Audi R8 V10 v Honda Civic Type R Mugen - autocar.co.uk 

even better with boost :-P

Jm Bh 100,000 old mercedes is same shit as audi , hm maybe better but i can clearly see you are mercedes fan .

COSECCO Hi, hope you are well. I was not a Mercedes man. From age 21 till age 50, I always believed in Alfa Romeo. My first car an Alfasud 1.5ti with autodelta race kit (webbers and cam) which I raced. But at age 50 I needed a diesel car to do loads of miles overland and I was told to buy a second hand 190 Diesel which I did. This car proved to be dam reliable, extremely confortable and absorbs the bumps incredibly well and the road holding since I do not drive slow is not just excellent but extremely predictable and incredibly good. After 5 years we all could see that all our new cars which we garage every night too, had problems and had to be taken in from time t time. The Mercedes was always left outside, it started every day with out fail and never needed anything nothwitstanding the miles which I used to do. The C class which I bought after this was bullet proof too but the steering box was gone and rack and pinion took over instead which I changed after 122,000 on the C Class. The 190 still goes with all original parts and it has 189,000 miles now,

oh okay . i did not asked you for this but thank you for describing me the old Mercedes C class . I belive it extremly reilable car . i remember i saw a post where they were showing the top 10 cars with over 100 000 km and few mercedeses were on the top but few audis aswell . maybe it just counts for the 2005-2010 audis

Jm Bh ,i won't buy another Audi for the rest of my life . i had all kind of problems with my Audi SUV. Thanks, to the maker of Vtec ,i have an MDX for almost 3 years ,no brakes, steering ,powertrain and sensors problems.I just change motor oil every time my oil life shows 10%.German vehicles are extremely unreliable

lloyd Y Benwa I agree 100%. If you want reliability there is no doubt in my mind that Japanese are the most reliable. We bought Toyota Yaris as company cars. They are dam reliable and they have all the conveniences, you name it, they have it. Honda & Toyota are exceptionally reliable.

Honda are one of the most reliable car manufacture in the world...

Oh sorry I thought you said Honda can't haha

Well, that comment is nonsense.

At the end of the day, you want the R8.

What is it about Honda's that make you guys so emotional...

Alright, but its still way overpriced imho. Whats a base si cost? 24k or somewhere around there? Asain manufactuers are just flipped haha, like the lfa, 450k?! I mean really???

People still buy them. Like Cadillac...They actually suck as a sports car. Like not a opinion they just really do. But people still think their great and buy them. Nismo 400R only 44 made go for over 100k a car.

ross burton They are limited edition collectibles. The prices on them will not drop only get higher. And Toyota actually loses money each time an LFA was built.

Marcello Wheeler Yes the LFA looses money every time its sold, this is due to toyota completely scrapping a fully designed car, they were not satisfied, twice! the LFA entered the market having to cover the production costs of three separate and unique supercars attached to it. no car could be profitable in this scenario, in conclusion, a lot of respect to Toyota for building the car they wanted rather than a car that would make them money.

ross burton Toyota as a company simply do not run on the basis of the production of IFA's. It is a simple advertisement for their engineering standard.

Wow I'm shocked. I didn't think I'd find someone who's smart and not a jerkoff in these comments. At least you get it .

Ufc _ RU-vid comments are a disease

No one decides what is fun for someone else you shitarded clown.

yeah right bitch if you had the choice to choose now inreal life r8 or honda you would kick the honda in the ocean

No bitch... if someone would give me the chance to choose, I would take the R8 sell it and buy that Civic, or probably some older car, like a Toyota AE86 I really love those cars!

***** hmm just dont say you would buy the s2000 cause i hate that car :p

Actually the S2000 isn't bad, but what I like the most in it is the engine.

***** yeah engine is great but i hate the looks of the s2000 its to cute in my eyes for such a good car.

@Daniel wut?

lol

brilliant

Pretty sure you can't eat an Xbox Controller.

made my day fucking laugh me to death XDDD

+John Mead R's other six cylinders didn't kick in-wait

Big brain time.

Hey message me

Yeah, but C7 can't turn and hasn't got VTEC :D

You think that's insane? In Denmark a secondhand Toyota GT86 costs about the equivalent of $66,000. IIRC that's about the price of a C6 Z06.

NucLe4rCZ You mean variable valve timing guy? hahaha

ross burton no, i mean VTEC, best valve timing and most exciting thing in the world ;)

NucLe4rCZ SO exciting, better than skydiving hands down...

Eric Yang honda Is faster at the corners... In a downhill race 280hp should be enough to beat the r8...

MrFujiwara AE86 Of course Honda's are always going to be fast at corners. Always will. But in a straight, nah man, the r8 got it. So why test it downhill? It's going to be the same results. Sure it's lighter, but the r8 will catch up easily.

MrFujiwara AE86 Track: Type R Drag: Always will be the r8

Have you Heard about The downhill touge...? Where Keiichi Tsuchiya beats a 280ps R34 Gtr with a 170ps Ae86.. Is not about power dude, but obviously if you compare them uphill Is gonna win The One with more hp... Eric Yang

MrFujiwara AE86 hey the man is a hero...but at the end of the day its the skill of the driver and not that many people have that ability and not a lot of you people can't handle going down a mountain road at excess of 80 to 100mph oh and to say that's slow shows you haven't done that amount downhill (oh but everyone is a racer on the youtube comments) No I live in a mountain area and since I was a kid been going up and down the roads... With or without abs/tcs/stability control jajajaj and the r34 was completely bone stock as for the 86 has everything except electronics to help it

And then compare a Veryon W16 Grand Sport and a Vauhall Corsa, that will make fun of the car.

+Phoenix agree with you

Did you not see how close he got to that R8 around every turn? If he didn't go wide sometimes he'd probably hit. He wasn't trying to pass the R8 but stay behind it.

