[TOMTRAPSATROUT]

[SwordPlay2]

I just bought a white Fiat 500 today, can't wait to chase wasters around a large industrial area.

[45ROBERTXFORD]

James May is a noob

[Adayum27]

[SennaHamilton1]

[prikljucak]

in Serbia , fiat 500 is also known as Fica :D

[artamdelaroja]

@prikljucak i don't know if you meant that but just to be sure,in italian Fica means Pussy. 

[prikljucak]

@artamdelaroja nonono Fica is nickname for Filip (Philip) ;)

[72master]

[doraemon8061]

I think the perfect car for this is the new Perodua MyVi Extreme 1.5. Simply faster than the Fiat.....,

[brianator145]

@driaslow: what's hotsteeze? some website??? please reply

[soroksarcity]

I'm from Budapest, and I've got to say that this was in no way done IN A SINGLE TAKE! Their route is impossible...

[xSmiggle]

@soroksarcity they probably taped like the race and did shots of like where they went but doing tricks a stuff

[R140208]

@soroksarcity my dear Hungarian friend witch felt the need to mention that he is from Budapest , you can be from freaking Honolulu and still figure out that this was not done in a single take but it is still a pretty nice video they pulled out..

[soroksarcity]

@R140208 so my new name will be captain obvious!

[Gloomfrost]

The bikers falling was hilarious.

[ANICON2006]

i liked this race but how did the cameraman keep up with the bikes.. LoL

[volcanochr]

@ANICON2006 I am pretty sure the have planned the route and have multiple cameramen at certain points of the route.

[MisterGutsy108]

they just repeat the same "NO!" at 4:12 , 6:28 and 6:40 lol.

[BioGeometric066]

Holy hell...thats not biking...thats Bikour.

[kcam04]

I love top gear, they have the weirdest races and test.... Just got done watching him race a Alfa Romeo and a guy walking across a muddy river. Now he chased pedal bikes through the city. Looks like I'll be watching Panda vs marathon runner too.......

[HawK271080]

[HawK271080]

Misleading description FTW

[ForzaFerrari47]

@nuskox alfa has the most passion of them all wat u talkin about. If it werent for alfa there would be no ferrari, no ferrari means no lambo all of italy would be boringthen

[driaslow]

@watersport321: check hotsteeze. com -> its like a giant list of tricks

[JORDAN1840]

love this car

[emanuelfonseca123]

FIAT is like the other cars... Who makes the car is the owner!!!! If treat a 500 like a SUV, of corse you gone fuck the car!!!

This is a 500 not a Hummer... some people are just stupid.

[brooklyntheredone]

@emanuelfonseca123

you cant treat the Hummer like an SUV either

(unless your talking about the H1)

[MrWoopwoop98]

stop all u haters...fiat is better than all just like other italian cars

[DerpWonder]

Personally small cars make me feel very ill i only watched it to see the pointless fiat get eaten by the guys on BMX's.

[halflife103]

hmm, i think i prefer the Fiesta... I wonder which is faster?.

[leoz96]

@halflife103 They are from different ranges, the Fiesta may easily be faster, because of a bigger engine, Its around 120 hp, while the Fiat is around 60-70 hp, overally the Fiesta counts more as an utility car and the fiat, as James said, is more a "fashion item". I would choose the Ford because of a better overall Prize-Car relation but the 500 is still an incredibly beautiful and funny car.

[halflife103]

@leoz96 ill agree its funny looking, i just don't see the point of it. i just don't see it...

My opinion of course.

[YODAtheGREY]

Soooooooo~ adorable car! I love 500 ^ㅅ^

[mrlalalala56]

did anyone notice the bird at 2:08 ?

[playermatti]

La vecchia a 5.20 dice '' ma che porcodio stanno a fare !!!''

[Spaha93]

fićo ! ^^

[razi2b]

does it have a sport gear ?

[wiccanmoonman]

I really want the Ford KA but since FIAT designed the KA I want the 500c more.

