[@jamesmiddleton8335]

As an owner of a 2011 twingo gordini 1.2, I must say it is a remarkable little car, it has been well past the top speed listed by Renault multiple times, it has drag raced all of my friend's cars and won, I have the cheapest insurance of all of my friends, the airbags almost work (vigorously tested), it picks up girls (vigorously te... OK a couple of times, hasn't let me down though), handbrake turns are good as long as you don't have new tyres, can seat 4 girls plus driver (it doesn't technically have a middle seat but she was 4'11) brakes are shockingly good (good enough to pull the shoulder of one of those girls), seats are comfy (6-8 hours before a girl starts complaining), rear wing is sturdy enough for someone to hang onto whilst riding a stake board. As you can see it does everything a teenager needs it to do, only thing I can fault is the stereo, but it's good enough.

[@frangotino]

As an owner of a 1993 twingo, I'd say that's pretty much on par

Geoffrey Top gear usually abuses cars. I can't call Top Gear a petrolhead show.

[@thorbjrnmadsen4984]

Mantas Jurksa Jeremy is a petrol-head, but not as a stupid petrol-head as Alex Kersten from Car Throttle.

[@MJ-uk6lu]

Thorbjørn Madsen Jeremy? I can't call him a petrol-head, when he has broken so many cars, some of them were destroyed and overall he doesn't really show much feelings for cars. he is entertainer, but not a good petrol-head. Alex is much better petrol-head and entertainer for me. Alex isn't stupid, Alex likes cars. he may not always make the best decisions, but enthusiasm is felt everywhere. While Jeremy doesn't show much enthusiasm. He didn't made Top Gear good for me. I'm pretty much always was interested in their projects with trips, budget cars, sometimes fun bullshitting, but that's it. Alex is more of petrol-head in his shows. He has good projects, passion for cars, interesting video, high quality content. CT for me is better than Top Gear (either new one or the old one). I also watch other KZbinrs about cars. One of those is Norbe (favourite video is drifting in 318). Back to the topic, I don't really like Top Gear much and I would be more interested in reading car history book. Their comedy with the time to me became really cheesy, low-end, full of mocking rather being fun. Jeremy is like old class clown. I don't appreciate that and he isn't very fun. I had better class clowns irl. Call me boring or whatever, I still won't like Top Gear's humor. Mr. Bean had better comedy with cars. The thing is that there are lots of better things than Top Gear and it on petrol-head scale to me is really low. Not much love for cars and being unbiased. For example Fifth Gear for me is more interesting. I would really appreciate if you won't attack me for my interests, because it's purely subjective. The only semi-objective thing is that I don't think, that Jeremy is petrol-head.
