Again, doesn´t sound too interesting but TG always knows how to make it exciting. Last episode was great aswell! Esp. the M5 Touring vs E63 T comparison

Thumbs down

The DBS feature was boring IMO. Jeremy should've driven it on the road, if he thinks it's so unfit for the track. Chris Harris's review of this car was a lot more interesting and to the point.

The underwater test was hilarious though... and nice drift by Jeremy in the Rover on the Mira skid-pad!

what an.... unorganized episode

felt more like they glued it all together about 2 min before the episode actually aired

features were fine, but it just felt like a boring episode compared to the other ones

is it just me or have top gear forgotten how to review a car? funny enough only may actually explains a car properly (when given the chance)...clarkson always goes on about shit u can't engineer into a car like 'passion', 'soul', being a thoroughbred and all that shit and it seriously ticks me off...and then they do all these 1 in a million races... who in the hell here is going to race a man strapped with a rocket to his back?, it might be the most entertaining car show, but there are other ppl who do a much better job in reviewing cars

just watched the BL challenge over lunch break, LMAO - one of the funniest episodes ever.

AM review wasn't that good, some action on the runway, but me loving the AM's didn't want to listen to some of the truth JC was saying :bah:

The Aston Martin bit was a bit boring honestly. How about some more power slides? I guess I felt like it was missing some of the Top Gear Penache and seemed like it was just thrown together at random.

The british leyland bit was good but predictable. Still I wished theyd taken that nissan through all the tests with the Brits. The parking break bit was hilarious as was Jermey's doors falling off. Not typical car fare but probably the best bit of the show.

The star in the reasonably priced car is startng to pique my interest. It seems weird that just like last season suddenly in the second half all the drivers are quicker, even people who have never been on the track.

I must have missed the part about the beach buggy?
