison.

  • RIP TDI-PD! I'm glad I managed to buy a 1.9 (new Fabia - 77kW, not this RS) before it was killed by Euro5. It's such a great engine. If you want to overtake you press the accelator, wait something about half an hour and then off you go like a rocket:-P

  • i love mini <3

  • try with the mini cooper s

  • skoda is more better then a mini, cause british tv represented race. so they have given mini a little bit of space to gain lead, but SKODA WINS. I LOVE SKODA FABIA

  • skoda is vw

  • mini (l)

  • It never ceases to amaze me how 20 years after VW bought Skoda, a small minority of 'pub chat car experts' still think Skodas make cheap, slow cars etc. Skoda have been voted manufacturer of the year by 3 different sources this year, Skoda produce a car capable of 155mph limited with 100kmh in 6.6 secs, Skoda are the 2010 IRC champions, Skoda Fabia was Car of the year in many magazines when launched 10 years ago, Skoda Superb has won 20 awards this year alone! Skoda these days = quality.SNM

  • @skorob2010 ....It never ceases to amaze me how many boring anorak retards keep bleating on about Skodas!! The Skoda is well ma zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zz

  • @coltsuperocean10

    Maybe it's because we actually KNOW about cars.......I'm amazed that there's a small minority of divs out there that don't realise Skoda are the world's 3rd oldest car manufacturer and still associate them with the 1970's/80's rear engined models which are now rightly regarded as classics. Anyway, answering to retards sends me to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • Hammond is doing a very bad work on that steering wheel...

  • anyone know the BGM on this vid that Top Gear used? and i like to add, the Skoda Fabia on this clip might not be attractive to most people (styling, diesel powered, ect) but you can't deny, they made good work with that diesel engine. that is a suprisingly unexpected Hot Hatch

  • you all think that if it has diesel engine it must be worse? :D:D sorry but diesel have better traction cause it has higher torque power. OK? and skoda's cars are one of the best in quality and design is very good too....BIG UP SKODA!!

  • while ago I've had Passat with that engine. 130HP/310Nm. Awesome engine.

    Loud (TDI-PD) but I don't care, I like diesel sound ;)

  • the thing is that the skoda looks very very very very boring with a lot less marks on the build quality scale

  • Skoda is one of best cars for me... I mean not best sport cars but best "public" cars

  • @Dunil009 yeah after like 2006 the cars are ok, since volkswagen took over and pretty much made it a VW car. before that skoda was a disaster carif u ask me

  • @WeAllGonnaDieAlive

    2006 ? Lol 

  • @WeAllGonnaDieAlive LMAO, VW bought Skoda 20 years ago........do you know ANYTHING about cars! If Skodas were disater cars before 2006, how come in 1994 they were WRC F2 world champions, in 2000 the Fabia was car of the year in many countries including the UK, and the rear engined models built betweeen 1964 and 1990 sold over 3 million???? Skodas are not a VW car, Skodas are designed, built and made in their own factories! They are better than VW's, VW admitted that!

  • @Dunil009 it's very underrated,why?!?!?

  • This is stupid, diesel has not caught up with petrol.

  • HAHAHAHHA Škoda!!!

  • Some of you stil thinks Skoda is bad... Skouda is Skouda at the aut side in the in side is VW

  • IF , if , if , if .... i can add one more if then !!!! IF he had brake the Fabia better in the first corner and not like my gf takes the corner with he C3 1,4 then the distance could be way bigger !!! and the IF game goes on !! Cheers

  • The Skoda has a lot more of hp ... There is no point to compare it against the "normal" Mini Cooper. They should take the Cooper S ... But then, bye, bye Skoda!

  • @RedMR2W3 than you should take skoda fabia rs too

  • @RedMR2W3 And how about the new skoda fabia VRs? 180 bHP... Bye bye cooper s

  • @Ssy0u

    If they would take the "new cooper S" against it, why not?

    But this will be a differerent story ... Hope they will bring it up on U-tube. ^^

    :-)

  • @RedMR2W3 I'm maybe a little biased, i work for skoda as a mechanic xD The new VRS is awesome though, you could hit 250-300 BHP if you spent even £1000 tuning it.

  • @Ssy0u But new skoda Fabia is just 1.4TSi, and the engine have good power in higher rpms...... That Fabia 1 Tdi 130Hp is better i think (not just better looking)

  • @7urb0m4n Not really, the 1.4 TSI is turbo charged and super charged, the 1.9 TDI has major flat spots in third gear and the turbo is low pressure. Sure the diesal can pull better off the line but it'll only hold the lead for about a second or two.

