Just about another average Top Gear road test..

Quote:

The Top Gear boys are deeply offended by a fan letter claiming that they don't review cars properly anymore. To compensate, Jeremy Clarkson takes the new Ford Fiesta for an extraordinary road test..

THIS is why I love watching this show!

Good try, still funny, but not new.

Further to the amusement: It is my opinion that ALL raod tests should be done in a similar fashion.

I can't believe someone approved the use of that mall for this "test".

Just look at the damage caused never mind all those skid marks that will take forever to remove from the tile.

Anyway, it makes me want a Fiesta even more. It's so ridiculous that Ford has left most of their great cars for everyone but their OWN market. If America had gotten the European market Ford's for the last 10 years, Ford would be in much better shape (even though they've really bounced back this past year despite the recession). Point is, they really shot themselves in the foot in misreading Americans tastes. That's why we buy foreign cars.
