God, I miss the '90s. If bankers back then fucked up the economy this bad, at least they had the dignity to throw their chair through the glass, then jump out the window. Bankers today hadn't even thought about doing that, even when Jeremy asked him.
Some people here are talking absolute rubbish. Top Gear review cars, that's what they do (when they're not cocking about making films that are not one bit funny these days anyway). These cars just are rubbish, it's a fact. I'm usually on a very tight budget when I buy a car, but I would rather go without than buy a Proton, or a Kia, or a Daewoo (even under it's fake name Cheverolet) etc etc. These cars are cheap, but they're not THAT cheap. You could still buy a European car for the same ££.
@xRAMxDOD Absolutely. They're no better than AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or any 1 of the hundreds of reckless companies that leveraged everything to the hilt into the stock markets, knowing they can put pressure on stupid British or American government politicians to get bailed out without fear of punishment, or end up in another Great Depression.
Hell, if everyone would get bailed out of reckless behavior with "free" taxpayer money, and never have to go to jail, they'd bet everything too.
Not exactly the most inspirational cars but then they were not meant to be. They are designed for those in the real world who have to live on tight budgets – Something the sneering £40.000 per WEEK Clarkson could never understand.
@bommmmmmmm On the second half of this episode they do find good cheap hatchbacks, and they do admit such a thing exists. It's just that the three they picked initially weren't that great.
That being said, the tests they did to find a good car were completely stupid, useless, and not at all funny.
@bommmmmmmm you think clarkson's parents made that kind of money too? or that he himself did so for his first 40 years? don't think so, so stop being a stupid bitch. he knows exactly what he's talking about.

Why has the Proton got stripes? In Europe (and probably America) stripes are only acceptable on fast, rare versions of a car. The Proton is neither fast nor rare.
On very first auto racing championship (i think in 1908) to each country was given their own racing color (British racing green, German silver etc.), and America hasnt got racing color, so they use two stripes alog the body.
And i dunno why do they put white stripes on Proton)
Ferrari and Lamborghini use stripes as well - usually on the fast, stripped out, hardcore versions (like the Scuderia and Gallardo Balboni). I think they put stipes on the Proton because they tried (and failed) to make it interesting.
I like the Fiat 500, although the MiTo is just a Fiat Punto in a pretty body. Still, if it makes you happy... My favourite cheap car is the Renault Clio 182. Goes like hell, loads of equipment, fun to drive, great personality and all for less than 15 grand.
I wouldn't blame anyone for choosing the Fiat, it is a very good little car. These days, you're spoilt for choice if you want a fun, small, cheap car. There's no reason to buy any rubbish car when you can have a good one for the same money. Classic case in point: Suzuki Swift. Good looking, well equipped, fun to drive and costs less than 8 thousand. Not to my liking, but still a good car.
Wow this is a disgrace to Malaysia. We have TWO cars featured here. "it's a lil' plastic'y" "A LITTLE?!?" lol WTF "I'd rather be in Paul scholes that was REALLY random! Hahaha good video.
Mazda MX-5, BMW 122i Coupé inline-6, BMW Z4 2.2, MB SLK 230 V6, FIAT 500, MINI Cooper S, Pontiac Solstice, Lotud Elise, Europa, etc...
It doesn't take so much to be REALLY, HUMBLY, AUTHENTICALLY HAPPY
...but no they have to have greater margins of profit, they have to have 30% growth a year, they have to have W12 1001 HP, V12, V10s, V8s, IT'S NEVER ENOUGH
GPS is nice, but I agree with you about keyless entry - it never really works. Besides, you could just buy a Garmin or a TomTom - they're pretty cheap, and do the job just the same.
Keyless entry makesa theifs job easier too if they get your key, they can just unlock a car and go through the place. If it works GPS is nice but other times a pain, my father rented a car in Kansas city and I insisted that he use a map but we drove in circles for awhile due to the GPS and road work.
I agree with you - keyless entry should be GOT RID OF. Sat Nav is good if it works, but as you said, it can take ages to warm up. Have you ever seen the Sat Nav in a Mercedes C Class? It's something like this "by the way, you should've turned left two miles back. So make a U-Turn when possible."
THE WORLD THEY CREATED IS THE FAKE WORLD IN WHICH PEOPLE COULD EASILY AFFORD SUMPTUOUS LUXURY BY CREATING FAKE VALUE AND DIVIDENDS, WHILE THE WORLD WORK FOR THEM AND AFRICANS AND THIRDWORLDLERS BREAK THEIR BACKS WORKING HARD JUST TO GET A LITTLE RICE AND 1/2 LITER DIRTY WATER A DAY FOR THEIR LITTLE OFFSPRING...

Stripes along the body is American racing sign
On very first auto racing championship (i think in 1908) to each country was given their own racing color (British racing green, German silver etc.), and America hasnt got racing color, so they use two stripes alog the body.

Ferrari and Lamborghini use stripes as well - usually on the fast, stripped out, hardcore versions (like the Scuderia and Gallardo Balboni). I think they put stipes on the Proton because they tried (and failed) to make it interesting.
