9/10 FG rating. It would be a 4/10 on the TG scale. Not a bad ep, infact its one of the better ones the last few series. That RS6 is pure automotive PORN. The GTR review felt a bit "closed" and "strained". I get the feeling when TG reviews it and the RS6 those reviews will be brilliant. The camper segment was interesting...but a bit too long.
 
that GTR review was a rubbish, Tiff should have done the reviw for GTR.
funny how Jason said its like a playstation and showed the G meter(jason it has already been done by JC with old skyline). and they didnt show the interior in detail.
rubbish

As others already said: every segment was good, but not great.
I confess I was really hoping the Fiat 500 to win the comparison :).
My only nitpicks: the GT-R and the RS6 reviews were a little pointless. There was nothing new in it!
On a side note, the R33 is my favorite "Skyline".

yes that(R33) is a serious one.
 
the reason for the GT-R review being so short etc was because it was the exact same car they had on CAR Magazine. That was somebodies private car and even the track was the same i think, so they didnt have much room for a longer review i guess.

On the other hand AUTOCAR had a really good review comparing it with the GT3 and M3, but i dont know if that was shot in the UK at all.
 
solid ep, the best in this series in my view, especially because there were interesting cars --> GT-R, RS6, fiat 500 even the 40-grand camper vans were cool. I'd never buy the mini-one, it looked so heavy and underpowered.
I was surprised that the Renault coped pretty well when hitting a tree at 55 mph, I mean there aren't many chances you're going to hit a tree at that speed but it was interesting to watch

13x06 has had the very best Intro ever done by Fifth Gear. No dumb Introduction whilst sitting inside ACE's!

:lol: haha good point.

Yeah the GT-R section was a bit short, or at least the 5 mins wasn't used as effectively as I thought it could be. I mean it's the first TV test. We want to know a lot of details about the car that we can't possibly find out by looking at pictures and reading press releases (i.e. how's the driving position, the ride [was somewhat mentioned], steering feel etc). He did briefly mentioned the screen and the G-meter lol.
