Top Gear (Korea) GT86 Video Review
 
I only spent a couple hours translating this.. so I didn't have a chance to fix the grammar errors :P

From what I hear, the BBC version should be coming in about a week or two :) so this should do now!
enjoy! :happy0180:

I had to cut it for the 15 minute margin on youtube, sorry.

So, 2 seconds faster than the Scirocco R on the skinny crappy tires.... Not bad. Imagine you could pull another second or two off that with comparable rubber.

I think those OEM 16" wheels look much better on the car than the EOM 17".

i like hearing the opinions of people from all over... i disagree wtih his view on the interior tho. yea its not top of the line or anything but its far from bad. I bet if he sat in a dodge magnum(what i came out of) then got in the 86 he wouldnt be saying its the worst :lol:

still, that seems kind of embarassing. and like WTF?

all this talk of low center of gravity, and low weight, and we're getting beat around a track (where it is supposed to have the advantage) by an SUV?

:brokenheart:

thats true.

but still, taking into account the nearly twice the HP, nearly twice the TQ, the car is also over twice as heavy! i just don't get it.
