  1. My coworkers laughed when I told them I was going to burn off fat with Atomic Fat Loss, but then they saw the results. Go google Atomic Fat Loss to see their reaction. (It was epic!)

  2. The golf R is an extremely nice car but it is just not that much of a drivers car because the traction control annoys you most of the time, which makes it just boring.

  3. Now this is a proper review although I have to say I would have the VXR as my track car.It has more grip and power which makes it perfect for the track.

  4. I don’t want to sound snotty but the Golf R is AWD, not 4WD. There is a big difference and you’ll get shunned if you call AWD cars 4WD. :)

    In case you’re interested, 4WD is where all four wheels are spinning all of the time.

  5. I am glad he praised the Vauxhall, because they havent made a decent hot hatch since the Astra GSi from the early 90′s. Hopefully they will make a more track based model and it will be an even better car.

  6. Golf R has 4×4 and not fwd like these cars. The golf is just the same as the audi S3.

  7. Hey, where is the new video :) Stop joking Chris, after Top Gear this is my favourite car “show”. I hope you are well, and that you will be making more videos :)

  8. In the UK you can get a used E92 M3 for a lot less than these are as tested. For me, thats a no-brainer. Practical, well packaged FWD performance may have a certain appeal, but if you can afford a £28k, brand new car, then running an E92 M3 shouldn’t be too huge a problem. When pressed, these highly tuned 4 pot motors know how to guzzle fuel, and insurance is certainly not cheap either. Obviously it’s a case of personal taste, but I will always prefer a used rocket to a new shopping trolley.

  9. such a shame that we dont have a REAL TYPE R to compete with the newer gen of HBcks.
    common honda grow a pair and honor your red badge.

  10. But I believe the law definitely applies for new cars, or at least manufacturers wont sell their car in US unless it’s legal in CA.

  11. This is wrong. California has different import laws than the rest of the country. In fact, there’s a loophole here in Florida where you can register a car younger than 21 years under the “Show and Display” law. The car can only be driven 2500 miles a year, but it makes the car totally legal.

  12. cars which are illegal due to CA laws are also illegal to import to the rest of US.

  13. Ford Focus ST with Europe is more beautiful than the U.S.. ST ON THE NUMBER, AND LIGHTS LIGHT AND WHEELS NOT BLING - BLING
    In this video, Blue Focus is quite beautiful.
    START REALLY do not like me, too divine CS but now like it more and it needs to get used to. White, blue and red are quite beautiful. Focus ST OLD WAS BEAUTIFUL ORANGE well. SEATS COULD ALSO BE ST Others like Megan or Focus
    NOT BAD

  14. They are made for that, that is the whole point. Practicality without it they wouldn’t be hot hatches.
    If you want a sport car for that money buy a Lotus, or a mx-5.
