The car sounded better in this review than in the other ones I ahve seen. Must have used a better microphone. Still the CS and 355 sound better.
Excellent car. I hope to see one in the club in a few months time.

It seems some cartoon or so because Chris Harris didnt find any fault (but the price), and his comments were all about compliments; however, the gearbox, the brakes, the engine....are superb
In terms that Chris Harris´s car description is better than the legendary Tiff Needells, Id also say that Chris´s comments are even better than the TG´s; Actually IMO, Tiff´s comments have gone backwards in the last years (he enphasisez too much about oversteering and drifting, and a car means much more than that), and currently I prefer the Plato´s comments by miles far

Car looked like it was being driven a bit better on those mountain roads than in the other video.
Sounds great.

Have to agree with the comments above reffering to Chris Harris... He's a great Car reviewer! I really enjoy his no nonsense approach to analyzing cars - while Top gear is great for a laugh, showing off some awesome cars - Chris Harris is for the more focused car enthusiast...
Another fantastic review! 8)

imo TG is for people who are only generally interested in cars. Very glossy, but not much there; kind of like 'car' magazine. 5th gear and Autocar are more like, well, Autocar magazine and evo, and maybe sport auto (the german version) to boot. They are watched and read by enthusiasts, not posers.
That being said, I have noticed 5th gear starting to look a lot more like TG, at least as far as the cinematography is concerned...
Regarding the comment about drifting, hey I'm by no means into the ricer thing, but drifting any car (especially at a track) is pure glee. Have you ever tried it??
Lastly, I think that the Scuderia sounds pretty flat, especially compared to it's closest competitor the Gallardo SL, never mind the 599 GTB...

Very cool review. Agreed with him that it is definitely not the most beautiful Ferrari but it is definitely very desirable.