  • @Ssy0u But, when someone ask me what RS Fabia I want I´ll say "JUST FABIA RS Mk.1 !!!" the fabia RS Mk.2 is too difficult (lots of electronic for the bi-turbo system and DSG transmission) there is no way to have manual transmission because this Fabia is built on old platform, you can´t gat there 4x4 for better traction....... For me it´s too difficult car and not that good looking like Fabia 1

  • @7urb0m4n biturbo?no compresor and turbo

  • @crossak55 yes its mechanic compressor and turbo and its expectly called biturbo

  • @7urb0m4n : U are wrong , Škoda has TFSI engine not bi turbo.(compressor and turbo isnt really bi-turbo ;).I had Škoda Octavia 1.8 turbo 4x4 - 200 hp chiped.Very good car and cheap.And i m from czech republic (where Škoda living) and i know a lot of this cars.

  • @H2Oangelstears Tak to můžeme normálně mluvit česky :D Jo Oktávka v 1.8 20V turbo je moc dobrá ještě s Haldex 4x4 jsem z toho auta měl v základu taky hodně dobrý pocit. Opravdu je motor ve fábii s mechanickým kompresorem a turbokompresorme nazýván biturbo, stačí se třeba podívat do nějákého časopisu (Svět Motorů, Autohit, atd.....) kde je o něm recenze nebo konkrétně o Fabii RS II a uvidíte že v tabulce o motoru je opravdu napsán motor R4 Biturbo. Je to celkem jedno hlavně že víme o co jde :))

  • @7urb0m4n : Motor : Zážehový přeplňovaný 4.válec, ačkoliv jsem studoval tento motor v různých časopisech nikde není psané že se jedná o bi-turbo.Ono to je logické protože kompresor není turbo v tom je hodně velký rozdíl.Jinak biturbo z dílny koncernu wv je 2.7 L V6 , 4,2 L V8 a 5.0 L V10.

  • diesel diesel diesel diesel

  • speed-skoda

    style-mini

  • The Mini portrayed here is the BASE model. Not the turbocharged S. base for base though the Skoda wins. But quality ? Welllll........

  • @diamondmotor969 well we cant say that the mini is car for everyone anymore, can we? But Skoda is cheaper... and so the quality is...

  • mini 1.6 turbo?

    Skoda vrs 1.9 turbo?

  • The song's Esmeralda Suite by Santa Esmeralda

  • Yay, Czechoslovakia/Czech republic has finally managed to make a car for driving on Brno!!! Yay!!!!

  • what is the song??? it is in kill bill too i think

  • JE VIDĚT ŽE ČEŠI UMÍ DĚLAT AUTA !!!

  • Škoda Fabia, i like it

  • i think that the mini actually could've won that. hammond didn't cut the 2nd to last corner like he should've. that would've put right next to the skoda and then he carried too much speed into the last corner and understeered wide. had he slowed down more and cut the 2nd to last corner he wouldve been inside the skoda for the last turn and taken it.

  • @Edrox5000 Life is full of if only's..... This result is only a surprise to prejudiced motoring hacks like Clarkson & May. NO surprise whatsoever to anyone who has ever owned a turbo diesel.

    'The Mini could've won that'. Yes, it could have. Or the Fabia could have won by a much bigger margin if Clarkson hadn't swung out so wide deliberately to give the petrol car a chance. If my auntie had testicles she could've been my uncle! lol

  • Anyone know the name of the song in the background?

  • @thyre

    Don't let me be misunderstood

  • lol, funny race...

  • @legendemittelerde I like Top Gear !

  • Did you notice how relaxed Jeremy is when he's driving? He has an elbow on the window sill!!

  • @alaj222 Well cars are not that hard to handle unless you don't a power steering system. Everything is in how well you determine de line of the car...your entrance point to the corner and how you attack the apex. So if you do it right in the first place...you shouldn't be fighting with your car.

  • @thehornypuppy yes, but still. don't you think he'd be slightly more into the race, or is he confident with the knowledge that he's won??

  • @alaj222 - Yeh =/ its almost like he wanted it to lose :(

  • and when cooperS comes everything change

  • @vboiz7 and when you chip the 130 hp RS you would get 160 hp and beat the Mini Cooper S

  • Someone drove that Skoda through the fugly forest and hit all the trees.

  • I hate TopGear...!

  • skoda is fast! but i love mini coz it has many styles and its hot for small cars!

  • I wish that they made a deisel version of the cooper

    for any cooper

  • @parkourer100 erm there is, it's called the cooper D it's a 1.6 with around 110 bhp.

  • Mini Cooper is my favourite car!!!!

    My dream is to drive him!

  • watching hammond in that mini it seems that it's spacious

  • Wow. A Skoda that is actually Fast, and its a diesel none the less. It must be the end of the world.

  • Comment removed

  • @dualaction0 - keby si vedel aspon trochu po anglicky tak si to povedal presne na picu. Mini drzi lepsie v zakrutach a ma lepsie brzdy a Skoda je rychlejsia na rovnych usekoch. ale nevadi..

