Townsend Motors Press Release
27 January
We would like to apologize to our customers, both existing and potential. Due to new government fuel economy testing methods, we regrettably must inform the public that the Townsend Titusâs revised fuel economy figures are lower than originally expected. The new combined rating is over 33 MPG.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this new government method has caused.
Silly game updates. 
sorry no stylish this and that or photoshop here, I barely have time but if Iâm going to be judging UE4 cars I better try my hand at making one right and this is perfect timing to reveal the-
Armada Fore Gen. IV GTi
where the hell are the shadows!?!?
Despite the protestations of a certain Annabel Herrington, granddaughter of the founder of Armada, and current head of the Driver Development arm of Armada Racing, The Fore is as fine a representation of the companyâs philosophy but also expanding legacy, as their first truly successful production model that also embodies their quirky dedication to the go-fast bits at budget prices. Even in an expanding array of trims as is the wont of the hatch and its versatility, the mainstay of Armada has been the GTi variant, the one with all the punch without sacrificing much of the trim. Itâs the one you can live with every day but by golly it goes like the blazers. Ever since the 2nd Generation, Armada have nailed the hot hatch down to a fine art, and even if they only have the production capacity to capture a smaller slice of the pie, their customers know exactly what they want and thatâs exactly what they get.
For as long as the hot hatch remains relevant, which we presume will be a long time, the Fore GTi always has had and always will have the following: four proper seats, a manual transmission, front-wheel drive, limited slip diff and independent suspension. It boasts a lightweight construction with an unbeatable combination of speed and fuel economy and grippy but pliant handling. It is an Armada promise to deliver the quickest liveable hot hatch for the price, but of course, the proof is in the pudding.
The ride is firm, yes, but tuned for dynamism and maximum cornering grip. This kind of performance, especially the cornering of all speeds, will see it outdo even more powerful dedicated sports cars, all while not burning a hole in your pocket with service and fuel costs.
For the real driver at heart, given the price, it is difficult to see why youâd want anything else⌠if you can get your hands on one. As every Armada car hails from the same single factory, these fly out the door faster than they can be made, so stake your claim now and find out for yourself exactly what strange magic goes on in that shed in Norwich.

