For those that aren't top gear fans, that is actually a really positive review - though they can never really admit it. hehe
Personally I would of made fun of the watermellon cresent-shaped smiley face on the front of the gen2s.
the torque steer in the gen II is great!
if i wanted a car that remained flat with no character i would go back to the ford wagon...
i want a car to DRIVE not to sit back and be bored in.
DRIVE means to fight with the wheel and feel all of the uneven road surfaces and muscle a car into a corner despite a bit of understeer. these things are the things that make a hot hatch what is is....
Dear Mr Hammond,
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yours sincerely,
Kaz.

Pitty Hammond wont be at TG in Sydney.... I could have thrown some "fruity chuckle" his way...
He's a cutie leave him alone
one thing ive learnt after watching the first 5.5 seasons of top gear (uk) they only love 3 cars; Ferrari, Aston martin and Jaguar everything else is more or less bagged out.
I think that if you've driven that many awesome cars over so many years and you get in something like lets say "a Mazda" which is less than a quarter of the price of the above three makes....OF COURSE ITS GOING TO BE AVERAGE COMPARED TO THEM.....
I dont understand why you guys seem to think that he should like our cars...If he doesnt like it...WHO FKING CARES...id rather an honest opinion rather than him bullshitting like the rest of world about everything.......
We love em!!! isnt that what matters?????
Find a speedbump and GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!
....though saying that when the reviewed the Holden monaro he did like it ...in a crude agricultural way... as for our cars who give a FK what they think we think their ants pants and enjoy them
"THE PATH OF THE GTI-R IS BESET WITH PERIL BY THE INJUSTICES OF THE SPEED CAMERA AND THE TYRANNY OF OTHER DRIVERS. BLESSED IS HE WHO OVERTAKES THE EVO & STI THROUGH THE VALLEY OF HAIRPIN TURNS, FOR HE IS TRULY HIS CAR'S TUNER AND THE FINDER OF LOST HORSEPOWER. . . AND WE SHALT STRIKE DOWN WITH GREAT BOOST AND FURIOUS ACCELERATION ON WHOEVER DOTH ATTEMPT TO OBSTRUCT OR DELAY OUR OVERTAKING. . .BMW M3 Evo Coming to the R stable soon. . .
Im off to see top gear next month too
