Another shinning review. This really is the car I have been waiting for for over a decade. Now which one is going to be the better value?

Last year they called the 2011 mini cooper s stale and needs to be redesign & golf gti needs to go back to its roots.

Top Gear is back on Sunday. I wonder if they will drive the BRZ/86 this series or if we will have to wait until next year.

1st modification: Not Prius tires.

I don't like how he says "on the street, fun is more important than speed"...you're not supposed to be drifting on the street :bonk:

IMO it's good to have a relatively grippy tire for the street for safety.

Last I heard, the same ones that are on the Prius.

Are they offering something stickier now? If so, then I recant.

The AMG vid was pretty neat, but I still personally prefer grip over sliding around. And again, we're talking about on the road here...

It's not the same tire that's on the Prius stock, for Prius it's an optional tire... at least, I saw that somewhere, iirc.

^Same tire manufacturer and dimensions as the Prius optional tires, yes, but different tire model and tread compound. Don't quote me on that; this is what I vaguely recall reading somewhere on this forum. Calling them "Prius tires" is a misconception.

I don't know if they were talking about production tires, or what was fitted to the car during the test.
