Leaving the Twingo out on the first test was a huge mistake. It would annihilate them on the slalom.
Sierra Cosworth = 10.
Loved 190E Cosworth and Sierra Cosworth! Such awesome cars. I wish I could own one one day.
I think the 500's win was deserved, don't like the twingo, but that's just a personal thing I guess (nothing vs Renault, love the clio) Liked the Ralliart too, it looks like a nice car... Now just add AWD and another 100HP
Would like to see Caparo T1 vs that Tramontana R, the R is more practical and user friendly I guess, but still has lots of power.
I never would have thought an episode of FG could be this enjoyable. No stunts or safety bits that break the flow really does wonders.
Cosworth cars, Formula Ford and Tramontana segments were pretty good, the 4 hot hatchlings segment close to great. I even liked the celebrity segment, which usually is my least favourite.
The only segment that wasn't to my liking was car sharing, but that passed by rather quickly.
Glad to see my crush on the Suzuki Swift Sport isn't as odd as I thought.
Good episode but why in the world didn't they give the Tramontana to Tiff. All we got was Tom saying that it was fast. We know that it's fast. Even Plato would have been better.
The Sierrra Cosworth vs 190E and the Tramontana R reviews are good. The hot hatchlings is not so much though. Why can't they run all the cars through all the tests then come to a conclusion, there are only 4 cars, they should have enough time to film all of them doing those few tests.
I don't know about this episode. It was just another same old episode. Nothing spectacular for a season finale.
I liked the F1 part, surprised me. I thought he would be spinning off the track.
I really enjoyed this much the best episode I have seen in many a long time. There was only one Brit centric thing - the car share stuff which I was interested in as I have to go up to London sometimes. Not cost effective for me yet but I may have to change jobs so who knows?
9/10
Oh and Johnny is really really good presenter - quirky but understandable.
I gave it a 10/10. I rarely ever do that but I had to! Fantastic episode and I found myself so much more focused and interested at the cars than on Top Gear. Fifth Gear is just getting started with new ideas were Top Gear is running out it seems.
Love the Sierra Cosworth. Brilliant car. The hot hatchling test was surprisingly fun and useful and the 500 Abarth is a great little car. The new Prius bit was good too. The car share bit was good too. My favorite part though was the F1 car drive segment. I would have liked have seen Jason drive a whole lap but otherwise it was excellent.
Big ups to the Sierra owner! Good lad.
Good end to a solid series.
Cosworth cars really made me smile and for some reason, the hot hatchlings made me want a Swift. There was no part of this week's show I didn't enjoy. Even the Prius bit was interesting, though I still definitely wouldn't want one of those...
To sum up series 16... by Jove, I think they've got it!
Merc 190e Cozzy...
Building car in a shorttime...
500 Abarth...
Driving a F1 Car...
All seems fimilar for some reason.

Really good ep - easy 9 from me.
Loved the 190E and Sierra Cosworths, two of my fav cars. They should have hunted down an 190E Evo II though, would have been a much closer race.
Tim made the dull interesting, as usual... nice.
Tom's Focus-engined open-wheeler was a little boring until he got into the car and made a few priceless quotes... I love his helmet too.
Good to see Johnny doing more than just his usual cheap car thing with Tiff... I really like the Suzuki Swift... sounds like they should do a turbo version though! Pity he forgot to mention in the Prius review though, that if you buy, drive or stand near one, you'll look like a total f*cktard and people will not only hate you, they'll secretly want to kill you.
F1 bit - a tad TGesque, though I have to say, how come that chef was able to drive one without getting into half the bother Hamster did? No stalls, no tyre lockups, no spins.
The only segment that didn't really cut it was that F1 looking car called the T-spanish wind-somethingorother. Obviously they were on public roads but you just didn't any sense of its power or speed... they really should have taken it to a track.
btw, why is the poll upside down? The rating stars in the episode link seem to be wrong as a result..
EDIT: quite a solid episode, good choice of segments. The supercar, which name I can't remember, was awesome!

People who ask banal questions like 'What was the song (Beat's Got a Hold on Me) or something during the cook+F1 segment' should be shot, but anyway, what was that song.
Pretty cool ep. Well done Fifth Gear.
Would have liked to see the Spanish jobbie cop a hiding though.
Cheers
wooo for colt ralliart!
