Great Top Gear episode

A Mercedes supercar, cheap and cheerful econoboxes, the usual celebrity timed run, a Subaru rally car and a comparison of small cars that ends with a surprise recommendation:

Top Gear Season 13 Episode 3 (Full Episode) - Car Videos on StreetFire

Watch the entire episode or skip to the small car (with dogs) comparison at 44 minutes in.

Let me know if anyone finds just the segment in question. Don't have the bandwith for the entire episode

That was a good one... especially when the St.Bernard in James May's car sneezed into the camera lens

I missed the smart. It was at 44 minutes like he said but you have to pretty much download the whole thing and then fast forward to it. Took forever on my ssssslllllloooooowwwww bandwidth too. I liked all of the cars.

They tested the three "best" small cars (including the iQ) and then finished up by driving past a block long group of Fiat 500s - which they "forgot" to test. Looks like the 500 is the next big (or is it small?) fad.

It seemed like the Fiats all had their lights on. It was like a Fiat meet and greet.

That is a funny show.
I thought the IQ was pretty cool looking, nice interior.
Europe has some neat cars
