Top Gear or 5th Gear?

ok! which do you all prefer, top gear or fifth gear? i prefer top gear by miles! the more i watch fifth gear the more i hate it....everything fifth gear do is some sort of copy of top gear...like the fastest laps, yet the fifth gear fastest laps are retarded, if any of you saw yesterdays they managed to make a CLS55 and some Jaguar go slower than a honda civic and a ford focus on the lap time board...***!!!!!......it was tiff needell who thinks he is like the best lol.....yet on every corner he was just like trying to power slide the CLS and jaguar and make them go sideways....and then i dont know if any of you remember the top gear where clarkson drove an slk55 and a boxster around an army base and people pretended to shoot at him......fifth gear a couple of weeks ago.......guess what, an aston martin and jason plato driving around a track with people pretending to shoot at him.........how original!!!!! then jason plato calls night vision in the s class a "gimmick" because he does not know it does not work when stationary????????? *** wow i hate the program now for all them reasons...i could go on for ever.....i just was wondering though what everyone else thought of the two shows!!

Re: Top Gear or 5th Gear?

I like Top Gear way better because of the ore informative reviews, better filming and consistant lap times. I like 5th gear better because Tiff doesnt complain about every car he gets in. Clarkson is kind of whiney. but yea Top gear over 5th gear any day.

Re: Top Gear or 5th Gear?

I actually find 5th gear more informative, it may be boring, but atleast it gets you to the point. I kinda dislike JC's tastless humour. And their reviews, as much as i love all the drama in their reviews, they just dont say much. New RS4 video?? was a blast !! but didnt inform me much.

Re: Top Gear or 5th Gear?

Top Gear is more fun but Tiff is a better driver than Jeremy. Also Tiff appreciate BMW more than Jeremy. That's a big plus

Re: Top Gear or 5th Gear?

I suppose Top Gear's the better package. I think Tiff is a great guy and fun to watch and whenever the delectable Miss Butler-Henderson opens her mouth the hairs on the back of my neck rise up... but Jason Plato is not the most radiant personality. I also think that Fifth Gear should try to be a bit more original.

omg dont even mention vicky butler henderson the silly ho!! she is so annoying! do you all remember quentin wilson from top gear like 5 years ago! he loved mercedes!! lol!

the only thing i have against top gear is all them like train / plane / boat races they did were a fix yet each time they tried to say it was not....
and......clarkson is a hypocrit kind of (not that i mind) - if you watch the CLS55 review from top gear he says he wouldnt but as it is a mercedes and they have quality problems....(yet the CLS is built rather well....)
but........his last 2 cars......SL55 AMG and now a SLK55 AMG? ***....if they have quality problems then why did he buy them? lol but appart from that yea top gear rules!!

Re: Top Gear or 5th Gear?

I like 5th Gear but I LOVE top gear, especially JC's sarcasm. Personally I have no problem with him bitching about every car he sits in, that how it should be. There is hardly any car that is perfect and it is good of him to point out both the negative and the positive sides of the car. Off course he does a lot of ass talk but that just makes the show a bit more to see. On top of that I love the way Top gear films the car, the lightning, angles and scenery that they film in are perfect. Top Gear is with out a doubt a fantastic show. Still people should be ware of the fact that JC ia human just like me and has opinions so not every thing he says about a specific car is law.

Re: Top Gear or 5th Gear?

Sure, TG videos have more quality in them as in lighting, angle and such. But I feel JC emphasises on his opinion more than Tiff. I dunno. thats just me. and i also feel JC is more biased than tiff.

oh and tiff burns rubber

EDIT: BTW Plato is not that bad. I know hes boring, but I kinda like it when him and tiff race. hes not a bad driver after all.

I remember going to British Touring Cup Championship this year and he was impressive nonetheless

Re: Top Gear or 5th Gear?

Yeah JC does spit out a lot of his own opinions but he also does give alot of facts and it's up to the viewer to separate the opinions from the facts.