And the r8 was not going full ballers either. Far faster and awd grip. But on some hairpin turns like that any small agile car can stay with a supercar.

+James Lovett I'm not disputing what is faster or better. I'm just stating that he probably went wide so he didn't end up in the R8s rear during those turns.

Exactly. You can hear the Honda screaming and nothing from the V10. Look at the lateral forces the R8 can produce and it would be long gone if the driver put any effort into it.

John Jerrehian Nonsense. On those corners the Civic has the advantage. On the exits and straights the R8 opens up and leaves it sitting. If you listen to what he is saying it can keep close to the R8 sometimes but not always. But to say that the R8 is cruising is just not true.

bighands69 The only advantage the Civic has is the entrance speed and that is questionable. The R8 with it's low center of gravity, mid engine, Quattro and wide tires has an abundance of ability that is not being used to the extent of this video. Yes, he says they are on public roads and even around 2:30 seconds questions if the Audi is being driven hard. Have you ever been in an R8 V-10? When they are on at the top of their RPM range they scream and you can hear that howl a long way off. Not in this video. Friend of mine is a manager of an Audi dealership in FL and you would be very impressed of what the R8 can do if you were in one. Put on a track when the two were pushed and the Honda would be gone, even in the turns.

R8 is not a usual Audi, it's better in corners then straight line, most Audis are opposite.

John Jerrehian look at the brakes... every corner the civic has to brake because the civic can come in faster, but exit speed is faster. even with all those facts your missing the point of the type R. its pretty much a race car with aircon.

MKSpots maybe the driver in civic was "old timer" guy...lol😂

No bullshit

Shut up the civic is better and the r8 is driving hard too

+Chog Ountonight really I thought that was the r8 that was red lining the whole time. I need need to get my ears checked.

MAD DOG turbo fn2 would smash that Audi up 😂😂😂

A point seemingly lost on almost everyone 😆

In england they drive on the left

dibi203  No shit Sherlock, i am from Australia we drive on the left too. But at 2:37 he is driving on the wrong side He knows he cant overtake so he is then driving like a moron. I am sure they closed off the road for the filming but you cant go saying we are going to drive sensibly then go driving in the middle of the road.

People like you are the issue with the car world. I've had two Volkswagen's one was a 1.8T Passat with 350hp that lasted for 250k miles and am currently on a Jetta that is at 75k miles both I have had almost no issues with. The issue is how you take care of it. It's simple if you take care of the car it will work for a long time plain and simple, I also know many people with high horsepower volkswagens and audis doing 100k miles.

Nope, the issue with the car world are companies that set marketing before quality. I know a lot of dissatisfied Volkswagen and Audi drivers, who got nothing but problems with their cars. Do a search for DSG or 1.2l / 1.4l TSI issues, you'll find plenty. If you're searching for German quality, Mercedes Benz is your friend. www.maxrev.de/files/2013/02/thumbs/t_2013_02_03_12_38_21_honda_and_toyota_top_the_engine_reliability_ratings__motoring_news__honest_joh.png

Before you become a grammar Nazi, it might help you to research on how reliable these companies are. Greetings from Germany.

its preference....

www.reliabilityindex.com/top-100 just under half of the top 100 are Japanese and a handful are German. Speaks for itself really.

Random Spot They ARE idiots, or at least acting like idiots. And that's why we love them.

Audi R8 lawan AYLA aja deh :v ngePOOR 3 kilo hahaha

enjoy fwd noob

William Gunn u dumb fuck get off my comment

The only thing a Hon-duh shits on is it's owners ego.

Hey buddy! :)

Carlyle's Picks Oh hi!! Could never expect you to comment my comment. haha! made my day!!

Carlyle's Picks

the ep3 si might be similar chassis but it IS NOT the closest Honda in the US, the ep3 si does not even have actual performance oriented vtec. the closest US car to this would be something with a real k20 or maybe even an older dohc vtec type r

The point is that the civic can stay with the Audi not that it is better or that it is a direct competitor. Yes it can pull away but the audi can at least stay in the game with it. In most police chase they only need to stay in line of sight of the car and not beat it until support arrives.

bighands69 Sure, absolutely, but it's also punishing the driver, and likely at 9-10/10ths pace doing so and not the most enjoyable way to go fast on that kind of road. I think the Civic would be really fun to drive in the right setting and would likely have been even faster and less of a handful on a track -vs- a public road with all the frost heaves and what not. I always love seeing "US unobtanium" cars like the Si, but I would have been more interested to see a more comparable "Hot Hatch" (Like a VW or Audi) that would have been a bit more intriguing in terms of how it stacked up as a road car in addition to its outright speed. You can also take nearly any car out there and turn it into a Touring Car replica and it'll haul ass...But the question is do you want to keep driving it after 5 miles on public roads??? I've done the whole "race car on the road" thing and frankly I just can;t see doing that when you can make a Like I say though I'd LOVE to have a crack at that Si on a track, that's where it'd really shine (like all Hondas with their F1 inspired red-lines). And as I keep saying: Honda has the parts bin, the know how and the quality products/engineering to make some MONSTER cars but they've been holding back as of late with the current gen Civic having the absolute worst interior I've ever seen in a car and a completely mediocre engine in terms of performance in it's class. It's still a wonderfully built and engineered engine, smooth and sweet, but it just doesn't make any low end power and it's 201hp is just kinda mid-pack so it struggles as a road car as do all hopped up tuner versions unless they're turbo'd and well sorted (read: few and far between).

bighands69 lol no it cant! not by a longshot! if the audi was being pushed just as hard as the civic it would be GONE, turns included! The British are just mad because they literally have nothing! lol my bad the MINI, WHOPDEEDOO BAZZLE
