Re: SBS TopGear on now!!! MKV, Vauxhall and Focus review... (GizmoGTI)

saw it, they liked the focus...
the review doesnt take into account the flimsy backboard that groceries will kill in no time flat, and bolts that were already rusting..or maybe the focus is a lot better thant he fiesta.
 
It wasn't a real comparison. They had the Golf and Astra along more for comparative footage rather than actual driving. Their overall view was the Focus has noticably sharper steering and and handling than either the Astra or Golf, and being quite a bit cheaper (in the UK anyway) is excellent value. Essentially it's as good as the old Focus, but with better quality, interior space and ride comfort.
The Focus they were driving was a diesel.
 
Re: (njm)

I believe the Astra and Golf were diesel also. Basically they liked the Focus but said it had boring looks. There was also a C4 in the studio which had a very brief apperance and they said it looked great.
Was it me or did they cut and paste different episodes together because i think i've seen the Enzo episode and remember it being different?

YES. Thats why I havent watched the show.
I recon that they are cutting/pasteing episodes so it is up to date with what Australia is up to in the world scene.
Cant wait till I got the money to move somewhere that things are up to date, unlike in Aus....

but no the stig did not run the veyron around the track.

sirhobbit - What I want 2 know, is did the Veyron cane the Enzo around the track ?
The power tells me it should but the weight tells a different story. Did the STIG drive it ?

No, they couldn't get the Veyron to be tested by the Stig. In fact the one they had in the studio was a hot air balloon that looked like a Veyron and no, I am not joking either.

It's not a ballon, Hammond leans on it at one stage!
