@MsCrappants didn't expect american to have taste.... U have WORST LOOKING cars, that are being built with 50 year old technologies. Don't know if it's worse to look at them or drive them. HEY made up new catch phrase for US cars here it goes: LOOKS LIKE SHIT, DRIVES LIKE BRICK, DRIVEN BY PRICK. There u go, genuine enlightenment.
junaid187, no, alfas are quite reliable.. my 1984 spider has 180000 on the clock, and i still buzz mazda miatas at 7000 rpm in 4 th gear.....comperssion is still 200 cold and 220ish hot..i have rebuilt the head.. but at 180000 miles,, if you still have your car.you have done some repairs, by the way my reliable german car? i am selling it,, bmw's are like a prinsess, allway wanting repair at some point
@JUNAID187 No, it is not. I would say it is less reliable then its German rivals but they are amazing trust me on this. I have Alfa Romeo 156 and it has never gone wrong never and I look forward to go somewhere just to ride it :)
funny buehehe mine alfa keeps in one piece at 210kmph when other cars seems to shit in pants on roads you probally have never seen ,so called "swisschese"-imagine
The fact that the Audi, being a scant 0.6 sec faster than the RWD Mazda with its funny turbine, is driven by people who think people who drive other cars are stupid, bars me from associating myself with them until the very end of time.
the Alfa looks gorgeous on the front but at the back its horrible... the Mazda looks weird as if its been squashed.. the Audi looks the best and its the fastest.. so i'd take the Audi...
and the audi won...surprise surprise.........german engeneering against 2 wank cars.... it beats them in every aspect. design, quality , etc. its a fact so please dont reply my comment :)
@Chrispisz12 You've NEVER seen it in person, and in person it looks 20 times better. You cant see the proportions, details, edges on videos. Seeing a car thats so well designed on pictures is like watching porn blindfolded.
@derbigpr500 I can just tell I won't like it. I don't like the shape of the body and headlights. That's just my taste. I like the Audi TT so much more. I like your comparison though =)
The driver of these cars really pushed the TT & did not do the same with the other 2 cars. Most real reviews have 2 or 3 runs per car. I have to admit the Alfa is always a nice looking saloon car, However the RX8 clearly is the performer here. I would NOT recommend one to a person as a daily driver as they are plagued with a lot of issue; when you get it out on the road it's fun to drive and if you buy an ACT or Centerforce stage 2 clutch you can launch it at 5500-6500 RMP and get a good 0-60.
RX8 good .. save money and practic ....... TT is a ´´look at me i have a audi TT is not r8 posibly :D ..... alfa ... god for looks and heard essence.. i like RX8 ... thx topgear
Excuse me to all those idiots that claim the TT is a girls car. Let me ask you this, what makes a car a "girls car"? Ehh? From what I know girls like to drive cute looking cars. Based on that I wouldn't mind driving a girls car, because it looks good. It means you have taste. I rather drive a girls car than an ugly car, because girls car are usually cute looking. The TT can be argued to be cute, and I personally believe the TT is the best looking car there. Especially the higher trim TT. LED FTW
@sultanabran1 well, some front drive cars are very good, take the RS focus, the renault sport megane 250...and the old 225, the new GTI, the scirocco R, and my favourite, the Leon Cupra R (new one)
i prefer the mazda overall. japanese styling has always caught my eye, however, the audi does seem like it handles way better. im way more into Inline 4 turbo then rotary too, but the car just seems to look like my girlfriend would drive it. she even says she wants one. the alfa is just uglier than sin. itd look better if beaten with a shovel during a hailstorm. and its not sporty.
I would have the Alfa as a daily driver. We don't get really artistic cars like that in America, and if owning a passionately designed vehicle means less reliability (as they claim, I can't tell if they're joking about their past reputation)... well that's a sacrifice I'd be willing to make.
For some reason, if I were to buy an Alfa of the current range, I can't think of anything other than that beautiful 159. The rear end looks too heavy on the Brera, in my opinion.
RX-8 is a good car all-round, but trust me on this (I've test-driven one), if you're used to European cars, the dashboard is APPALING.
While the Alfa has one of the best looking fronts I've seen thus far I don't like the back. The Audi looks good overall. Now the Alfa beeing the least "pringly" car I beg to differ. The Alfa is by far the most pringly of them all. If you bought that car everyone is goint to envy the looks of it but everyone is going to know you just bought it for that. It's slow and it's a car for exactly the kind of person who goes golfing, wearing a horribly colloured suit most likely.
By the way: The Mazda looks horrible, has a motor that is prone to break and is considered a womens car here in Germany so I'm just going to ignore it.
Seeing as even the under motorized 2.0 TT archieved a better time I'll just assume the 3.2 V6 Quattro will obliterate it. So I don't think I miss something out there anyways.
@RushFugu This is all true but they are still very fun on canyon roads. I've never driven a car that felt so composed and the interior is very driver oriented. 350Z has nothing on it in terms of poise and interior layout.
This is what I hate about top gear, the cheap car challenge, the classic rally, the layland challenge, this& the limo challenge and another one I can't remember of Top Gear always say ''so...the best car is the worst'' I'm sick and tired of this and I just can't watch fifth gear.
RX8 seems like a proper sports car for men. TT looks like a roadster for girls. Alfa - don't know what's so special about it. Looks ugly, slow, handles like a piano.
@david181993 rx-8 it's strange looking, but nice, tt looks sweet, the brera is very good looking but slow... and the ugly thing about alfa is that they made 3 cars that looks the same in the front.. 1 brera 2 159 3 spider looks same but beatifully same...
@david181993 i never said that it's ugly... i said that the ugly thing about alfa is that they made 3 cars that look like pretty same... only that, but the front of those alfa is very aggressive and stilysh
@xnjaq7 As a matter of fact, i do have a Mazda. Mazda3 (it's great for a large city like Toronto) And I had german cars in the past. Mazda makes very good cars btw. Even Mazda3 is a lot of fun to drive, well built a cheap to maintain.
In Toronto where i live, Mazda3 is the most popular small sedan (beats Corollas, Jettas, Sentras etc).
RX8 is a car i'd buy next. 100%. Never again i'd buy a used European car. They are bleeding expensive to maintain and not even the much fun :)
Audi TT: Nothing special, you see them every day and even for its small changes its still a womans car.
RX 8: There is nothing to argue about, only that the engine misses some torque, but ifrom those 3 its the most special and sensational one to drive.
@zaidmuscle: Yeah but thats some years ago, still even if he said that he didnt say much of a word about the car now, kind of amaturistic for such a specific show, I mean a car laike that Brera should
well Jeremy i like your show but you have to be honest

The RX-8 truly is the best. Aside from gas mileage and oil consumption, it wins everything, besides the practicality on the Alfa's part.
Sure, the Audi beat it around the track, but it's nowhere near as fun to drive, and it's much more expensive.
And "Holy Nosedive, Batman!" on that Audi.
