    @teanshin – Hammond …
    @teanshin – Hammond is talking about power delivery and driving characteristics, size and weight, and other things that makes it such a great engine in the nose of a Corrado. Your Auto Trader says to avoid the VR6 mainly due to reliability problems the early engines suffer from.

    Great engine, but it can be problematic.

    I love the MBZ 190e. Reminds me of the BMW e30. I want them both! But in the end… I’d rather just have an Audi.

    he says that VW VR6 thats the best engine VW ever made,but if you look in auto trader reviews they say that to avoid 4×4 VR6′s…why?? i have VW passat V5 and that is the best car i’ve ever owned

    @7h3647h32in6: You are probably right but the NSX Type-R cost £70,000 when Top Gear tested it.

  13. 7h3647h32in6 says:

    @sup3rcars Depends …
    @sup3rcars Depends on the year, I think. In 2003, a new NSX was $90,000, or £58,000. That’s affordable enough to make them moderately common for a sports car. Certainly, it’s no corvette, but it’s on par with the 911′s.

  14. sup3rcars says:

    The NSX wont be …
    The NSX wont be cheap, it cost around £70,000 when it was new I think so it’s rare…

    @PSNBOB580

    year that been some crazy times in world rally championship.
    The quattro had over 500 hp in very compact size.
    That is the reason why it had so huge spoilers on the front and back.
    The drivers said this car was extremely hard to drive and could slide away out of nothing any moment.

    Today the power of WRC cars is limited to 300hp and have better electronics to to help getting the power on the road.
    Also the viewers aren’t that close to the road anymore!!