[wiccanmoonman]

It's about $7,400 usd cheaper than a mini copper in South Carolina

[motorhead41]

Ummm whats with the description

[djbacka]

It's fake because between the city center and the industrial area there is a 6 kilometres long road where the speed limit is 70 km/h and you can go up to 100 km/h. There are no shortcuts and if you can't go by car, you go by a suburban railway which takes 15 minutes.

[flightboy737]

Wow! What a great lap that Hamil... oh wait, I read the description.

[KyleReidzilla]

I'm actually really considering the sport model, around $120 canadian bi-weekly will get me one!

[gumonthepants]

Was that real at 3:58??

Jól sikerült!

[jazmyn594]

Thumbs up for the old woman at 5:21 :D

[u1430]

Google "Skoda Problems" and you'll find almost 7 million pages. This is true. Alternatively, you can visit the BRISOKDA FORUM which reveals a host of build quality issues. Be warned, the site is a community of old retirees who like to moan; your Typical demented Skoda owner!!

Just save yourselves from humilliation and buy a Fiat 500. I've got an ABARTH 500 SS model and it looks fab, handles great and runs perfect. The 500 is a multi award winning World icon; what rubbish Skoda can claim that??

[u1430]

Bmwmakecrap is a TROLL with several YouTube accounts. This deluded nutter drives a shitty SKODA...yes..the most embarrassing brand ever. He thinks Skoda are better than..wait for it, ALFA, FIAT, BMW, MERCEDES, MASERATI, FERRARI etc. A clear case of jealousy me thinks. Everyone knows; Skodas are renowned for their DULL LOOKS, DULL HANDLING and SHAMEFUL BADGE. They are budget VW's picked by senile old farts with major self confidence issues. I'd rather drive my stylish 500 than push an ugly Skoda!

[bmwmakecrap]

Avoid 500's like the plague - severe braking faults, bad reliability record -85th/100 in the 2011 driver power survey hardly inspires confidence. Buy a decent car, spend the extra and get a 140mph Fabia vRS that exudes quality/reliability and fun.Just avoid anything with a Fiat badge on it - and yes, I have had the misfortune to own Fiats, but am now a satisfied Skoda owner :-)

[thestonecoldandy]

@bmwmakecrap reliability is tedious jackass besides the fabia is just about the blandest car you can buy all vw manufactured are so dull and simple. we'll get you a g-wiz if you don't stop bragging about skoda. the fors fiesta drives better. the fiat 500 is far better looking,exciting and stylish. they're just old volkswagen's here's a list of what id buy instead of your skodas. fabia-citroen ds3 roomster-citroen c3 picasso yeti-mini countryman octavia-alfa giulietta superb-alfa 159

[bmwmakecrap]

@thestonecoldandy Thats your perogative, personally, I like Citroens and ran my own Peugeot and Citroen Diesel business in the late 90's/early 00's. The Mini Countryman tho - its hideous! (And was beaten hands down by Yeti which is built to AUDI quality). Mini means small, but BMW seems to think it means BIG. Alfa 159 - very nice looker, last of the good looking Alfas. Each to their own, I love my vRS, fast, fun, subtle and makes me smile - and thats what driving should be all about :-).

[machinegunboy98]

proper* god.. what's with my spelling today?

[machinegunboy98]

"get a porper bike" "get a proper car!" *appears two minutes later with a formula ferrari and the cops start shutting roads*

[nickia1988]

man now I want this car!

[soupdragon151]

I've seen 3 of these cars in the last 2 days, all white. Must be popular.

[jazmyn594]

i love how they drove it in the snow it really looks great!! :D

[daprince001x]

fake

[appa609]

This guy just learned some respect for BMX.

[derekpygarrett]

James May to those bandits: "You get a proper bike", while the bandits to James May: "you get a proper car"

[0XAciDRaiNX0]

whoa, that lady at 2:02 looks like she'd bust your face for a quarter.!

