his opinions seem to sway a lot of peoples thoughts when really they are just that - opinions

i love top gear though
This is the problem, not everyone looks at these things as just that, opinions - 'if TG say its wrong, it must be.'

I have have spoken to so many people/customers over the years who dont like this or that because the rear legroom is bad or the doors dont open enough, theres too much road noise etc all because Top Gear or Which or whoever have said so, and have then ended up buying the car because when they drove it, it wasn't a problem to them or they didnt even notice this major design flaw.

Test drive the car yourself, by all means read up on it, learn about things that others dont like but make a judgement yourself. If only more people would understand that programs like Top Gear are there not just to comment on cars but to sensationalise them. Thats why ferraris, lambos, porsche's etc are on there more than peugeot 106's, minis, fiestas etc.
