Peugeot 208 GTi vs Renault Clio 200 Vs Ford Fiesta ST | Top Gear | Series 20 | BBC

It's the Battle of the GTi's as Richard test drives the Peugeot 208 GTi, Renault Sport Clio 200, and Ford Fiesta ST. Who will be the king of the Hot Hatch?

9 years later, this video was one of the reasons I bought a Fiesta ST. I’ve been loving every minute of owning it!

That heel-toe down shifting, nicely done.

Well this decision is easy for us who live in the states.

2:36 "I have got a G diagram... of my G" still the best thing I have ever heard from the hamster

[BillyDrakePianoMan]

This episode is why my dad got a Fiesta ST. It really is all Hammond says it is. It’s an absolute dream to drive.

I've just bought a Fiesta ST and it's awesome. You really need to drive one to really understand but they are to a driver what a Spitfire is to a pilot! You strap it on like it's a part of you! Seriously incredible car. I smile every time I drive it and I drive it often 😈😈😈

I often find topgear reviews hopelessly based in a world where money is no object, so it is quite refreshing to hear Hammond making a big point of the price difference between the two. Even the likes of Chris Harris often breezes over such a point. People claiming Corsa VXR n'ring edtn's, golf gti's and BMW 135i's are faster or better are totally missing the point. These all cost significantly more like for like. The fact that the fiesta could give any one of these a run for their money down a tight and twisty b-road at a fraction of the cost is nothing short of amazing. Well done Ford.

I LOVE that Fiesta, the looks, the interior, the feel of the thing, an epic piece of engineering in my opinion, but I can also see why someone would get the other two, that Peugeot in particular, I wouldn't turn that down in a hurry, but the geeky stuff on the Renault is a bit much for me, it's just a bit much for what it is

[buca]

Pretty dumb choice from Renault to make the Clio RS auto only.

[HaggisNHorsepower]

One of my favourite TG test of all time :)

[lejybdu]

It would have been very surprising to see top Gear team make the choice of a French car :D

2:45 you go into the menu and then you can travel two hours into to past

Blue Grippy, Red Drifty, Yellow Racey

I'd probably go for the peugeot out of the three, simply because it's the best looking. Other than that, there doesn't appear to be much between them.

[Psychlist]

These guys have so much fun. This is why I like the original BBC show, and not the American one.

[AristotelisMitsiou]

Imagine a car with the body of the Renault, the engine and gearbox of the Peugeot and the fantastic cornering abilities of the Ford? That would be THE perfect car

5:53 the clio4 launch control just demolished the other x) !!

[rightfight]

Used to hate Fords but now I respect them for their hot hatches, and new 350R Mustang. I feel like they took a huge turn in the past 5 years in the states because of great moves like bringing the ST's in the states

[thomaskincaid]

Personally to me there is just something about Renault and Peugot I just love! Having spent every summer in France driving around in my grandmothers Renault I just want one!
