For me it had to be the 575 vs Vanquish review although my pick lost. And the TVR tuscan review a few episodes back...excellent camera work. Top Gear is far away from the competition.

Stradale vs. GT3 RS.

Still get all pumped up whenever I watch it.


Other favourites are the Scaglietti vs. airplane, Enzo, F430 and Carrera GT features.

Shit, to be honest I can't really answer this question because there just are soooo many...

If I had to pick a couple, the GT3 vs 360CS is very good and don't forget Tiff's review of the M3 & 996TT. James his best feature was no doubt the Maserati Quattroporté. Jeremy has done so many superb features that I can't tell which one is THE best. The best of Richard are probably the Zonda & Murci Roadster + Porsche GT + TVR R350C.

Some other favorites: M3 CSL, Koenigsegg, Murci vs Zonda, CGT, Toyota pick up truck destruction, ...

This is a tough question, there're way too many memoriable features on Top Gear.

If I have to pick one, it got to be the jag XKR vs. BMW 7 series vs. Porsche 911 feature with the guys playing on the beach

Very tough indeed... They present a lot of quality and fun stuff, like the Lotus Exige vs. Apache, or the atempt to destroy a Toyota Hilux, most of the interviews are just hilarious...

The last episode of last year had a "cheap car comparison" that was very funny as they couldn´t find even one car that was even close to good. The Enzo, SLR, CGT and Ferrari 360 CS vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS reviews were awesome aswell.

I think of all of the 6 seasons I watched the one that made the lasting impression was the CGT.
That howl and Jeremy's reactions are classic. 8)

hmmm best feature...thats a good one.been thinkin about it and one feature that i loved and watched quite a lot of times,its the Aston Martin DB9 vs the train.loved that feature.along with that i liked the long test they did of the twin turbo diesel audi that jeremy drove 800miles on a tank.

also the CGT was a good feature and the GT3 RS vs the CS.

but as i said,the best for me had to be the Aston Martin DB9 vs train feature.
