I was surprised............
The Golf vs Impreza bit seemed a bit odd to me.
The Impreza had better power to weight and 4WD (on a damp track), and when driving it she said how great the handling was and how much quicker you could put the power down exiting from corners. Yet it was way slower, and they almost seemed embarrassed when talking about the result?? Basically all they said was the Golf had better turn-in.

Only saw the second half, but it was refreshing to see a bit of realism in Plato's drive of the latest Elise - words to the affect of "this car is too uncomfortable and is over-rated"

Give them to someone who is a REAL driver rather than someone who is frightened of getting their fingernails broken, then the results might be different.

The flat spots in the Elise's ECU mapping sounded like a big issue to potential customers.
