      I think he read from a script which is on the NRMA website. Sorry I posted before I had a look myself, got too excited.

        Motor magazine awarded it ahead of RS Clio Balboni 200 and the Citroen DS3 a few months back, am hanging out for another comparo with it though because when they did the hot lap around Winton (could have been wakefield, it was one of the "W" tracks ) the rain had just started whereas the other 2 had dry laps...

          Mate check the latest Wheels, 11 car hot hatch shoot out. R, Golf GTI and Polo GTI are all in it. It's the March issue with the MP4 12C on the front cover. Understandably though, with a WRX, focus RS and the R in the field, the PoG didn't receive enough attention for me to justify the $8.95 I paid. Again I was overexcited.

                    That was possibly one of the worst reviews i've ever seen. He just read out the fact sheet and then made up a rating out of 5 stars.

                      These guys do the best car reviews. EVO pales in comparison.

                        You're not serious. TGs are great entertainers, no doubt, but I would not take any advice from them EVO and Chris Harris in particular are the car reviewing benchmark.

                          Seriously serious. Chris Harris... well, he's a passenger.

                            What benchmark certainly not an entertainment one.

                              Well, not all things are for entertainment. Some like serious reviews, like EVO's for instance. The best car magazine IMHO.
