Mustang EcoBoost vs Subaru WRX vs Volkswagen GLI vs Honda Accord // DRAG & ROLL RACE

Thomas and James put some of the most exciting new cars head to head...most of the time. This time, it's the economy performance cars with automatic gearboxes. The 2020 Ford Mustang Ecoboost Premium ($42,275 CAD), with the largest displacement of the pack at 2.3L , goes toe to toe with the turbocharged Honda Accord 2.0T Touring ($40,405 CAD) the Subaru WRX ($35,795) and the VW GLI ($33,345) which packs the least punch of the three in terms of horsepower, but is the lightest. They all have automatic transmissions. Who will take the win, and by how much? Things don't always go as predicted. Watch to find out. Subscribe!

The mechanic I took my car said the spark plugs were the culprit. But the engine oil wasn’t milky colored at all. So if it wasn’t the gasket, then how could spark plugs cause coolant to drain so much? I’m baffled. I’m no mechanic. That’s why I’m asking you.

It will take sales from the type R civic and those numbers are still hardly worth keeping it around. It's not like the 90's anymore where money was abundant and automakers had freedom to do what they wanted.

[@esnebta]

What do you expect them to do with it? The 10AT already has better gearing than the FK8. You're better off just doing an ECU reflash, and then doing the same mods that FK8 people do to get more power; downpipe + fuel system upgrade. Get a carbon fiber plug for the moon roof glass, remove the moon roof motor, then upgrade the front brakes to the FK8 brakes / rotors. If the FK8 calipers do not fit on the 10g Accord knuckles, then it's about $150 for the aluminum caliper brackets that let you use 04-09 Acura RL 4-piston aluminum calipers that go for about $250/pair. Then use those on the new, 2-piece FK8 rotors. Replace wheels / tires. If any of this sounds like "too much work" or "too much of a hassle" then I guess you're just not actually a car enthusiast. If you think I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to modifying Accords to achieve measurable performance improvements; then I cannot hear you over the sound of the thousands of dollars that I have already made this year from doing this stuff. Acura TLX might have some suspension parts such as sway bars that could be thicker, and an improvement over the 10g Accord sway bars. My '06 Accord Sedan V6 6MT runs 12s. The only aftermarket part I have is a flywheel, LSD and 4 custom size shims in my Frankenstein transmission prototype. Shed 85 lbs already using junkyard Accord hybrid & Acura TL aluminum parts.

Yes, the most base Mustang made 😂. And keeping up with and losing by more then one and a half car links is pretty significant different actually. Don't get me wrong, the Accord is definitely fast for what it is. It is not going to be in competitive however against any of the American base sports cars in any way shape or form. The Mustang proved that. Despite the Mustangs excess weight, it only has a 300cc advantage and it still mopped the floor with the newest version of the Honda Accord turbo. Meanwhile that particular Ford setup's been around now for almost half a decade.

I have both a 4.6 roush and a ecoboost mustang and I honestly love both. The ecoboost surprised me. Its great as long as you know what to expect. Lots of torque. Not too much lag and the manual trans feels great. Doesn't sound great but it grows on you . My only complaint is that it gets weezy up top. Not a rever.

Wish Subaru went with a good automatic transmission instead of the junk cvt.

The cvt isn't junk. It's just whoever was driving it didn't put it into the right sports mode. Wrx comes with sport # and the cvt transmission changes its behavior in that mode

I love your car selection but why don't you provide timings. If you have a consistent track place you can keep timings objective. Its hard to compare the level of performance

[@jayburke2798]

Timings vary too much. Air temp may result in different horsepower output, surface temp has a large affect on tires, and the drivers themselves have a huge difference. People find it very hard to match C&D times because C&D may go full send without a care in the world while others will not risk the car. And these guys will not attempt the best times if it means destroying a car. I like their head to head testing. All cars have the same air and surface temp to deal with.

[@BigDunker345]

Jay Burke I agree but it would be nice to at least have timing differences. So for example in this race the mustang would get a 0 and the accord might get a .2, signifying that it was behind by .2 seconds in the race. This way there’s no hard number people will say the cars shoulda done since they’re not giving that, the only thing they’re giving is the difference between the cars on that specific day which I would be happy with because I have a hard time always telling how much a car won by

If a vehicle has a coupe and sedan variant. Most likely these days the sedan will be lighter just because it has 4 doors doesn't always mean it's waaay heavier. One good example is a G37 sedan being lighter than a G37 coupe a Q50 sedan is lighter than a Q60 Coupe.

[@TheWombat2012]

Just picked up my 2021 2.3 HP in “Yellow Peel” with the six speed manual. The High Performance version is the only four cylinder we get in Australia. We also get a 19” spare tyre as Ford Australia told America that we need spare tyres here, as you can easily be hours away from a decent tyre shop in rural and regional areas. It’s a fantastic car. We wanted the EcoBoost version. I could easily afford a V8, but wanted to be different. It also goes like stink. We test drove a V8 manual to see what the seating position was like, and honestly the V8 didn’t “feel” like it was worth the extra money to buy one (and it costs around $1200 a year to register a V8 in my state, whereas a four is only about $750 or so a year). I was also drawn to the fact that it’s built from the factory in the USA in right hand drive. Other American cars we get here now are brought here and then chopped up and converted to RHD, which has been causing some issues with the conversion and quality. The version we get here is loaded with all the fruit such as multi mode exhaust, full digital dash, body kit parts, launch control, etc etc, that are options in the USA. I love it…if you’re considering one, test drive one with an open mind,

[@awsgamer64]

@Silly String The next generation of WRX and STI are coming out in the next 2 years with the new FA engine, with rumors of ~300hp for the WRX and ~350 for the STI. No doubt overall driving feel is lost compared to a 2004 STI, but that's the case with most modern cars. Reliability has been better so far on the current FA in the WRX compared to the EJ, so I'm curious to see how the second generation FA will be reliability wise.

[@azulramos8957]