[Mr1Puff]

@0XAciDRaiNX0 I love people like you that randomly find random people in top gear shows. :D

[MultiRunenoob]

fuck the car, love the bikes! <3

[TheMrPaddzy]

@MultiRunenoob well said! :D

[MacGyver920]

@nitroboyn2o2 What car is it? I can't see.

[nitroboyn2o]

Greatest car ever at 2:00

[MacGyver920]

Come on people! Don't argue about which European cars are the best and call some of them shit. I love ALL European cars.

[LordSandwich97]

Oh come on, it's May, captain slow! He isn't supposed to win. The fiat 500 is just too good for him.

[Renji131]

+1 To BMX

[FLAME4564]

XD heheheheheeeeeh XD this is just classic XD. So what? the Fiat 500 may not look worthy of pimping but it would make a great future city car alongside the successors such as the mini, Honda Jazz and ofc the Toyota Yaris.

[RCflyer92]

2:38 .... the poor bird

[padelrio00]

@RCflyer92 ABSOLUTELY ACCORDING WITH YOUR OPINION!!! INCREDIBLE....

ASUNCION, SANTIAGO

[FiebruBoricuaVdub]

lol at the bmx'er saying "get a proper car", what does he's think he's driving? a smartcar? ;)

[everyday602430]

[MyriadesusTV]

as nice as it looks, i hate how the latest car's new generation is so much bigger than its original.

[ssq778]

"OH COCK... In hungarian"

LOL James May is funny

[ssq778]

"...the ancient philosophers Clarksonius 4th century bc, "how hard can it be"..."

[Katmarie100]

I've just bought one of these, waiting to pick it up from the garage once it's actually got a number plate! I'm so excited!!

[iurea848]

[psilo110]

what motorway are you getting 60mpg on from your 2.5l BMW diesel ? the fantasyland expressway ?

I know people exaggerate on the interweb but doubling your real world fuel economy for the sake of chest pounding ? obvious troll is obvious.

if you drive a diesel why are you watching TopGear ? you obviously hate cars and driving.

[Erv187]

anyone know the damn name of the song that plays at :30 seconds

[tranz2deep]

As sequels go, this wasn't shabby.. And it was a very close thing. Kudos to all of them, and if it helps, James can comfort himself with what horrors would have erupted if he'd sent Jeremy on this one.

[ebayaddict19]

I recently got given a fiat500 as a courtesy car from the garage while they fix my 2.5BMW and i must say, what a slow piece of shit the fiat500 is

[u1430]

@ebayaddict19 Well I've got the Abarth 500 SS model and it's alot more fun than your dull German shit

[pianistatrc]

@u1430 i drive a bmw 1 series 130i to be precise and i dont think its dull or shit...

i think rear wheel drive is quite fun to be honest. but eaven so i think your opinion is respect worthy and i wont judge the abarth, but it must be fun.

[Z2theONA]

@u1430 Where do you live?

[guitarkayschi139]

@u1430 he said the fiat 500 is a slow piece of shit ....and that´s right....i guess he don´t said the abarth is slow .Cause the abarth is very quick and it´s fun . And german shit ....german shit does not exist , they build the best cars on earth idiot !

[u1430]

@guitarkayschi139 It's not slow you thick moron. Have a look at other cars in this segment to compare speed. Also, German cars are the DULLEST shit on earth. Italian cars are by far the best...i.e. Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa...etc. Ciao

[guitarkayschi139]

@u1430 Italian cars are great im a fan of pagani and ferrari .....but the best cars actually build in germany ....Audi , Bmw, Mercedes , Vw , Porsche , Opel , Wiesmann..... and they r not boring u idiot , u really have no idea about cars i think ...like a 10 years old italian kid :D

[u1430]

@guitarkayschi139 Your just a dumbass fool who likes German cars. Simple as that. Most people say German cars are dull, or boring and Italian cars have soul. As for quality, German brands are far from the best - Lexus and Honda are top in surveys and Mercedes, BMW, VW towards the bottom. This is true. Look it up, seems the only kid with no motoring knowledge is you...and probably drives a VW Golf, or similar dull motor!

