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!

#Mustang #Accord #WRX
The WRX is disappointing with the auto. Seriously this car is unrecommendable without a stick.
Are you guys at sea level?
GLI SEATS SO UNCOMFORTABLE A 20 YR CURSE TO OWN ONE
Wrx sti ?
Nobody buys a cvt wrx.
Its a WRX, not WRX STI 😁
The GLI is the best value until you have to take it to the dealership for service. Then they charge you the same dollar per hour as an Audi. FAIL
Something actually beat the Accord...FORD whoa
Uh, yeah. Whoever was driving the GLI doesn't know how to drive the GLI. Unless the 2020 GLI isn't the same as a 2017 GLI. DSG can move that muther, if you know it's there...and know how to use it. And two tunes adds 100 HP.
May have had the traction control on...
Wish James would Stan for Toyota like he does everything else. Natural born Hater! But good to see him back the Shit VW and The Shit Accord... atleast he stands for something even if it isn’t that great.
Me in my vw jetta r line like 🥺 why tf did I buy it. Cuz I thought it looked nice. "Looked".
The stang isn't spinning... It's more aerodynamic and more power. Ofcourse it will win this
The accord may win the drag race but the driver will be in mortal agony due to the uncomfortable seats.
that's why honda is knows as "honda motor company " , no one can make engines like them . Pound for Pound nothing comes close
If the ecoboost is anything like my 5.0 it is faster in drive with advanced track off than in sport or track/drag
Gli with nothing but a sw upgrade will put down 300whp and 380wtq.
Looking at title, idk what accord is doing here
The GLI is suffering from a traction control nanny called rough road optimization. Use OBD11 to turn it off next race. The hankooks are a bad tire but they will do much better with RRO turned off.
You guys better get the new Kia k5 in that line up 290hp and 311tq and a dual clutch transmission!
Get an sti not the base wrx
So in a roll a wrx slow af Sames like it's slow to 60 too
I sold my '18 EcoBoost mustang and got a '20 accord 2.0T touring. Mustang is a mess. Ford should goto school at Honda U and learn how to make great cars.
No wet track and no corners. I will guarantee a different result in those circumstances.
Don't call that shit a mustang
I was actually seriously considering a GLI 😓
Why no Audi 2.0t
Auto or manual for the Accord 2.0T? Did they ever do a video on those random times when the manual kind of sucks and the auto is shockingly good?
The four door Honda almost beat the two door mustang.
Gotta add that Mazda 3 turbo to the race
I Just bought the Accord 2.0T Sport and I am amazed at how quick it is. The thing has serious balls!
I owned a 2019 VW GLI, while the car was fast for daily driving and looked nice somewhat blah 😑. It was CHEAP! I bought it brand new and tons of rattles and you heard the DSG hunting for gears. I traded it in.
Ford ahead of the game like always 😂
Can you guys pls make a review on civic si vs gli vs wrx pls.
Imagínate si fuese un honda accord v6
I knew the VW would be slow.
Accords are amazing tbh
Mustang👏
Wow, the car that as 100 hp and 50 pound of torque more than the others, won!!!!! Didnt see it coming!!!! I presume the WRX was cvt's......
Ok, put 4” of snow down and race through a mountain pass...give me the WRX every damn time!
I’ll stick to my V8, cool video though
Honda should be more motivated in developing their Accord more! Its definitely SOMETHING!
Saludos desde MEXICO! excelente Video 🤙🏼
make a mustang gt rave these same cars so we can see how much of a difference there is between entry level sport cars and basic cars.
Team Volkswagen
HONDA rules,, I love my Accord touring HPF...
VW nerfed the GLI. Those TSI Gen 3 engines have crazy headroom with just a tune.
Don’t sleep on the ecoboost mustangs. They’ll catch ya off guard
The WRX falls behind because you can’t shift faster than an computer in the other cars
This is really funny bc die hard wrx guys genuinely think they can outrun 5.0 stangs
The ecoboost mustang costs €55,000 here 😂🇮🇪
Subaru!!! Thats our family car. Legit
this same race with just a flash tune on each vehicle would be awesome to see
Thanks guys. Entertaining. I'm a GLI autobahn fan. Plan to stick with it for price, comfort and performance. Oh, and the looks...
Where are the teenage wrx fanboys crying?
Americans: Very nice this race because have normal cars for day use. Eu com meu corsa na garagem: como assim carros normais pro dia a dia? Wtf
Imma happy Honda fanboi
The accord is fast,.,,,,
Why is the 2.0T so fast compared to it's power rating?
do a wrx with the manuel the cvt is trash
The GLI comes with Hankook tires--either all-season or summer. What exact tires were you dragging on? This would be helpful information!
