DoogyRev Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 If I had than much money, I don't think it would be top of the shopping list. looks kinda funny also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Got slated on 5th Gear by Tiff and Plato 10th of a second lap slower than a more expensive car? Hardly slated. I'd rather have this and buy a GT-R with the change (for when I want to drive fast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greekman Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Top gear on the other hand rate the mc higher than the 458. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Their slating was mostly that you couldnt power slide it round a corner at 100mph+ so hardly something that most of us would be doing anyway.... If I had a car like that I dont think I would be thrashing it round a track, I would be usuing it as a weekend luxury and the odd road trip I thought it looked ok, especially the interior which was very very nice Comparing it to the Ferarri which Plato said was the best car he had ever driven meant it got a bit of a hard time I guess...

Dead right. EVO had about a 10 page review comparing the car on a number of levels and still preferred the Ferrari. The content of Fifth Gear review was a load of rubbish in my opinion.

Ekona Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 TG and 5thG are hardly cutting edge motoring journalism and I wouldn't trust either as far as I can throw them. If it's in depth analysis you want then you will be hard-pushed to find a better magazine than CAR, those guys are not only brilliant writers but they look at the cars from all angles, rather than just the core driving experience that EVO aim for. That said, EVO is miles better under Trott than it was under Metcalfe in the later years, definitely improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially having Richard Meaden back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
