You are basing this on a guy that paid serious money for a Ford GT40 as a daily drive? Also he is incapable of using anything in a BMW unless it is the M-Division car. Remember he has had a Ford Focus for years as well.

Clarkson has always loved the GTI. He voted it as one the best car of the last hundred years from what I recall. He loved the Mk1 and hasn't said a bad thing about the Mk7. He owns the GTI he drove in the episode and has also had several loaner ones from VW including the R he lost and tweeted about last year.

The episode was pretty good. Makes me want a rhd GTI lol.

Clarkson has also chosen the mk7 GTI for at least one of their (mediterranean?) road tours where they had effective carte-blanche on choosing the perfect car for the job.

Apparently it's not just pub-runs, nuclear material transport, and drag racing that he likes about the car.

Why is this news? Clarkson owning a MK7 GTI has been published last year, it's not news anymore.

No real surprise here; before I bought mine, I read every review I could find, and almost every one of them said basically the same thing: "if we could only have one car, we'd have a GTI."

I'm not sure I've ever seen that sort of universal endorsement for any other car.

Miata, for basically the same reasons--it's not the best at anything, but in its class, it's the right package of everything.

That's because the GTI is a great daily driver.
