Chris Harris- the man who has been carrying the entire top gear show

[@182tev]

jon doe based on what? He’s a no bullshit journalist who can drive a car properly, who is presenting a car show.. 🤣

[@182tev]

This is exactly what I loved about the older Top Gear - "how do we feel about certain cars?" Keep these videos coming!

Top Gear should just be Chris Harris - no goofy gimmicks - just let Chris drive and talk. Maybe hire Henry Catchpole as well - just let him drive and talk.

Great job! Love these compilation videos. The Type R is a modern-day classic and the king of hot hatches. It has an amazing engine, manual and chassis all with usable back seats, a usable trunk, and performance that will make some supercar owners nervous. It just broke another record on the Suzuka Race Track. Keep up the great work Top Gear. No need to chase what you used to be, just continue to do what you do well and film Chris Harris talk about cars combined with that amazing cinematography.

The vehicular equivalent of a very expensive fine red wine. When it was first laid down it was criticised for being built for the PlayStation generation and some people stated you should have steered it with a controller. Now 8 years later one of the worlds most respected motoring journalists can't wipe the smile off his face when driving something he says has a deep soul and loads of character. What a brilliant car.

[@george_kimani]

I remember seeing this car on South African roads way back in 2008.. How time flies!

[@robinpratt1541]

Fabulous set of films Chris! What a variety, wonderful driving and outstanding cars. For me I would buy the Nissan because it seems to be the product of engineers who love cars. The last would be the Tesla because I feel electric may have a couple of step changes before it hits the spot and it isn't car enough. Thanks Chris just keep doing this please and leave the kids at home.

[@CB-rr9fe]

@@stefanpetrov8 I bought mine new last year (MY19 ) so I have only had the 12 month service which was about £350 I have gotten through one set of tyres at about 5000 miles and the brakes are 35% worn but I do push things when driving so I didnt think it's that bad. On average I get about 17MPG. If you're in the UK look on the litchfieldmotors website and they break down the serving cost up to 100k miles. I have just had the stage 4.25 done so I expect things to get more expensive now. 🤣
