EVO Twaddle

[Dominic]

So, in the absence of EVO providing a decent top ten, what would SE's top ten be?

S1 elise
Metro Gti
Rover 200
Renault Clio
Seat Toledo
Fiat Tempra
Rover 400
Ford Escort
Rover 75
MGBGT (the fact it is at the bottom is probably more to do with the condition of the car.


Ok not much and I am sure I will be open to abuse but it's the top 10 out of all the cars I have driven (not that many)

I can't comment on how good a zonda is.

NOT A LIST OF WHAT YOU HAVE DRIVEN! Drivers cars????

I guess it depends on what your criteria for judging the car is - that goes for EVO too. If it's based on pure driving experience, then surely lots of expensive exotica would be at the top of list. If usabiliy and cost are brought into it, then it would be a list of compromised cars, in which case, how much of a compromise should be made???.... too many different possibilities. IMHO.

My EVO hasnt' arrived yet - but for me it's still the best monthly mag out there even if it has declined a bit of late.

What's the alternative? What car ? Top Gear ? Car ?

[campbell]

Took me a while to get to the article - where does all the time go - but having taken my time over it, I think (much like Top Gear) I took it for what it was...a bit of entertainment and an insight into a world I can only claim to have very meagre experience of. Despite, for some 10 yrs, having and owned and driven the car they *wanted* to have in the Top 10 but for some odd reason had to replace with Harry's 340

The fact that a Porsche didn't win it is a victory for many EVO critics I'm sure.

Although I could say that the fact an utterly unattainable, very low volume and in many regards truly impractical car won it, says it was all just an excuse for another jolly to Wales in 10 great cars. Hard life eh.

I was going to post about this also. As an Ex 220 owner and having driven S1's and S2's i fail to see how the VX is 68 cars worse than an S1!!!

Having both in the household, I agree it's no where near 68 cars worse than the s1, though

Having had 2 mk1 mx5's in the household (manual steer and power steer) they are damn good cars.

If you classify a great drivers car as something that can be used everyday, bought and run cheaply, is mega reliable, has few faults, and brought fun open top motoring to the masses, surely it has to be right up there.

But let's get to the meaty question... any mention of the original Mini..!

Never read Evo, and judging from opinions on here, probably never will!

I still enjoy my EVO, when I get a chance to read it.

You may be on to something there. Not so much the top 10 cars, but the top 10 cars that we could get our hands on for a group test.
