1989 Supra Turbo, 2002 BMW M5
So I don't own a car new enough for new TG to have reviewed it but after a bit of youtube trawling managed to find it for at least my BMW.

old top gear - e39 M5 tiff needell

A very flattering review. A SICK powerslide at the start by the Tiff, and that 360 spin he pulled off in that rain. Pretty impressive stuff.

I also have a Mark 3 supra but couldn't find that.

So, if the mood takes you, try some youtube trawling and post the results.





ps - if this has been done Im reaaally sorry.
 
Errr... well the closest I can get [in TopGear] is 2:50 into this clip... :D

Nice. An astra diesel. I have to say that car was way way faster than I expected. One of my favorite top gear challenges. Especially stigs (and JCs!) aweseme driving against the Bodeceas.

Fifth Gear, full test of the 320d SE, really close to the 320 petrol SE we have.

Top Gear, albeit a self driving one!
 
BMW 130i

VW MKV GTI
 
Daihatsu, do you have the mps? That sounds badass. 4wd!

Cant argue with the 3 series, great car. This thread has already been interesting for me at least watching those videos.
 
TG and FG have an annoying habit of "reviewing" cars nobody buys.

No video for Rover 45
 
I have onwed a Jeep TJ I don't think they liked it much, a Pontiac G6 I didn't like it much, a Mazdaspeed Miata never reviwed and a nissan sentra, never reviewed. and none of these were ever sold in britain so I wasn't counting on it.
 
Loved that rover video. It brought back memories. Surprised they sold that car in Portugal...

Yo Fiorano, both our cars are reviewed here :p. This is from one of Clarkson's DVDs; might've been Head to Head.
 
Read a lot old reviews before bought my car and yes, Hammond was a little help.

I also found old TG with G60 version (VR6 was on market 4 years later).

I know Top Gear hasn't, although they have made fun of it on the cool wall once which is nearly as good. I'm not sure about Fifth Gear. It isn't terribly easy to find videos from 2002.

I bought a new 2008 Audi TT 2l T, that was reviewed when they did the 3 car review,

FG also on occasion reviews a common car or a people carrier but they spend most of their time in supercars, hypercars, trackcars made in sheds and various GTI-editions (which make up perhaps 1/20th of total production). TG no longer do consumer advice as they demonstrated with their "sensible" reviews.

This is a great thread. Thanks to labcoatguy for that vid. Never saw it. My love for the Tiff just gets greater. Though Jeremy did put the M5 in the number 10 spot on his 100 best cars dvd so it doesnt all make sense...............

Also, Ive also wanted to drive a corrado. Do they all have front drive? The car sounds so great so front drive almost sounds like it would spoil it.

Yep, only FWD. You have to remember that it has many parts in common with Passat (even then new was overpriced). But it goes quite nice for a car of that time.
 
Not my specific car (4 door), but it was named Top Gear Car of the Year :)
