What's the soundtrack that kicks in around 14:43.  Recognise that from a film.......

Alfa. Beautiful car.

[Smokerspack]

@NewtsTestChannel It's by Brian Eno and it's called An Ending. It's been used in loads of things, including Top Gear and tonnes of TV shows, not sure about the movies though.

[geati6783]

isnt the giulietta called quadrifoglio verde?

[Smokerspack]

@geati6783 In Italian yes, quadrifoglio is Cloverleaf

[drmanos1]

all of them are great,but the best hot hatch is the megane rs trophy

[Smokerspack]

@drmanos1 There's a video we made of the RS Trophy and while I agree with you, the RS Trophy is a race car that's road legal and the SEAT Leon Cupra R is a Road car with 5 doors that you can take on the track!

Alfa romeo the best!

[seonpalu]

ALFA POWER..<3

[geati6783]

@Smokerspack ah thx! but "Quadrifoglio Verde" sounds a lot better than "Cloverleaf" ... :P

[NewtsTestChannel]

@Smokerspack Thanks for that. Loving the reviews. Very entertaining and watchable. Good to see real world reviews of every day cars - keep up the great work.

Looking forward to a hot hatch review later in the year, maybe when the new turbocharged Renault Clio Sport takes on the Ford Fiesta ST? Or maybe the new Focus ST versus new Astra VXR, Golf GTi etc. I'll stay tuned!

I drive Alfa myself, but i'd also taken the EVO. What a car! Crazy.

[Smokerspack]

@cdbimini Fantastic, well done! You can now be a pure petrol head. Best of luck with the new ride and keep it between the ditches.

Send some pics when you stop driving

[cdbimini]

@Smokerspack I took your advice and bought a Cupra R..!

I feel in love with it as soon as I had a test drive of the lower spec FR 2.0.

And i much preferred it to the Golf GTI & R. . They just seem a little too plain and ordinary in terms of styling. And the Golf R is well over £30k! with the same engine as the Cupra R but with 4-wheel drive, which eats into the passenger / boot space just seems far too cramped!

5 doors, leather interior, sat-nav, blue tooth, 19" wheels as standard. I love it!

[fedegrass]

I always take the ALFA ROMEO <3 <3 <3

[madant1977]

I too would take the Leon Cupra, beautiful engineering in a usable car. With mental power and sound ;-)

[JackMehoffPlease]

Shitty interior and build quality, too many rattles, I don't care how quick it is, still a p.o.s., no mitsu for me. Waiting the VW GTI R, (no alfa in Canada yet, so sad)

[Smokerspack]

@RandomGRK reads like a shopping list from dreams. Shame that most of those cars won't be on the roads in Ireland much anymore.

Lining up the three cars in a row took huge planning and no doubt we'll have another triple test in the future.

Cheers for watching

[Smokerspack]

@cdbimini ahh well observed, yes there was different mics used for both cars. The Cloverleaf makes a great sound but the Leon makes the sound of thunder when you press the loud pedal.

But then they are very different cars. Even thinking back on it now, I'd still have the Leon for a daily car.

The Evo is as safely mental as you can get, it just steers around corners that other cars can't possibly match.

Thanks for watching the vid, there's tonnes more to come.

[cdbimini]

Absolutely fantastic video. I really enjoyed watching it!

I was really eager to find out what your thoughts were on the new cloverleaf.

But seeing you open the taps on it has really made me think... Especially when compared to the Cupra R!

It might be a difference in the sound equipment but the engine sounds a little more rev-happy in the Giulietta 1.4 veloce review when you ring the granny out of it?!

Would be interested to know how you think they compare on sound alone..

EVO looks mental!!

[RandomGRK]

Its not exactly a fair match. You cant compare these cars...

The Leon should be compared to the Focus ST R, Astra OPC etc.

The Giulietta against the Audi 2.0T, Golf GTI etc

The Evo against the Scooby WRX STI.

[Smokerspack]

@HybridBoy0 thank you, we hope to make a lot more of them

[HybridBoy0]

Really like your video!!

[lancelogan]

Alfa ftw!