  • @dualaction0 Děláš si srandu? Fabia si čapla na přední kolo a sunula se ven, Mini v každé utažené zatáčce dotáhlo ztrátu z rovinky. Brzdy byly taky někde jinde. Zcela opomíjím fakt, že Křeček jel na hraně a auto bylo pořád téměř neutrální a dokázalo vykouzlit i přetáčivost. Říkají to i oba na videu;-)

    Sportovní řízení je o zábavě, přesnosti a zpětné vazbě, ne o rozjezdu na rovince s přemotorovaným autem pro důchodce a sociální rodiny. Až budu měnit MX-5, bude to možná právě Cooper.

  • both of these cars are really good. I guess the point of this test isn't prove what car is better, but show to world that czech republic can produce nice car too. And I honestly have to say that I was "surprised" (bad meaning) when skoda made DIESEL sport car and I'm Czech! Skoda can produce much better sport car then this Fabia is!! Maybe the diesel sport car was the reason to do this test!

    I recommend to do test with another Czech cars - TATRA (really good off-road trucks)

  • bought damn time skoda made somthing good

  • Bought a Fabia vRS off a family member. They got themselves a Mini Cooper S. Perfectly happy with it, had it two years now, and it's an absolute train by comparison to pretty much anything you can throw at it.

    So what, two years on? I'm getting an average of 46mpg, and have never had a mechanical problem with it. My mate with the Mini Cooper S is now selling his for another diesel car because it costs so much to run and averages 20 mpg.

    Superb little car, and so fast.

  • skoda(Y)

  • Anyone who would rather drive that monstrosity than a mini is nuts.

  • TT brake upgrade and a 180bhp remap on the fabia and the cooper s would be in trouble, let alone a fucking cooper... lol.

  • @tn21beer put a better supercharger on the cooper s and the skodas in trouble again tho lol

  • @robmaki1988

    But an fmic, hybrid turbo, uprated clutch on the fabia and we got a race on our hands... rofl.

  • @tn21beer haha then you've spent too much money ona skoda

  • @robmaki1988

    Or you should have just bought the Ibiza cupra tdi in the first place.. 200bhp 300 ib/ft with just a remap, 312mm ap racing brakes. They outrun cooper s jcw, you can trust me on that ;)

  • @tn21beer yes but how bout the jcw gp? put some of the stuf i have into that and oh boy not much better than that if u want quickness and handling

  • @2gwks

    But the VRS will still get 55mpg, low tax.. luls.

  • @tn21beer where i come from we don't have tax on gas and 35mpg aint to shabby.. luls? are you three?

  • @2gwks

    35 mpg from a mini cooper jcw... dont be silly.

  • @tn21beer its not silly its true but belive what u want.. and btw come to wear i live ur skoda wont be able to beat my mini due to the fact u wont have time to acclerate between corners or at least not much where i race at

  • @2gwks Cupra TDI, unless your mini is running 250+bhp you would get destroyed.

  • @tn21beer got me there but trust me where i live u better be good at drifting and pinpoint turns

  • @2gwks Whats driftin gta do with Front wheel drive cars

  • @tn21beer Yeah but neither the skoda or ibiza can handle comapred to a mini

  • @robmaki1988

    But the cupra tdi has 312 mm ap racing brakes, so you will kill a mini under braking, and the torque coming out of the corner can make up for that, trust me ;)

  • @tn21beer Hmm fair point, but the mini does have a much better chassis set up than an ibiza so could probably still out handle it, never seen them racing each other on a track tho so wouldnt liek ot make any bets

  • @robmaki1988

    Beeza has better brakes and more effective traction control system, if both cars have 200bhp, the diesel wins ;)

  • @robmaki1988

    that was a base mini with 120 hp. the S model would absolutely annihilate that.

  • @whygodrums10 Yeah but a cooper S isnt in the same group of cars as a fabia vrs, the whole point of the race is to put 2 cars with around the same spec against each other.

  • The Skoda has 13% more power and 3% more power/weight. That's why it's a bit faster on the straights.

    But Diesel is horrible in a Hot Hatch. If you want fun, buy a MINI !

  • Mini prohrála XD A to jsem si myslel že naše Škodovka prohraje :D

  • Hammond looks like driving WRC, Jeremy is enjoying casual relaxing driving :D

  • the thing is that the fabia looks like shit...and the mini doesnt...

  • @luuko656

    And the Mini goes like shit, and the Skoda doesn't... :D

  • @rock3tcat so, why would you drive a car that looks like shit while most countries dont even allow you to driver over 120? i mean, what is the use of the extra speed when you hardly ever use it?

  • @luuko656 extra speed= extra power . so the extra speed is maybe to get up to the max alowed speed faster .... i think

  • @MrPulamea i guess, but than again, the looks of the car are also importand, and the cooper just looks better than the skoda..
