How can you judge a programme you've fast forwarded through?
My girlfriend does this with films, and then says they were rubbish or that she didn't fully understand the plot. Really? You don't say?!
Because it was all about Japan and Japanese cars and the country and cars, in general, do nothing for me, just not interested in any way, that's my opinion, sorry for having it.
The Fukushima part I did find extremely interesting however, having recently had an extended visit to Pripyat, and the surrounding area near Chernobyl, was good to compare the two, would love to go to the Fukushima area one day soon, to compare in person.

Background scenery is good tonight.

Dodge Demon section was epic. That Hyundai i30n looks like a great car too.

Decent episode but last weeks made me realise how much weaker this is with SIARPC. Seemed like that section completely ruined the flow of three good features.

Last weeks wasn't much for me, bar the epic Porsche the Japanese stuff just doesn't push my buttons.
Was expecting this weeks to be similarly meh but pleasantly surprised, siarpc needs to go.

Good episode. Harris and Leblanc have what feels like some genuine on screen chemistry developing (no homo). 2CV segment was amusing
Thought the same. Really enjoy watching the two of them.

Awesome 2CV segment, in a generally very good episode.
Chris did an excellent video on driving his 2CV on modern roads back in his internet days. Shame the video got taken down.

I did not know this. I went looking for the video just now on his channel; you're right, can't find it. Seems that because it was when he was with /DRIVE, it's now premium /DRIVE+ content. Best I've got is the shorter version from the unpaid channel.
The 2cv was not original though, wasn't that on fifth or top gear, they did something with not spilling beer or water too.
Is Sabine out of it now, and for that matter has the BBC found no femail presenter eg VBH or Jodie Kidd (her with Quentin Wilson wasn't bad)

Decent ep, it’s now siarfc guys but yeah it needs to go imo.
Sabine is in next weeks ep.
Rory still needs to go imo, Chris and Matt are miles and miles ahead in on screen chemistry and just being at ease.
It likely doesn’t help that he always seems to do his features alone and is always disagreeing with the other two, producers trying to make us dislike him or do they think he clicks with the younger generation?

I don't mind Rory. The Matt and Chris double act does work though.
Found the /Drive Chris 2CV video after a google search : http://videos.sapo.pt/84zjVpwOeVPfmsQfiuIP

I could not buy a fast and expensive Kia or Hyundai - sacrifice everything for speed, which for most of the time you can’t use on the road, no thanks
Second time I've thought that about the Stinger - it isn't an unattractive car but then you hear the price and its like you what? without like a Merc badge on it it needs to be £10K cheaper.

With a bit of luck they'll be a performance bargain in a couple of years time.

7 year transferable warranty? What's not to like in 3-4 years time?
Soldato
Indeed.
Kia even took the Optima racing in the USA couple years ago. Made it into the iRacing sim and it's a challenging beastie!

The 2CV segment was very well done and enjoyable, it seems odd that they have that sort of chemistry when on the filmed segments but in the studio it still feels forced.
