( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2013 Ford Focus ST and the VW Golf R and Nissan Juke Nismo are three of the newest and sportiest hatchback cars that you can buy today. The 2013 Ford Focus ST represents a best of Ford's American and European performance team while the Golf R is the top Golf that you can buy in America. And while the 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo is just a little bit more powerful than the regular Juke it also represents the sportiest 5 door car that Nissan currently builds. So of course we wanted to know which of these hot hatchbacks is the fastest from 0-60 MPH at a mile above sea level. In another fun and informative TFLcar mashup review...we get the entire TFLcar team together to test the cars and crown a winner.

Pretty sure they had the Juke's CVT in manual shift mode, and then failed to use the paddle shifters. That's why it was changing 'gear' at ~7K instead of ~4.5-5K. It's shifting to prevent you redlining too long and destroying the engine when you forget you're in manual shift mode.

Do you even know what CVT is ???? There was no step tronic in this video only auto CVT sucking ??? If they had it in step tronic you would see it

@hannahroy1260 2 жыл бұрын

@@DJPJ2741 the juke can simulate shifts with 8 preset shift algorithms when in sport or manual. They were in manual and using it as if it was in automatic. In manual it allows you to row through your own “gears” and as a safety the car will upshift on its own so it does not redline and damage itself

I feel your pain with the Golf R and the short gearing. My Mazdaspeed Miata only does 42 about in 2nd and I autocross with it which means I am rowing the gears from 2nd to 3rd back 2nd and so on during my run the through, or hopefully around the cones. I feel it makes it more of a challenge and more entertaining, while the other autocrossers can stay in 2nd their entire run.

Don't listen to that guy Roman you guys are great at it because honestly how many people can actually launch a car perfectly, that takes so much time and practice I'm impressed that you get the numbers you get given such short time with the cars! On the other hand i'm sure the golf can do a little better if you feed it clutch instead of just letting go so quickly but it will shorten the life of the clutch by so much its not even worth it.

@pnlcarmichael5949 9 жыл бұрын

Love the videos, but one thing - the turbochargers should compensate entirely for the altitude (although not heat). This is because a TC builds to a given manifold pressure, not a given airflow (like a roots supercharger) or linearly to RPM (like a centri-supercharger or N/A car). This is why you don't apply SAE altitude corrections to turbocharged cars, regardless of altitude. Try turning off the TC next time - if I'm pulling better times on a MkV GTI with only an APR Stage 1 (and all-seasons), you're leaving performance out there ~somewhere~.
