Back some 20 years ago, hatches had these figures that would be considered puny todays and they felt monumental to me. Hammer down, turbo spools up a few seconds later and the push on the back felt Millenium Falcon quick. Today, i seem unable to have fun in anything under 200 bhp accordingly to the media and fanbase. The BRZ is a 200 hp car, NA, stick manual 6, feather light, 2+2 seater, economical and affordable. It get's mocked by nearly everybody. I came to the conclusion that the vast majority of people don't have pleasure driving "just because car" but humiliating other drivers is the real thing apparently. These times are both fun and sad.

Honda the best
All great cars! Well, certainly the Audi, AMG and Type R! ;) The AMG was my second choice to buy, incidentally. If I wanted a drag car I, of course, wouldn't have bought the Type R but I wanted a drivers car; an all-rounder. An engineering masterpiece by Honda. I'm not interested in having a car that's fastest in a straight line! When would i ever drive like that? I don't. I like a car that handles well and is great around the bends and twisty roads; comfort and practicality. I wanted a car that doesn't look the same as everything else or 'just another hatch/hot-hatch. So happy with my choice and i get so many people commenting, positively, on how it looks. Not bad considering it's looks are so 'divisive'. I wouldn't have received so many comments if i had chosen any of the others. Not that it's about that, of course! :)

J27 I know...that's why I bought an RS. Drivers cars need manual gearboxes. I had a Golf GTi DSG. It was really good but you can't beat the feeling of banging through the gears with a manual gearbox. I couldn't go back to a DSG now.

They need to do a drag race with the readily available tunes from companies of these cars. It’s amazing what a $500 tune can do to a stock car.

Honda Type R is FWD, with manual gearbox, and quite significantly less powerful engine than the RS3 and the Benz, but still kept up pretty well. It beats the Focus RS in rolling race? Wow.
RS3 is from another level
In all fairness. The RS3 is in a different class than the rest. They should of used the S3.

The Focus RS and Type R don't have an auto box as an option. But I agree the R should have been the DSG one. Any drag race with lots of cars is usually a race between the manuals, and a separate race between the autos.

the 2.5 Audi engine is amazing. Once ive finshed my Project car on my channel. I think im gonna get a TTRS or RS3.
I can bet $10 if that Golf R had DSG auto the results would have been different.
The rs3 was from another league
I think the Civic did especially well for having fwd and a 2 litre engine. It did manage to beat the rs in a rolling race. I still think the Audi is a whole different class
The things I would do to get an RS3 in Canada are too unholy to be spoken of😩
I’m a fan of ford focus RS all day everyday..😎
Well the rs3 does have a 2.5L vs 2.0L in the others, so that is a rather large advantage in this competitive playing field

I have recently bought a an Audi RS3 with miltech exhausts, I previously had a Focus RS I love both of them but the Audi delivers the power so much more smoothly.
why is the focus rs sooo underrated, it did so well we must admit.
Audi RS3 - Power to Weight Ratio: 189.1 (W/kg) Mercedes A45 AMG - Power to Weight Ratio: 186.7 (W/kg) Honda Civic Type R - Power to Weight Ratio: 167.0 (W/kg) Ford Focus RS - Power to Weight Ratio: 166.6 (W/kg) Golf R - Power to Weight Ratio: 146.9 (W/kg) The results were as expected, with the exception of the Ford vs Honda (rolling start), that should have been much closer.
