Mk7 GTI vs A45 AMG vs M135i Review

[Sunglasses Ron]

Bit of a mismatch and not too sure why they didn't pitch the new S3 in there instead?!?!  Worth a watch though and a surprise result..

Cheers for posting that, the new golf seems to be getting god reviews.

Surprised the BMW didn't perform up to expectations. Didn't really like the look of the Merc for some reason. Golf was lovely but that front bumper sticks out far too much IMO.

Total mismatch but the Merc does look tasty

Where's the RS3?

Viva la haldex!

Would love to see a45 amg vs rs3/TTRS now!

For me it would be A45 > MK7 GTi > M135i

Although the M135i has been getting rave reviews and is obviously a much quicker car than the golf, i find newish BMW cars so boring! There drap and ugly and do absolutely nothing for me at all. At least the golf looks good and when you would have to live with the car for a while i find thats quite important rather than how well it goes in a straight line. The Golf also seems much more fun to drive.

I really like what Merc have done with the new A Class and think its a brilliant car, something they should of done with the A Class from the start. Bringing out an AMG version is just the icing on the cake and even better that its an AMG car that handles its power extremely well

Am i the only one thinking what is autocar doing racing cars on country roads with other road users?

I Imagined they would close the road or not at least show them racing past other cars.

moving on

That merc looks very nice!

I had the same thought when he was in the MK7 GTi and the cyclist came past the other way!

All of the mags do it suppose some
Just choose quieter roads.

[Deako]

All of that said, £ for £, id still choose the M135i over the Golf GTI. Maybe my decision will be different when the Edition 40 and Golf R are out, but both are going to be approaching the price of the A45 once options are ticked anyway.

No mate you're not. I was thinking the exact same tbh and although most journos seem to more than exceed the speed limit when you listen to what gear/revs they get to in certain cars (Top Gear / Chris Harris), I have not seen actual racing on an open highway before (at the top end of 4th gear), especially with other cars and even sheep about!!!  

Fail to see how this differs from what I did to a certain extent. Except that there was no corners or other road users in my case.. I'm not bitter though..

Maybe it was shot on the Isle of Man so no speed limit

Maybe   Wouldn't take much working out though if they needed too.

Is it legal to race each other in the Isle of Man?
