Hi mate,

Ive got one somewhere comparing some Pug Denz and A5 3.0tdi with the 335d which quite comrehensively rapes them.

There are LOADS of reviews on this UK site about 335d's

I have loads of vids of mullering various cars if your interested?!

cheers. Didnt realise that they were so many available to view without coughing up a few quid.

bet no one has any diesel car reviews....

dxb335d · 01-28-2011, 09:57 AM

Right heres one for Ginger, a car in similar performance to your clio

(My car = remapped 335d)

a Seat Ibiza Cupra R with 180HP and much more torque. (Cam in Seat )

Against an E36 M3 EVO.

Against Re-mapped 320d. camera in 320d

Against a Standard 335i (camera in 335i)

Against a re-mapped 310HP Vectra VXR (Camera in VXR)

jinjur · 01-28-2011, 10:10 AM

Chap, i NEVER said i would do a 335d on a strip....i repeated that, maybe ten times...come on now. Big hp difference there and that + driver skill is what counts.

Thats like a Veyron owner saying he would do you..... Of course they would. Badly. With blood.

I was just musing that on OUR back roads, in the real world. Would i pick a fight with a 335d?........yup, absolutely.

Maybe not ALL 335d drivers are as committed or skilled a driver as your good self mate. A Clio's handling would flatter even the most spastic driver (me) moreso than a 335d im sure.

nice vids.............

that vauxhall was dissapointing, the cupra seemed like he had his handbrake on ( as did the 320d) & the 335i was a bit off the pace.

How much is it down to the fact that in the 335d you just bury the throttle & take off ??

Quick car + good driver mate.

Its quite hard to get off the line perfectly. Standing starts are not its Forte... Rolling starts are!!!! Even quicker from a roller.

it's a car magazine called "Diesel Car" (or used to be )

here it is http://www.dieselcaronline.co.uk/ there are revies but not like the magazine ones......... seem a bit watered down as are some of the other reviews. Really wanted an indepth group test review on reflection

do you just hit the throttle at the green light or do you rev it with the brakes on & then release the brakes ?? traction control on or off ??

elucid · 01-28-2011, 10:35 AM

There are some good 335d articles on Evolve's site too:

Just pulling away is slow. You do have to "Brake Boost" T/c completely off. Get some practise with it partially off at first.
