Right it's a life changer

It's software

Dont forget, pointless drag race

You are not gonna race everyday though

@@hybridAbsol depends, Drag racing involves tremendous engineering as well

Which car reviews you watch? Must be a shit one

@@KIM-nc7ti Just who the hell do you think I am?

I would say that he took into consideration both Taniguchi's and Orido's arguments. He agreed the tire choice from the factory for the A45 was not as effective as the STi, but he also considered the performance they both gave, as well as the quality and characteristics of the cars. If you watch Orido's scoring he says the STi out-scored the A45 mostly because it's excellent bang for buck. You get 6 pots up front and supremely designed suspension and chassis along with a good tire choice from the factory, while the A45 was an overall more accommodating vehicle, with performance to match, but costs 3 million yen more, which isn't chump change. Tsuchiya basically said performance wise they're basically identical, but it just depends how much you want to spend and what you expect out of the car. You can either say the STi is better because it's nearly as performant as the A45 for 3 million yen less (nearly 30k USD) or you can say the A45 is the more complete package because you get the performance of a STi (which is an excellent bar to set for yourself) but you still maintain the luxury fittings and ride quality. The A45 they just released here in the U.S.A. could arguably have another leg up due to the A series Mercs having the newer MBUX system, which is one of the most advanced vehicle management/interactive systems in production, which pushes the technology gap between the two even further. But, you're going to pay some $$$$ for that tech. Overall, I'd say this is the most balanced race I've seen in this series aside from the Amuse S2k and the other one (I forgot the tuner's name, but it was several years back. An absolute epic battle that I think remains unresolved to this day).

they have a special place in heaven

The WRX is a joke now, cant even outrun a Camry or Accord

@@hybridAbsol that was a wrx sti type s, not a wrx. lol. but yes, wrx sucks

@@sonofdemigod you should shut up instead. an accord 2.0t would smack a wrx.

Top Gear is never this serious.. TG is an entertainment show with cars in it.

@@driveintherain yeah more on fun reviews

Doubt that, Japan car manufacturers could care less about racing nowadays

Stock vs Stock off the shelf

300 HP for a daily street car is MORE than enough. I have this car and I do not understand why anyone would need to mod this to make more unless you're racing it on the weekends.

@@hybridAbsol With everyone wanting "performance" SUVs it doesn't make sense to compete in the Sedan market anymore. It's a shame that the racing spirit is lost in cars nowadays. In favor of huge mommy cars with 300+ hp but no cornering ability.

trust me, you are not alone

@A A it didn't suck though. It sucks now, but it didn't then.

I agree

Ja to chcę

i wouldnt hold my breath. subaru makes too much money doing other things anymore.

this wrx almost 30000 usd cheaper lol. very impressive for japanese cars to me

Japanese car focus has turned towards other, profitable interests than sports cars anymore. Not the fun and daring carmakers they used to be.

現行A45更に速くなってそうですね😓 新型ヤリスをチューニングしたら五分じゃないでしょーか…日本のチューナーに期待です💨

exciting but nothing to do with an AMG, come on ...

Why?
