Like someone else said, Audi's press people give Fifth Gear whatever they have available. Audi was simply more accommodating than Nissan was, so blame Nissan there.

******** video.

Eh, the best driver got nudged out by a slightly worse driver in a better car. The worst driver took the Zed, and trailed on all three tests.

In short, I'd say those results were 95% due to the drivers and not the car, and are very inconclusive.

I complete disagree with this video. To be honest they used the convertible which is heavier and an automatic transmission. Not to say that the auto is no good because I have a Roadster in Auto, but the truth of the fact is the coupe with manual would of performed a lot better in my opinion.

I'd also say, throw in a more experienced driver and you would of gotten different results....

Wtf? More experienced driver? Do you guys know WHO Ben Collins is? He was the f-ing Stig on Top Gear for the past 5 years.

I'm not sad that our car is being compared to two cars that cost a minimum of $15K more. Just means I got a great deal!
