Re: Fifth Gear

I watch it occasionally only when Top Gear isn't around.

Can't seem to place a finger on all 3 choices... I'll have to pass.

Agreed!

Yes i watch it..

The presenters are good (Tiff's Enthusiasm is entertaining to watch) but i've always disliked the format (now and then)

So i need the option: "It's alright and i watch it occassionally"

I wonder who does the formats. They always seem to play second fiddle to Top Gear, in terms of the entertainment department. Now, if they were to work that out, their devoted presenters (who give more practical advice than do TG's presenters) will certainly give them an upper-hand over TG.

Yeah, that's true, Fifth Gear's approach at reviewing vehicles is a much more pratical than Top Gear's, more realistic. They often to review vehicles which are "common" but no less great, sadly i would want to see those vehicles reviewed on Top Gear. Top Gear is just so entertaing to watch, i don't feel the same for Fifth Gear

However, i wouldn't mind seeing Top Gear reviewing a few cheaper vehicles on the show.

Fifth Gear is a documentary.

Top Gear is a show.

Re: Fifth Gear

Im done with fifth gear from this season because of the new format which i really dont like

Re: Fifth Gear

Tiff's a better driver than anyone in the Top Gear show combined...minus maybe the Stig..

I like 5th Gear. Less BS.