Why keep adding GLI s to these races? It’s WAYYYYY underpowered
Just something special about the way VW cars drive. For two cars that coast the same the Subaru really does feel cheap to drive, none of the Japanesecars really appealed to me here in Aus as they cost so much compared to European cars.
Is that a CVT WRX
Was the wrx stick or auto?
you kinda sound like daniel ricciardo
Is this the fastest 4 door accord ever...are there faster ones in earlier models
None of these guys know how to drive the wrx smokes all of them
i want my GLI up against this line up my GLI will smash this lineup you guys should redo this with my car
@Brayan Guillen yes Neuspeed tune 3 inch pipe cold air intake running on 7psi 3 inch pipe from the front to the rear straight piped I pull on eco boost mustang all day I’ll even pull on a lot V8s
Is your GLI tuned?
El más perro es el GLI
I mean props to the Subaru for being ancient and still keeping up though
It’s kinda funny when this new gen accord came out everyone thought it was ugly, hated the new 2.0T, and sold horribly. Now look 3 years later everyone wants one😂😂😂😂
Not everyone if you look around when your driving. I dont see very many of them when I'm out
its a Auto WRX looks like from the Price and they didn't even specify thats a big difference from a win to 3rd place! 6speed wrx would have won that
Gli is garbage
The eCoBoost is pretty Fast 💨 my Friend has one but I honestly think 🤔 if the Subaru Guy would launch 🚀 it, he will just take off on all 3.
I was thinking the same thing. This doesn't really show the whole situation. Subaru likely tunes the CVT transmission steps with launch control in mind.
Damn accord is fast for cheap lol he took the WRX 😂
Honda forever!
Lol now check the fuel ⛽️!!!
I wish they put the 2.0t in the si
Wow I'm shocked that wrx came third and honestly that accord hanging with the ecoboost mustang is crazy, value for the performance isn't bad at all.
WRX has a manual, so..
My question is, how well does the small EcoBoost stand up in longevity in being in a car that size?
Awesome video
This just remind me why I watch top gear and carwow. In what universe would a wrx sti come last to a Honda and VW?
@Bajan Aussie i get confused to between the 2 sometimes too. Especially when i see a winged wrx and a wing deleted sti
@Brayan Guillen true,not sure why I said sti
It's a WRX not a STI.
I tell ppl dont sleep on them accords man they just a slighty detuned type r engine them shits quick🔥🔥
Cool line up.
😴😴😴😴
Way back Honda made the Accord S with a 2.5l, pls bring back the 2.5
Big oof on the best value for the GLI
Wish they made accord RWD. Engien is nice with tune it can push more than 300hp
I rented an Ecoboost Mustang 2 years ago. Worth every penny. Have driven 5.0 back in the day... and this thing was a monster. This car spoiled me. I want one now. It was just that good as a base offering.
I think it would interesting to see how these cars would compare on a track Personally I think the gli will perform much better than it did in the drag race because german cars generally handle better than japanese and american cars
If that gli had a Manuel transmission everything would be different. I got a Mk6 gli Manuel and I’ve hurt so much feelings including lots of Honda Accord sports. Ain’t talking trash I actually like how the accord looks but that 10speed automatic makes the car slower. If u know how to shift a Manuel u can squeeze the juice out of every gear.
Even if it was slower I'd choose the Mustang.
Out of curiosity. What if you lined up the accord 2.0T against something older. I drive an 01 Acura CL Type S. It boasts 260 hp. I love the car with power high red line at 6800 rpm for a SOHC 3.2 V6. Just a thought.
WRX shameful ricer
Isnt the wrx awd??
I got nervous when Thomas was in the Mustang. He always seems to end up in the slower car.
I've got a GLI with the 6 speed, and man, from a dig it will spin those wheels with stock tires. Gotta pop a few mods, and it becomes a complete beast for what you paid
@Demonslayer2597 yea awe is the way to go. I got the track edition with a cts catless dp welded on. Oof i want the pilot sports too but I think im going to settle with firestone indy 500 for now. Cobb is good , i got the accesport but I'm running on EQT tune which it's more aggressive. Don't forget about upgrading the clutch!
@Brayan Guillen right now I've got stock tires, so I'm running it as basically factory, just the exhaust is changed to AWE. Once I run the tires out, changing them to Pilot sports, and doing a COBB tune again
GLIs and GTIs stock tires are trash. Is your GLI tuned? My gti is literally skating on them even more since I've got it tuned.
I remember when I first got my car from car max, and I had to bring it in for some issue, and they gave me the accord sport 2.0t to use for the time being. They gave me one with Honda’s gorgeous platinum white pearl and black OEM rims. Absolutely beautiful, and I even played around with a stinger GT on the highway at one point. The car is way faster than you think, and it definitely made me consider trading my car in for one
🤣 this is a weird race..so true
