Take out the Ariel Atom and plane films, and the show would be good.

Much better than the rest of the season. That noise from the Focus RS is simply awesome.

Pretty boring ep to end the series. The old cars shootout was alright. The Honda Insight test was actually very good. The Focus RS test was also good. But the rest was just boring. 6/10.

The Focus RS test gave an otherwise average episode extra points in my book. I'd been waiting to see a proper review of that car instead of all the teasers that have been trickling out.

I wonder how much torque is cut in order to keep the car driveable? 0-100 km/h in 5,9 is a pretty lousy time with that much power.

A tolerable episode and better than most this season. Tim seemed a little more subdued and actually completed the Speed Camera Detector segment without irritating me. I like the shootout segments, whoever is doing them ... 2 cars, one driver and an objective measurement, this was no exception. Johnny's Insight review was satisfactory and completeing it with a comparo against a diesel enabled a relavent real world conclusion .... I like conclusions. The Focus RS review was good, although a little short. The Charlie Boorman bit was only tolerable because of the sound track provided by the Atom. Tiff in an aircraft ... meh.

Have to say that this season was terrible. Most of the segments were so boring that I probably watched less than half of the episodes in full. Baby car seats? ATVs? Selling scrap car parts? More celebrity garbage?
Not even Jonny could save some of those segments and he's easily the best presenter. This will likely be the last season of FG I download.
