Have the souped up (but still rather slow) version of my car reviewed against the now departed doug dedouchebag mobile. Edit: also enjoy this not even slightly sexist top comment because youtube "I mean.. Sorry, but I feel like the female does not fit in the program. Its like males were giving you advice how to breast feed. Just unnatural. My opinion at least"

it's only slow if you look at the numbers, warm hatches are about feel. My old 2000 VW polo 16v weighed about the same as the Panda 100hp and coincidentally had 100hp too, it was brilliant, enough power for the UK and an absolute hoot to chuck into bends.

Oh I agree completely. Even my 70hp diesel is great fun to chuck about on a B road, they're momentum cars. But this is a mostly american website, to some my car is so slow it's unsafe and the 100hp is on the bottom end of acceptable...

Dare I say that the Polo felt faster in a straight line than my mx5 because the engine revs so much more sweetly and sounded great despite being over 2 seconds slower to 60.

My car gets the same effect but for different reasons. Because it's so noisy, unrefined and the tires are crap so you can light them up very easily, the drama makes it feel a lot faster than it is. Then you look at the speedo...

I'd love to upgrade to a 100hp or any warm hatch though. I keep looking at the Fiesta ST and thinking it's a cool car but more and more I'm leaning towards the Zetec S if I were to actually buy one since I could use more of the cars potential on the road.

There less dickhead factor too, a lot of ST's have the stripes and look blingy causing non car people to think you're a dickhead. the S is more subtle.

True, as long as you avoid the bright green you can get the Zetec S in.

It stands out pretty well...

that it does but the vw fanboy in me wants the ultimate invisible warm hatch. 0-60 in 7.6 and no one takes a second look.

Is it the 1.4 tsi? Would make for an amusing sleeper, although it's very pricey for what you get.

it is a variant of it, just lacking the supercharger. it is more expensive but I'd pay that considering the jump in pace and the better resale value.

Hmm I've never been a huge fan of VW just because of the extra grand or two you pay over similar cars. The 140hp 1.4 tsi is around the price of the Fiesta ST for example, you get a nicer interior in the Polo and what not but considering my car's dash seems to be made from melted down milk cartons that sorta stuff doesnt really bother me.

BUT I RARELY RUB ON THE DASH SO I'D NEVER NOTICE.

I like Vicki. She's a genuine petrol-head. She is always enthusiastic and she can drive.

As a child of the Seventies, I can't look at anything with a Fiat badge, without some degree of prejudice. I know that design, build quality and reliability have improved dramatically but I'm still leery.

Well up until the early 00s they still made some unreliable stuff but since they released the Panda things have been a fair bit better.

Confession: I have a slight crush on Vicki.

After watching her F12 Berlinetta review. I'm certain she's fantastic in the sac.

I think a lot of people do. I don't see it myself, but she seems nice enough.

I think her enthusiasm is the biggest reason. I'm pretty sure she climaxed during that Ferrari review.

Only slight?

Vicki or Sabine?

Trick question: they both win and are awesome.

I think Sabine has the edge, while behind the wheel but Vicki's personality makes me smile.
