Do you think the cars they test are fully broken-in in accordance with the user manual?
No chance.
They've been driven by the journos from day one and they've been hammered from day one!
Have you noticed that somehow the cars they test do better 0-60 and 1/4 mile then the times the owners get?
By now you should know the answer.
Not saying your wrong. However, I've seen somewhere can't remember where, that Top Gear break a lot of cars making their shows.
