I love these English programs - you get two guys fanging around a track mouthing each other off about who’s going to win with what car. It sounds like a whole lot of fun to me.
In this older episode of Fifth Gear, the guys get out the Mini Cooper S and Renault Clio for an agility test and then the speed drive. With the usual hilarity about “how big is your garage”, the Clio comes off better in the agility test.
And suprisingly it also is a whole second faster in the speed test too. Being a whole lot cheaper, if you’re about your car’s performance and not it’s look, you know what you’ll buy. Enjoy the video.
