Matt let blanc is actually pretty good and I think he is going to grow on people. Not a bad driver either..

I enjoyed last night also.

I think it's just a bit of clever marketing - stick on a poor first show and its big news with everyone saying how rubbish it was, everyone then tunes in for the second to see what the fuss is about and they broadcast something much, much better.

Hopefully we will see Sabine and Harris in the next episode.

Not that clever, viewing figures dropped a couple of million.

Yes it was a better episode, but still needs improvement. They drove three expensive, or possibly not, off-roaders that were possibly good off road, possibly not, that were possibly good on road, but again possibly not, that had engines, and one of them had a button, that Eddie forgot to use. At the end of it Chris possibly preferred the Jag, Eddie possibly preferred the Merc, and Matt possibly preferred the Porsche. Or possibly not.

Well viewing figures say if they were playing a fishing game it hasn't worked.

Crap or not you all still watch it.winge about it then watch the next episode so the BBC win.

I thought the last few series with the three clowns were utter childish crap and this is slightly better.

I thought it was pretty good, particularly the McLaren feature. Also the SUV feature/race was pretty good too without it like watching the automotive equivalent of Last of the Summer Wine. I think the show will get better as time goes on as the presenters and the new production crew get more acquainted with the Topgear viewers.

It was good to see Jenson having some fun with the McLaren. They still need to make it their own rather than the old TG with new faces

I think the new moto cross track is much more entertaining and a laugh as well, not a bad car either

It does seem to be improving somewhat. Last night's was certainly more entertaining than the 0-0 draw in the footy.

I really like it.
Chris Evans is less shouty,matt is funny and gets better week by week.
Sabine is a great driver but my favourites are Chris Harris and the other guy who drove the tesla.

They need to bin that star in car rubbish but same could be said of old top gear.

People just don't like change but in my opinion this is for the better.
A good range of presenters and not the three stooges regurgitating the same crap.

If they just sacked off Chris Evans I'd agree.

Chris Harris is actually really entertaining.

So I'd sabine and Matt. Which really surprised me... Eddie Jordan is somewhat annoying though.

I think the cliché race this week was a bit naff mind

He's a lot less shouty now thank God.
Chris Harris is my favourite so far.

It's obvious thought that one of his main jobs on the show is to serve as the butt of everyone else's jokes, and where that's concerned, he fits the part pretty well.

Chris is ok, and I'm warming to Matt. Eddie is Eddie. Not sure about the Geezer in the Tesla.
Chris Harris is the Future
Sabine.............. send her straight back to the ring! Does my box in!

Looks like LeBlanc has given BBC an ultimatum - Either Evans goes or he goes.
Absolutely no chemistry between them .

Much better tonight. Chris Harris is without doubt the best presenter.

Love the M2. Audi looked pants lol! I'd be gutted if I'd spent 40k on a fast Audi that looked like a 1.9tdi Audi

Oi nothing wrong with a diesel vag. Rest is spot on Chris Harris is quickly becoming the best presenter after matt.

The beeb would do well to dump Evans and keep this two in a leading role.

I have just realised the issue with new top gear presenters.

You used to get the impression the three stooges really were friends outside the show.
I can't see that with Evans. I doubt even his mum likes him
