Let Top Gear Host Chris Harris Give You The Answers to the 'What Car Should I Buy?' Exam
Let Top Gear Host Chris Harris Give You The Answers to the 'What Car Should I Buy?' Exam-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:44

If you’re on the hunt for a new automobile, sensible consumer advice can be hard to come by. You’ll spend many hours reading reviews, deliberating over how to spend your hard-earned cash, when really, what you should do is watch this four minute clip in which host basically gives you all of the answers.

“[The small SUVs are] all complete shitboxes. I’d have a Golf. Where’s the Golf? Ah! Here’s the Golf!” Chris Harris yells like a madman before declaring his blisteringly hot take:

Right, you can forget about all this stuff. Forget about all those SUVs and forget these hatchbacks. Just buy a Golf. It does a better job than all of these cars put together. Golf! Golf? Golf!”

Top Gear assembled 28 vehicles for Harris to assess in just a matter of a few minutes, and——Harris dispatches all of them with ease:

In some ways, the video feels like a roast—Harris goes after everything from the Hyundai i10 to the Renault Twingo to the Toyota Aygo, the last of which he calls “terribly cheap and horrible.”

The VW Polo and Mini also take some heat, and all the small SUVs are declared “shitboxes.” Harris describes the Discovery’s styling as “terrible,” and goes after the Hyundai Santa Fe and just large SUVs in general before telling the world how good the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class are.

He tells it like it is. So there you are: the answers to the dreaded “What car should I buy?” exam. You’re welcome.

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...
