I just don’t see the Type R beating the Megane Trophy R - A vaporware car specifically designed to crush the Ring.

Possibly the increased downforce is hurting it on the last straight? Whatever is gained before that point might be lost during this final section. They probably would need to dial down the damping too or the car will bounce around like a ping pong ball on that track.

Finally, a proper comparison and a really good one too. Really liked the dog comparisons lol.

So the FL5 is faster from the dig, from a roll and better braking?

This was a well organized and written review that captures in words some of the thoughts I had driving the FL5. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again for another review.

The ride quality really seems to split one way or another with reviews.

I've heard it described as Si like in comfort mode to better than the Si in comfort mode.

I'll be excited to see for myself soon enough.

Meaden’s one of the greats. This write-up more than any other I’ve read is making me impatient to get mine. It’s the first review that makes the car seem worth the price.

great review as always with Evo.

i30N, GR Yaris and Type R all get 5 stars and the Golf R gets 3 stars. Ouch.

For those who have never seen Meaden drive the Broadley...this is insanely good....

Proof that the blue FK8 in Throttle House's video has a tune.
