top gear last night?

[illyun]

there is a huge contradiction between top gear tv and top gear mag. in the mag, the type-r was praised as being the best hot hatch but clearly not on the tv show.
Love the type-r but was dissapointed with the new ones engine. Would think it sounds nicer than the gti tho. can't beat the noise of an engine at 8500 rpm!

oh yes you can in my opinion!!

I am with you on that one 

Damn right too... the R32 engine sounds        how can I ever forget that sound.. ahhhhhhhh... 

I probably had really low mpg on that car because I would press the accelerator just to hear that V6 symphony and when overtaking cars on the motorway, I made sure to drop down a gear and press the accelerator hard so that they were under no illusions as to what was overtaking them    It was one of my favoruite aspects about the R32... pure class.  The GTI sounds like a bee compared to the majestic roar of the R32.

I saw that one on the Civic Type R.. But didnt James May test it?

He was thrashing it all over the track... Or being in South Africa did I see the wrong episode?