THE GATES ARE CLOSED
The first reviews will come today, with a girlfriendâs review of how the car looks (gotta be able to convince the wife to splurge) and a blurb for those that didnât make the cut to the showdown.
oh shit, taking CSR realism to a new level, I like
Living dangerously arenât you?
Are you sure that your wife and girlfriend have the same taste in cars? 
The CY series (CY.I) Maesima Prova was released in 2006 and manufactured in Namju, Anikatia, the Prova was powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. Transmission options consisted of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic units. It was a small, front-wheel drive vehicle that marked a major turning point in Maesimaâs history. It was the start of a new era, the first-ever Maesima designed jointly with Cavallara Motors in Europe. Maesima having just survived the Asian Financial Crisis and Collapse of Communism in Anikatia. Its long term foreign partners Komodo Motors sold its substantial share of the company sold during the height of the financial crisis ending a partnership from the 1980s. The original Prova was product of the shared knowledge, it was big success that helped Maesima through the harsh periods of austerity and financial crisis. But now in a new era and with new partnership. Komodo sold to the Spanish brand Cavallara Motors, which quickly got to work on new designs.
The fruits of this new partnership arrived in the form of an all-new CY series Prova based on a shared platform, with a shared all-new engine architecture. Within Maesima it was known as the C-platform. Although the new MC-LC4M20-engine family shared the same basic block and internal components the layout and tunes were completely different. The engine had a cast iron block, an cast cylinder head, double overhead camshafts (chain-driven), four valves per cylinder. This engine was the first to feature Maesimaâs Active Valve and Lift Electronic Control (ActiVEC) Variable valve lift and Variable valve timing with ActiVEC Plus technology which was developed from Cavalleraâs own Camtronic Automated Valve Active Lift (CAVAL) system. Depending on the configuration the engine had either the just ActiVEC or the ActiVEC Plus. The 2006 Prova arrived with four engines based on this platform a naturally aspirated 1.5L ActiVEC, a naturally aspirated 1.8L with ActiVEC Plus a naturally aspirated 2.0L with ActiVEC Plus and a turbocharged 2.0L with ActiVEC Plus. All engines retained a multi-port fuel injection as did the Cavallara variants.
The basic C-platform shared the same 2.45m wheelbase and same MacPherson struts in front suspension, the Maesima retained a revised and returned version of the Torsion Beam setup of the original Prova. While the Cavallara variants used their own Semi Trailing Arm rear suspension design. The platform used AHS steel and steel panels for an extremely rigid and safe chassis compared to many of its competitors. While this gave the model a solid feel and greater protection, it also meant the design was generally heavier than its rivals. The highlight of the range was the return of the acclaimed ST-R trim. While a two door coupe was no longer offered. Moving with the times the ST-R moved towards a four door hatchback design. bringing new levels of sophistication and quality to the ST-R badge.
In 2009 the CY series II (CY.II ) Prova lineup was refreshed with all models getting a revised headlights and front fascia while taillights and rear were also updated, inside changes were to increase refinement and adding features. All engines were retained and retuned and refined while a new five-speed automatic transmission replaced the old four-speed and the five speed manual was further refined. The Prova continued to offer sporty styling, class-leading value with a plethora of standard features and safety equipment.
Available as a four-door sedan or five-door hatchback in five standard trim levels - Xz entry level 1.5L manual with optional automatic , mid level Tz 1.8L manual with optional automatic. Then the sport-tuned ST with a 2.0L manual with optional automatic. Finally the top grade premium trim ST-Z offering standard automatic and 2.0L engine with optional manual plus a comprehensive list of standard and available safety features that make it stand out from the crowd in a hotly competitive compact-car market. Finally the flagship ST-R performance model offered only as a four door hatchback. This striking design stands apart with a turbocharged 2.0L and five-speed manual and viscous LSD.
Offering 0-100 in just 6.5 seconds, while returning an average combined cycle of 7.7L per 100 km. Its the perfect balance of sporty fun and family practicality. The ST-R features sport-tuned, suspension and 17-inch alloy wheels and tires for better steering response and handling. Other standard features include cruise control, sporty design touches such as a rear spoiler, unique front fascia with fog lights, faux-leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob with perforated faux-leather, sport fabric on the seats and door panels and metal-finish trim throughout the interior, including metal pedals.
The Prova follow Maesimaâs brand philosophy of offering great safety equipment, with standard airbags, four-wheel disc brakes are standard on all models, and four-sensor, four-channel anti-lock brakes with electronic stability control. Additional safety features include: front seatbelt pre-tensioners and force limiters, three-point seatbelts for all five seating positions, Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) and child safety door latches.
Incorporating a Turbocharged ActiVEC Plus and multi-port fuel injection, the ST-R Prova are powered by a 2.0-liter DOHC engine that produces 151 kW (202hp) horsepower and 240 Nm (177 ft lb) of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, while an improved electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission is available as an option. The new transmission is lighter in weight, more durable and provides improved operation. The Prova ST-Râs suspension layout uses MacPherson struts in front and a Torsion Beam design in the rear, and was carefully tuned to achieve the optimum balance between a comfortable ride and responsive handling. Front and rear stabiliser bars are standard on all models and handling is aided by a precise rack-and-pinion steering system equipped with engine-speed-sensitive power assist.
A sport-tuned suspension provides both the ST-R with an athletic stance, while a strut tower bar provides additional torsional rigidity for better handling and quicker turn-in. Like all of Maesimaâs vehicles, each model features an impressive list of standard features inside and out, including: auto-off headlights, AM/FM/CD audio system with four speakers, remote keyless entry, height adjustable steering column, tachometer, cruise control, six-way adjustable driverâs seat, digital clock, carpeted floor mats, in-cabin air filter, tinted glass, rear window defroster and dual map lights with sunglasses holder.
Like all Maesima models, the Prova ST-R is covered by a comprehensive warranty program, which offers unprecedented consumer protection. Included in the package are a 8-year or 100,000-mile limited power train warranty; a four-year or 60,000-mile limited basic warranty; and a four-year or 100,000-mile anti-perforation warranty. A four-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance plan is also part of the comprehensive coverage program.

