My point was that both cars are identical except for shock/spring valving and rates. And the difference is subtle, but both over steer prone, BRZ less, because of shock/spring. There are other factors too, if we are talking stock vs. stock. Things like alignments and tire pressures make a big difference on this car. (Not arguing, just talking points)

Is it me or did the Stig look like he was having a hard time driving it? It didn't look like it was sharp and composed enough.

Nah, just looked like a loose RWD car in the wet.
There would have been much less oversteer on a completely dry track. A car with a tendency to oversteer in general + wet track + Prius tires = slidey ridiculousness. I wonder in those conditions if it wasn't just as fast as holding back and keeping the tail 100% under control. Nathan |

Unlike most, I actually didn't like this review. It really fell short of some of the reviews they've done in the past. It was very straightforward and not as quirky as other reviews; however, I am glad that Top Gear loves the car, but it just did not show in this vid.

Wonder if the nannies were on or off. I would imagine off.
