Meant as constructive feedback:
1) Use specialist timing gear
2) Have all cars do all tests instead of subjectively eliminating
3) When setting laptimes, same driver please

I am a massive car guy and although I like the mix of presenters and what they all say is fine. The camera work is off putting with all the focusing tricks and I hate the way you eleminate cars as you go. If the Jag was the best at handling it doesn't even get a chance and thus none of this info could help a buying decision

[Firkinnel]

I would prefer a scoring system rather than an elimination.

[rutwikgosavi]

I think they were a bit harsh on the Mazda 3

"Dampening" is the act of making something wet.
"Damping" is the act of controlling or reducing the motion of an object. Shock absorbers are dampers, not "dampeners"... unless they're leaking.

Sooo they eliminate the best drivers car before actually doing any spirited driving? Other than a straight line drag, where naturally the cheapest possible Cayman they could find was slower than the top spec Z4 and TT? Makes sense, lads, good job.

The first car I saw Vicki review was the Ferrari 360 CS when I was in college. She achieved dream girl status then. 20 years later…there’s still something about her. I respect her reviews but there’s that little extra for me

[ravim]

Vicki, fyi, Elon Musk is not the founder of Tesla. At 16.03 mins.

I really miss fifth gear
Jason Plato. Tiff needel and vicky were the best presenters

[HrleyBoy]

They do like to mess with the numbers, how did we get from 3 tenths to half a second slower for the Jag, and it all rubbish anyway as it's down to the accuracy of the button press and observation of the finish line, use timing lights or don't bother as it's meaningless.

[rossvidoni]

Why are you eliminating cars from various tests? I appreciate your subjective opinions and cell phone telemetry but all of the cars should have completed each test. Me thinks the Cayman was kept out of the track test for a reason.

[adamthompson]

Please let Jason Plato know much love from australia and he was awesome to watch in the btcc and great sit down on the late brake show with Johnny smith.

[mrpetit]

In convertable trim, the TR-RS is quite a bit heavier.
So if that was the model compared to the Z4, the outcome might have been different.

[DrBobtheblob]

I don't think I have seen another car review where the presenters looked more gutted with the outcome of their tests.

[kaga]

If Z4 is to be compared you have to take the soft top competitors

[i_forgot_my_name]

It still amazes me that a show like fifth gear can't afford a proper timing system. My kids BMX bike racing team has a portable timing system for any track we go to that tells the coach every kids time.

[thhghlander]

Many thanks for the feature packed episode :) Keep it up peeps!

[shrink]

They got rid of the porsche because it was too noisy and a bit firm on the road! It's a sports car FFS. If you want a sofa with wheels, go buy a GT or a saloon car. We all know fine well the porsche would have destroyed them all on a twisty road and round a track. They ultimately ended up with the worst two cars. The audi being the ugliest and the BMW being the dullest fattest and heaviest. Utter farce of a test.

[chrisatthey]

Great programe great team, much better than that 'celeb' car show on the beeb !

[Scalbow]

More air time on a Mazda 3 than an f type 🥱