The first generation Cavallera Kunai joins the fray. Released in 2006 on the C platform co-developed with Maesima, and manufactured on production lines alongside the Prova in Anikatia, and on Cavalleraâs own lines in Spain and elsewhere in Europe, the Kunai comes with a 2 litre inline four petrol engine, with variants all the way down to 1.5L. Either a 5-speed manual or automatic can be paired with any engine. Sitting on a 2.5m wheelbase, this top C trim differs from the Prova ST-R by putting power down through all wheels and sitting on a 3 door construction. The debut of this platform was a new page for the company, putting the new modular engine architecture to use, and allowing the company to gain new R&D capability, design influence and access to new markets - but it would also be the first foray into the world of hatchbacks after almost a decade.
Around the end of the 90s, Anikatia had slumped into the Financial Crisis. Companies were desperate for money but Komodo Motors was facing itâs own issues and backed out of their earlier partnership with Maesima. This offered a good opportunity for a smaller company like Cavallera to take a bold risk with itâs survival at stake for mutual success that would be a welcome boost to both brands. The first product to arise out of this joint effort was the new C platform, upon which the Kunai and Prova would be based. This platform would be a front wheel drive focused, monocoque AHS chassis with MacPherson front suspension and a choice between torsion or semi-trailing arm setup in the rear. Sitting at the front, transversely, is the 4M20, a 2.0L four-cylinder engine family based off the modular engine architecture from 2001, retaining older cast iron block technology and bottom end components, but forging ahead with a four valve per cylinder dual overhead cam design and employing the CAVAL system (variable valve timing and variable valve lift). This sporty C trim (C referring to Chiroptera, the technical name for a bat, the symbol of good luck and also the logo of the sports division of Cavallera) has the full size 2 litre inline 4 with CAVAL 1, meaning VVL together with VVT on the exhaust cams only, and a turbocharged and intercooler engine outputting 242 horsepower using multipoint fuel injection through individual throttle bodies for enhanced response and performance.
All in all, the Cavallera Kunai C is an exotic Spanish Sangria - a potent, enticing blend of cutting-edge looks, driving pleasure and top-notch performance that can also star on the relaxing side for a meal of real-world livability. A versatile companion that can make memories and can make you smile. For only 14 grand (@0%), you can untame your heart.
A girlfriend review of the car looks? Haha coming full circle here if you recall I did the same thing in the very first CSR EDIT: just not with a wife in the side, you dirty scoundrel
Is that a FWD hatchback doing a burnout with its rear wheels?
not sure if facetious joke or you actually didnât read the post and missed AWD marketing spam
For some clarification on the lore side - Famal is Zavirâs cheap/standard brand from France, bought by them in the late 70s, Avance is their standard compact model and GTi is their traditional sporty trim - the top one though is the extreme XTS.

The exterior might have gone quack quack, but the suspension went WHACK WHACK with a rear ride frequency of 2.25 and damping of 0.59 the car felt uncomfortable at any speed, and with a turbo lag that could leave you counting the time on your watch it wasnât the most cooperative buddy for day to day traffic either. But dear lord, despite its small size it packs 187 hp and grips like no tomorrow, neatly allowing the tail to come out when you lift off your foot in a corner ( or hell, sometimes when there was no turbo boost). This would make a great little racecar for a trackday, but sadly itâs not something I could live with from day to day.

TOOOORRQUEEEEEEâŚaaaand nothing, TOOOOORRRQUEEEEâŚaaand nothing. This engine was a bit of a disappointment as it didnât feel really sporty, nor did the chassis. Somehow it felt like a normal hatchback, although with a DCT, snuck into my list. It would be okay-ish to daily though as the interior felt like a nice place to be, and the suspension was forgiving yet not ship-like.

âThis is a very circular car, itâs just a circle, Iâm not sure if the colour worksâ
Blurb
What a neat little warm hatch, the engine feels sporty, like, you gotta wring its neck, let it climb high, for all of the torques to appear, if you can keep it up high it most certainly delivers, not nice for city driving, but it is nice as a driving enthusiast. 140 PS doesnât sound like a lot, but as a featherweight at 930 kg, it is far from slow once it is up to speed. And speed it wonât easily give up, with nimble, agile, tail swinging agility and a LSD. Yet sadly this car isnât a nice pal to live with day to day with its stiff suspension and extremely low torque engine.

