Top Gear Vs 5th Gear...

[Bourbon Boy]

Watched an episode of Top Gear the other night and found it pretty entertaining... But I can't help to compare them to 5th Gear.

I think that 5th Gear (although not as funny) is a more technical and informative show. Which in a way, as an enthusiast I think makes it a much better show than Top Gear...

What you guys think?

Top gear hands down, anyone can read a Brochure on a car (ala 5th Gear)

Top Gear is definitely more entertaining to watch. Fifth Gear presenters as a whole don't have the 'chemistry' like Clarkson, Hammond and May. Tiff is a wicked driver but I can't hack his voice.

both have their good points, top gear is more interesting to watch but doesnt have any real meaninful information about the cars, fifthgear while not as entertaining does give decent info on the cars they test.

Lately - 5th Gear.

Top gear is more of an entertainment program that tells you how a car feels and what its like to drive, whereas 5th gear is more about technical information, how ever there is 2 videos that i always remember when i think if tiff, one is him testing an M3

and the mclaren F1

both of which i believe are from when he was on top gear.

ive seen all of top gear pretty sure i never seen tiff on there..

as for one versus the other top gear all the way.

First of all you profile pic is distracting... damn she's hot.

Second yeah Tiff goes hard... Can't really expect less from the real deal racer.

Top gear is going down hill

season 15 is not as good as others

show seems forced somehow

you have seen all of the NEW top gear, there was an OLD topgear where jeremy was nothing more than one of the presenters and it was more dull and factual like fifth gear

Id prefer to look at Vicky rather than the guys @ top gear

[NISMO]

[FloydWestwood]

thing is - i already have my opinions of the cars that are tested on top gear/5th gear. thats not what i watch them for. i watch them because they're entertaining. top gear is the winner for me because they know that not everyone out there bases their opinions of the cars they drive on their show.. i mean, if i was tossing up between a ferrari and a DB9 i wouldnt watch a top/5th gear show to tell me which one to buy.

its HOW they test them that is entertaining. 5th gear is too concerned with telling you which is better with stats and numbers. top gear show you that you cant rate a car just on stats and figures. its the real world testing and their funny way of doing things that gets me as well as their brutally honest opinions.

Top Gear is the more entertaining show and, up till recently was the less-"forced" show but I'm finding season 15 of TG pretty ordinary, especially after such a long hiatus (of course they were doing a TG Live world tour; but the writers should be coming up with better stuff after so much time off).

Def rate Tiff Needell as a driver and as a presenter he has his own unique style, which is a bit weird at first esp. with accent and whatever but you get used to it. And his powerslides that go on for several kilometres make up for any downsides
