I thought I'd give the first episode a go having not watched Fifth Gear for a couple of years. No Tiff Needell, no Johnny Smith (have a listen to last Monday's Smith & Sniff podcast as to why) and it would work better with the elecric car element being a segment in the programme, not the whole thing.
What annoyed me about the cost of ownership comparison is that they used a 4 year PCP agreement - don't most people buying new small cars such as the (petrol) Corsa purchase outright and keep for longer?
