This is a more informative car show than top gear, but less entertaining. The two programs have different selling points, and anyway top gear used to be presented by Tiff and Vikki when it was a proper car show.

So to every one who comes along and leaves stupid and negative comments about the show, why the hell are u watching it then? huh?

What else are you going to watch it for, retard. It's a car show.

[MrPowerofWhite]

I don't really understand why people complain about the various car shows...honestly

Top Gear UK is the main show everyone watches, then when it goes in off season people watch Fifth Gear > Top Gear USA > Subtitled Cheesy Top Gear Korea. Top Gear UK is the entertaining show, Fifth Gear is the factual show, and Top Gear USA is the retarded step-son that people feel the need to love.

Z ROADSTER POWER

Eh.... I'd rather the 350Z :)

Also you people buy a Nissan SPORTS car (one of the best bang for buck on the planet) and complain that it breaks? I urge you people to NEVER fork out for a SUPERCAR like a Ferrari or Lambo. Anyone that knows anything about cars and motorsport knows that reliability vs performance is a fine balance. Want something that never breaks? Get a Corolla and enjoy your nice safe reliable daily commute.

In the mean time I'll continue to treat my 350Z Roadster like a Ferrari.

For all the "I got burned by Nissan" comments. There's a trick to owning a Nissan

Buy FROM Nissan, get it SERVICED by someone else. Fact is that most Nissan dealerships/service centers just know how to service a Micra. They are NOT the people to go to to get the best out of your Z.

I've had a few warranty issues and Nissan have fixed them without question. Excellent service there. But as soon as the car is out of warranty, I'll go to a after market workshop and have her really opened up.

@celt67 Totally agree. I used to be a TG fanboi and refused to watch 5th gear. But now I enjoy BOTH. TG for the fun. 5G for the FACTS. 5G for the cars I own. TG for the cars I dream of owning.

aftereffects > the 350Z hasn't "won every challenge". It's too heavy and on the limit, it shows. I wouldn't prefer the Z4 3.0si Coupé to the 350Z, though

@Mikew995 I'm also an owner of a 350z and I disagree on all fronts. It was a good effort on Nissan's part, but it loves to fall apart...too many problems, no support from Nissan, and not very usable either. I can't wait until it dies so I can part it out and buy from a Manufacturer that stands behind their product. Horribly engineered product, and unrefined... suspension + engine especially. Looks nice though!

@Mikew995,

I'm mentally challenged because I read the myriad complaints from other consumers who put their trust in Nissan? I think not. Just because you got a good one. Or, at least so far as you know. Many other people got burned by Nissan. Nissan has shown that they will readily rob people w/o a care in the world. They also make the GTR. That's supposed to be one of the best sports cars going. Due to how they treat other model buyers. i wouldn't buy one if I could. Truth Hurts...

[Mikew995]

You are clearly mentally challenged, I own a 350z and to be quite frank I dont know of another car I would rather drive. Its ridiculously refined and meticulously engineered, and it shows in almost every element of it.
