Top Gear, I find Fifth's format less fluid, and it's not as interesting to watch. I don't mind Tiff though.

That really did not do the program the justice it deserves, example the new audi R8 fifth gear tested the V10 version and I had to say tested the crap out of it but top gear did not really do the car justice with a little race (v8 version) against a porche caymen.

Top gear ... easily!! Don't get my wrong, I do like 5th gear when I catch it on TV, however I have multiple seasons of top gear and I can't get sick of watching them!!

5th Gear ftw
Agree with the original post, Top Gear has too much farting around, not enough proper car tests.
Clarkson doesn't even know the difference between hp & kw.....

I think it really depends what your after... if your after a stright up car review program, then 5th Gear seems to be the go (aside from the female presenter 
), but if you've after some car eye candy, a eargasm from the car soundtracks and some enjoyable banter between the lads, then Top Gear ftw.
And Clarkson has never pretended to know about how cars work and the technical aspects. In most cases when he starts talking about the techical aspects of cars he just takes the piss out of himself and talks about the 'bi-turbo black magic'.
The one segment I DON'T like on Top Gear is the 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' segment. I always FF through that unless it's like an F1 driver or say Guy Ritchie, Vinnie Jones, etc.
