Not watched this yet but Jason Plato loved it last year in the GT86 and Tiff loved the BRZ doing a run through the Isle of Man I think it was.......though they did say it needed a lil more umph!

Love how they didn't even bother mentioning that Vicky kept on knocking the cones over.....that's what you get for cheating :32 (27):

Ended up saying if you're thinking of buying a hot hatch, don't. buy a GT86 instead,They did 3 comparison testsAgility: time trial through cones, 3 goes, 2-1 to the 86Drift angle: Even using the handbrake all the Megane got was 38, GT86 managed 48 just with a Scandy flickTimed Lap : Megane 1:30 GT86 1:32 (need a track without any straights:D)You could tell by the grins involved when driving on the track which one they really enjoyedAlec

Finally seen the first two episodes on you tube. Actually really good. I so much prefer this over Top Gear. Enjoyed the test against the Megane too, though my you tube clip cut off just before the GT completed it's lap!

Don't know if any of you watched Episode 4 the other night but awesome episode as it had the new Vanquish in it.....god do I want a Vanquish.....loved the old one, love the new one even more and while watching it, I had a revelation, the way Jason was describing the car, the Vanquish is a bigger and more expensive version of the GT86! An amazing grand tourer that has a nice linear torque curve that needs to be rev'd hard in order to get the most out of it, the back end feels very light and twitchy but once you get used to it, you know what's going to happen and can control it very easily......just like a GT86 :32 (19):
