      Well, i really think he has changed. On the videos slightly (Chris Harris would never come up With that funometer BS), but specially during the shows. Everyone knows top gear is scripted, and i personally dont like the "role" they give to Chris. But in time, BBC will understand that he is the main presenter and the main reason for many of us to watch the show.

    • @illusional1
      @illusional1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      that's my thought as well. the Funometer was maybe one of the scriptwriters thinking they need to do something funny. if that is chris' idea then better leave these idea in the closet. i miss the charismatic setting chris did in the past on his videos. be yourself chris. imitation is never working.

      I’ve driven the M2 ok I call it BMW ABORTION first it’s the size of a cell phone it’s construction is at the bottom of the barrel and NOT A TRUE M CAR.
      I could not get out of it fast enough and be lined it to the M3
      So much better in every way I bought the M3.
      But for those who can’t afford a real BMW then the 1 or 2 series are a nice starter/trainer car
      Now I drive the f10 M5

    • @illusional1
      @illusional1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      i agree. Chris tries a mask here and he seems artficial. Clarkson May or Hammond had each a character set of their own. trying to imitate that or wanting to put a spark to the show now is a hard task. harris will never be a clarkson and neither of the other two. anyways. i liked his reviews in the past and his own way or setting it up. this here is not really a good harris thing.

    in the scene where he talks about the missing oil temperature you actually see the oil temperature. right under the coolent temp, they just left the numbers out but the bar is still there and tells you when you can floor it ... how do people back then and even now still get this wrong.
    upper part = coolent temp (says "ok" when warm)
    lower part/line = oil temp (goes from cool to functioning temp to overheating)

    @Hilmanpanjifirdaus 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    to be honest, in my perspective i prefer top gear over the grand tour, especially last several episodes into the 23rd season with more presence of chris harris and rorry read (pardon me if i spell his name wrong). chris evans never actually nailed it, but at least he tried. and he made a good decission to leave. the grand tour was the old top gear, always hillariously funny, rich with unusual stand point toward automotive industry, very strong in showcasing their political views and the grand tour is more to entertaiment rather than motoring content. not to say it is bad, absolutely not. to some people it is enjoyable to watch as i have watched all aired episodes yet. it was fun. but to me personally, top gear served me a more balanced dose between entertaiment and importantly interesting delivery on automotive content. i always love how they, the new trio, described their thought on cars they drive. it is like watching an article in road and track magazine being visually read in a real life action.

    @michaelgoodwin593 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well I quite like the direction Chris seems to be going. Right now he is half way between his old Chris Harris on cars style videos and top gear entertainment style episodes, talks petrol head language, gets to the point and gives us a good idea on the car itself, but at the same time has moved toward a top gear presenter style of acting (think the business man comparison and sales person bits). If he maintains that then I rekon he will win the hearts of his old fans and the top gear fans.

    It takes you back and then you realise that a E23 7-series from the 80ies was lighter than this M2.
    This car is very heavy, full of electric motors for everything from the mirrors to the seats and to be honest over 4,4m or 174.6 in length isn't what anyone calls small or compact.
    A Fiat 500 is small, length 3,5m or 139.6 inches.
    A BMW E46 M3 CSL had 1,385 kg, this M2 has ~1550kg.

      With nowadays EU-regulations building a sportscar with 4 seats weighting under 1400 kg would probably cost a million.

  • @evanescent0311
    @evanescent0311 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    man that RS3 sounded nice though! I like the M2 for sliding about, but the RS3 would definitely make the better car for daily driving purposes, since I have kiddos. ideally, get both. RS3 for the more mundane days, and the M2 for hitting the track and hitting some back roads for a bit of car rotation.

    You like your car reviews then Chris Harris is the best out there, and by a margin! It's not meant to be about Chris and his lifestyle, (might add a certain je ne c'est quoi), but about the cars. RS3 nice every day transport but M2 unequivocally for excitement.

    • @unfound23
      @unfound23 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      smh over 70% of the actual brake force is applied to the front wheels, a classic weight distribution for fwd/front engined cars is over 65% at the front.
      When you brake the mass of your vehicle including the brake momentum is tranferred to the front wheels, lifting the back axle up.
      Which translates to oversteer under hard braking while turning into a corner.
      The trick for driving an fwd car is the same as in rwd cars, apply power gently and feed it in as you exit the corner otherwise youll provoke slip which in both cases causes the driven axle to lose traction.
      In an fwd car even loss of steering control.
      Most drivers make the big mistake of overdriving fwd cars, braking too hard while turning in or applying to much steering input therefore overloading the grip capacity of the front wheels, which leads to understeer.
      You should know what you´re talking about before you call someone out.
      And tbh, in most cases fwd/fe cars have a big weight advantage over rwd/fe cars which leads to better handling.
      As we all know, grip and handling are two completely different animals, don´t we?
