The star in a car bit is the worst bit, I hope they ditch it.

i thought it was ok!
do they ever review a car anyway, it's always ends up how quick can it go round the track, not how much shopping you can get in the boot, or the 60/40 rear seat split!
we all make our minds up about spending our money, dont and wont buy one on the strength of someone elses view
i was entertained, but i may just be easy to please

IT'S ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!!!

If you want serious car reviews, look elsewhere.

Yet again people who know they are going to moan about the show, watch it purely to give them the opportunity to moan.

Victor Meldrew has **** all on some folks.

I knew big spoilers just slowed you down. It took a factual car programme to prove it though

It wasn't great this week I must admit, but I do usually enjoy it for what it is.

2 points there dude...

1. Could have been a sports cat...
2. The car was on private property and not driven on public roads so a de-cat woudl be legal - i.e. off road

Suprised personally they didn't stick a turbo on it...

I stand by what I said - but i'm sure next week will be back to it's normal self.
Guest was a ****, no decent cars on it and Hamster never once bumped into the back of any of Mays cars - hence most disappointed

If you want reviews, watch Fifth Gear. You won't be entertained and you won't gain any real knowledge - just that programmes Jon Bentley produces are lame (he also produced Top Gear before it was good).

I want Top Gear reviews like THIS ONE (but not in German). S11e2 was more like it with Scoob vs Evo, RS6 and CLK Black, all in one episode. I enjoy the cocking, but I want the car stuff too. They used to do it, so why not now ? I enjoy it, I want to continue to enjoy it, but they're spoiling it and I don't like that.
