Liked the GT3RS section, but the rest was rubbish.

Really struggling with the sheer amount of smug they exude.

You're friends with me on Facebook, I thought you'd be used to intolerable levels of smug

so, let me get this right, TGT is crap but you all still watch it?

Whilst I agree it;s not the second coming, it is pretty much what was expected/anticipated, so what's the problem?

No, based on the last few years of C/M/H Top Gear, I suspected it'd be rubbish, so haven't bothered.

I wouldn't say it's rubbish. It's far from being great. Currently it is mildly entertaining, but IMHO a format that is getting tired. The car review section is pretty feeble. The cocking about has it's moments, but largely is just too familiar now. I'll keep watching it for just now, as I say, it's mildly entertaining.

Other than episode 2.. I've really enjoyed it. Episodes 3 & 4 were both pretty good and lots of chuckles from me.

Glad to have them back.

I think what I wanted more of was the challenges across countries or whatever. Expected the budget to be bigger so more of them. Last weeks eco cars going 5 miles was just guff.

GT3 bit was ok.

I watched one. Haven't bothered watching the others.

If I'm being honest it's partly due to the intolerable smugness but I'm also a bit busy at the moment so haven't really been watching much tv at all.

Glad you're enjoying it, it is really popular.

My thoughts as well, and I am pleased to see that I am still in the same demograph as one so young :D

Prime trial ends in a couple of days so just watched part of Ep4 which will be the last one.

BMW was slated, had warning of the Eco so bypassed it, suppose that left the GT3RS which we did not even get to see the fat Yank drive. Liked his BMW comment "T/C's are an excuse for too few cylinders".

Watched 4 last night. Overall decent enough though the land Rover bit want on far too long and is all a bit predictable. the GT3 section was fine and i also laughed when the fat yank said turbos were an excuse for to few cylinders.

Im 2 weeks into my free trial and will cancel after that.