âToo normal looking, and very yellow, doesnât work well with that car I thinkâ
Blurb
How on earth is someone supposed to pronounce the full name of this? Oh well, leaving that asides, it is a very lovely NA engine, for nothing having VVL, torque coming on at an acceptable 4000 rpm, with the engine redlining at 7900 rpm, thatâs half a rev range of fun here boys and girls. Put that power down with an LSD, and it should work very well in corners too. Should. Sadly, this Roma is a patient of chronic understeeritis. It is fast in a straight line for an NA vehicle though, and the comfort is live-able with.

One of the most powerful cars here, yet sadly needs a lot of turbo lag, and quite frankly, a weird torque curve to achieve this, it also understeers like a b*tch. The car is perfectly liveable with though. Sadly, with this tough competition, the power didnât make up for the the understeer.

Me: âDo you like how it looks?â
âItâs okâŚI dont like like it, but itâs alrightâ
Blurb
What a neat liveable engine, makes great power for an NA 1.8L engine too. Especially for how light this car is, 1150 kg, it is pretty nimble, and hell, the suspension can be harsh, but it is daily-able. The huge shame of this car is though, that its front tyres too, like to let go. Without any kind of TC or stability control it isnât something Iâd be comfortable with to let my gf drive though. Also, this is entirely subjective, but the looks didnât work well for me: the rear end looked squished and the overall car looks like its still a concept car.

Blurb
To power or not to power, that is the question; Whether âtis nobler in the engine to sluggish. The slings and arrows of outrageous torque, or take arms with a sea of power. So much torque, but still only 120 hp, a huge shame, and another car that seems to have snuck into the hot hatch list, although with aggressive styling, but nothing else to separate it from its ordinary hatchback brethren.

âWooohaa, thats a bit of a weird shape, its a chubby car! Nice colour! It just looks a bitâŚbloatedâ
Blurb
Oh this one does have a good amount of grunt for a tiny one, with a LOT of turbo lag though, but still with good fuel economy too. Its handling is quite good too, yet sadly in this harsh hot hatch world the lack of comfort and engine response didnât put it above the rest of the heap. It does have damn neat suspension tech though, which was a nice surprise, especially at this price segment.
EcaMobile SmallBlind Sport

âThisâŚis a bloated car but done in a good way, like it works, the shape. It has a lot more shape to it. I like the colour, maybe a bit too dark? I donât know if it works well with the car per se? But it is a nice colourâ
Blurb
Neat little engine, could use some more power up top, but it does have acceptable turbo lag, and is very sweet to drive mid-range, and this suspension setup doesnât break your back over every âwhy didnât the government fix this yetâ either. Sadly the car has an amazing love for letting its front end go. This is a great 6/10ths car, when driving swiftly, but not yet spiritedly, yet sadly when pushed hard this car falls apart.

