Well to be fair, they could bamboozle you with figures, and specs, but to be fair, you can find that info anywhere...
What you really get from top gear, is just honest opinion... those tests... ok, so some are silly, but you cant say that you have no idea about the cars that they are featuring... end of the day top gear is an entertainment program, they dont want it to be boring, they want it to be lively and exciting, thats just what everyone wants...
fith gear... yeah, I just dont rate them at all... i dont think that their info is that informative, i think that their tests are mostly flawed (i did really like the feature on petrol unleaded vs v-power vs BP...) otherwise, their tests are misleading...