[psilo110]

@ebayaddict19

lemme know when your 2.5l BMW gets 40mpg

[ebayaddict19]

@psilo110 Well I do allot of motorway driving, (London to Leeds most days in fact) and I get around 60mpg running premium diesel. The Fiat 500's 1.4 engine wouldn't even survive a 500 mile high speed motorway round trip

[rix262]

one question .

who were the bmx'ers ?

[prettymuchepic]

@rix262 the one speaking at the end was sebastian keep but i dont know the other one

[motorgame]

3:59 after effects

[RabbidRake]

Dumb question: Is there a name of the piano score playing in the beginning?

[3089280288]

OMG! Who is the producer? There should a TopGear movie. The cinematography is epical!

[EgaoNoGenki]

That original 500 was so danged small, it would even cramp today's child occupants! (Of course, the obesity epidemic showcases this today.)

But what was the minimum age to drive in Italy back in those days? 10 years old?

[otakueric]

I to sick tricks on bmx.

BUT THIS GUYS WERE VERY SICK.

[piggyfb]

thumbs up if you found this searching for "bmx"

[bauuau18]

Fiats are great cars

[bauuau18]

@ATBparkour LOL

This was valid in the 80's and 90's

[ATBparkour]

@bauuau18 My statement is valid today, 2 family members owning puntos and both of them breaking constantly...

[u1430]

@ATBparkour Why make the effort to search and watch Fiat videos if you dont like the cars?? fucking retard

[ATBparkour]

@u1430 bless, do you live on this video, i gotta ask from the weeks worth of comments.

Secondly, when did I say I never liked them? I said they broke, and "fix it again", dont mean I dont like em.

Thirdly, before you start givin it the biggun with your keyboard, think of the other thing I might of searched for and got this video? Maybe 'top gear' ?? Dickhead.

[u1430]

@ATBparkour Yes, weeks worth of responding to losers like you who post negative and juvenile comments...

[ATBparkour]

@u1430 ohhh i didnt know you policed the sites! tell ya what, dya wanna tell me off for swearing too if your against freedom of speech? just dont slap my wrist too hard.

[u1430]

@ATBparkour No, I'm against narrow-minded individuals who probably lack sanity. It's easy to sense your immaturity. Now when your old enough to pass your driving test, only then you can pass valid judgement on cars in an intelligent manner. Until then, stay in school, as you obviously failed a simple acronym test.

[ATBparkour]

@u1430 Bless, now starting to talk like you actually know me! Big step forward from keyboard hype, well done. :)

Well if you want to know more about me I could write my life story in your inbox, doubt you'd like it though haha, but needless to say i am driving myself.

This valid judgement you say comes from experience of having a fiat! In fact, 2 fiats that both got sent to the scrapheap, one was only 9 years old and owned by my grandad!

And likewise school was a long time ago, any more? :)

[u1430]

@ATBparkour What keyboard hype? You're starting to sound even more retarded. I feel more qualified to pass judgement because I've owned several Fiat cars over the years ALL of which have been robust, reliable and a pleasure to own. I know a few people who own VWs that constantly break down. Every brand has a few bad apples. Looks like you're relatives got them. Now thats if I were to believe you. Anyhow, you still can't pass judgment because you've never experienced one for yourself. See ya, kid

[ATBparkour]

@u1430 What do you mean if I were to believe you, why would I feel the need to lie about our cars going to scrappage?

Oh thats a change, I cant pass judgement cos I personally have never owned one? Alright then mate looool, i may just get my mum to sign up for youtube and comment on her punto if you want me to? would that satisfy you enough or would that still be not good enough for you?

[u1430]

@ATBparkour Oh please. Yet again you speak like your infact juvenile; "I may just get my mum...blah blah", seriously, whats that going to prove? I can easily get all of my mates who own Fiats to come here and say how fantastic they are. Grow up, kid

[ATBparkour]

@u1430 you prat because you say i aint owned one, my mum has, so if I aint owned one and you want a person who's one did break! jesus christ you aint half pickey in your arguments.
