Topgear or 5th Gear?
I feel that 5th gear is more informative and actually focuses on the actual driving experience. But what would I do without the mighty wit of Jeremy Clarkson? Their "challenges" are also a blast to what. What would you watch if you can only watch one?

+1 I would mainly have to go for the entertainment value of Top Gear for the whole show, but I will watch individual clips of specific cars on Fifth Gear on youtube.

5th Gear is a good show too. But c'mon you gotta love Top Gear. Even girls like to watch Top Gear...that's how broad the entertainment value is on Top Gear.
5th Gear is more about technical data and their videos usually are real reviews of the cars. But then again...I prefer Driver's Republic on this end. |

5th Gear.
I used to like Top Gear, but Jeremy Clarkson is a biased shithead who constantly trashes brands he doesn't favor (Porsche especially). Plus Tiff would kick Clarkson's ass in a real race.

Do you notice that 5th gear has tried to be funny lately? Like testing all those useless stuff. Are they trying to mimic topgear? I think that 5th gear should highlight their strength of having real racing driver and cut that wannabe funny shit out. Afterall, if we want funny, we got clarkson.

Top Gear - Over-the-top entertainment
5th Gear - Factual entertainment I enjoy watching TG more, but FG can be better when it comes to comparos.

And I hate that curly-haired shit on 5th gear. His reviews are HORRIBLE. Honestly, worst reviewer ever.

He actually does like Porsche. And he has great respect for the Corvette ZR1 even though he typically trashes American cars. That is true |