Blurb
Under the hood is a sweet 2.0L inline 4, with VVL, however, for a VVL engine the power output is a bit disappointing at 167 hp. But hell, it is a comfortable car to live with and it does have an LSD proving its sporting ambitions. Yet sadly, just like its cartoony sporting looks, it is a cartoon of a FWD sportscar: the front just lets go. In this harsh environment this car, although making for an astounding daily, just didnât feel special enough to tickle my pickle.
Quark GT
Girlfriend judgement
âThis carâŚI dont know how to react to itâŚIt sort of looks sad? Like an evil car? Alien? This one has a face too, alien face, looks like a drawing of an alien to meâ
Blurb
This one was a difficult one to judge if it would make the cut or not. The engine has flat torque, and an output of 180 hp is good for a 1.6L, yet it is slightly laggy, but acceptable. Its size also made for good fuel economy of 5.9 L /100 km. The car also had on-rails-like handling, but due to the lack of an LSD it could understeer under power. As a full 5-seater is also is a great compact for established families. It is a great sensible choice, but with this harsh competition it just didnât make the cut for the heart.
Conte Ataque S 3 Door
Girlfriend judgement
âOooh, its like a beetle, like the actual bug beetleâ
Blurb
Looks like a beetle, has the heart of the Beatles. A nice mellow VVL 2.0L inline 4 gently carrying you through the rev range, but not with an incredible punch. It also is a spacious 3 door to daily, and even has an LSD. The handling howeverâŚundersteers at 8/10th, the LSD prevents this disease from worsening, but on the edge you can feel the front giving up. Overall this is a very nice sporty hatch/coupe, but not hot enough to stand up to the other spice.
2009 Cavallera Kunai C
Girlfriend judgement
âNormal looking, not sports enough, got a nice noseâ
Blurb
Unlike what my girlfriend thought of the looks, the engine sure is sports enough. 242 hp torn right out of that 2 litre block with a turbo, not the most torque, but the thing sure as hell loves to rev, although having slight lag problems. But then sadly it didnât work, oddly enough the car had some good weight to it, especially for its size, probably due to the AWD system, and in corners it fell apart due to understeer, which only got worse under power, less than with a FWD car, but its natural understeer comes through sadly enough.
Maesima Prova ST-R
Girlfriend judgement
âItâs the colour of tears, I like the shape of the car, and the colourâ
Blurb
Amazing looks, great engine, such great torque, but yet sadly I just couldnât let it go through to the showdown. Despite it all, its grave FWD sin caught it out, perhaps even the biggest sinner of them all: the unholy understeer of death. Still regardless, a great muscle hatch, which has 5 full seats. A possibly great choice if you donât like the bendies, but I do, so yeah sorry but no thanks.
RCM Mattawa Mosport
Girlfriend judgement
âcarâŚvery smooth, I like the wheels, it looks like it glows. I actually really like this one, orange is a nice colour, when used in the right way.â
Blurb
My gf is a chav confirmed, but holy mother of torque, 293 Nm out of a 2 litre? This engine may âonlyâ rev to 6400 rpm, but it sure packs a punch before doing so, 200 horseys. The car is comfortable too, makes a great daily, but it lacks an LSD. The car does handle quite well though, good olâ âon railsâ handling, but the inner front tyre can struggle for grip on a corner exit. Another one that just didnât make the cut.
5-Door KR-R
Girlfriend judgement
âInteresting, it looks like a nighttime sort of carâ
Blurb
What a neat looking car, it does have a bit of turbo lag though, and is quite heavy for its size, perhaps due to the 3 full seats being crammed into its small back and the car being stuffed full of advanced safety tech, yet strangely enough with all its safety tech it doesnât have stability control. Also something perfectly daily-able, but despite its LSD it too, loves understeer.

JHW Sparrow GT
Girlfriend judgement
âLooks like an everyday car, just really happy. Hiii! Iâm the best car in the world! How are ya?â
Blurb
Has a neat little engine for not having VVL, but sadly another victim to the horrible understeet-it is disease. It is amazingly light for a 5 seater too, and it got DCT and a geared LSD! Sadly another one that just didnât make the cut in the end.
FM Street GTi
Girlfriend judgement
âThis is a quite unique looking car, in an unusual colour, and shape, in a good way, I like itâ
Blurb
It sure is unique looking, quite damn powerful for a 1.2L too, with 146 hp, sadly with almost race engine like turbo lag. It is super comfortable too, although it rolls a fair bit under hard cornering, and understeer, it understeers damn hard too. Yet, with premium interior, it is an amazing vehicle to drive to work, but it too, doesnât even have traction control, with with huge turbo lag is a recipe for disaster in bad weather. In the end its understeer and turbo lag made it not get through the cut.
Famal Avance GTi
Girlfriend judgement
âShiny~, like the crab in Moana, I like itâ
Blurb
This oneâs engine is rather special, the lowest turbo lag so far of all turbocharged engines, making 180 hp out of a 2.0L, which is rather darn good considering the low amount of lag. But, its behavior is rather odd, until 4500 rpm it is a very rev happy creature, to then turn into a donkey that doesnât want to go further down the rev range. Makes for a torque-y feel, but the sudden transition is rather odd. It is also a quite economical car with 5.9L/100 km, and perfectly liveable. Yet sadly, its mediocre LSD and understeery behavior make the car fall apart when pushed hard.
So yes, the following peopleâs entries will go through to the showdown:
