Autocar: Best Handling Car 2006

[gangajas]

Really interesting video. Chris Harris tests the Mini Cooper S JCW GP, the Cayman S, the Clio Sport 197 and the DB8 Sport Package:

Nice setup - except the videos have very bad continuity

The driver has a white helmet, windows are closed and he leaves behind the Cayman...

...yet 30 seconds later drives past the camera about to be lapped by the Cayman, ahs the windows open and is wearing a yellow helmet.

:)

When are car mags going to show "the hotlap" on video.. not a hash-mash of general video from the day???

;)

Don't you guys want to see the "real" stuff?

You can use a program called DownStream, it works very well, just download it and use it to download this adress: "mms://ms.groovygecko.net/groovyg/clients/haymarket/Autocar/Sep_06/Best_Handling_Car_2006_512k.wmv".



Good video, I'm surprised at all the positive remarks about the DB9, since it is meant to be the most comfortable GT-type Aston. I've also heard the manual gearchange isn't quite right which is contrary to what was said in this video.

I thought it was one of the best clips that I have seen from Autocar to date. I like the way Harris is very matter-of-fact in his assessment of each car; not bowing to what others have said about each car. Then again, I guess he is just not dramatic enough to knock Clarkson or Tiff out of a job yet :wink:
