I've just had my best Driven experience.

I forgot it was on!

Just looked at the paper, apparently they tested (with jelly proberly) 3 affordable 4 wheel drive cars

And I missed it!

Will they have jelly in the 360/911/TuscanS next week, or will it just be how easy they are to parellel park in, or fit a child seat in?

Once again the results of the user poll for desirability were ignored. The Toyota got no votes yet they scored it the same as the others

Vantage and Focus reports were mildly entertaining.

Guys, chill out...

Take a tip from me, find somthing else to do at 8PM on Wednesday

I'm so glad I didn't see it, I normally only end up shouting at the TV or throwing my dinner at it.

I think C4 should by the rights to the old BBC test card thing with the girl/teddy/blackboard and put that out at 8PM - it would be better viewing

Weeelll all things considered its better than the shite on the other side.

"Who wants to be total ******** and answer these stupid questions and be humilated with no chance of winning this infeasibly large amount of money."

It may be crap but at least its better than Carbage, Top Geek etc etc.

Oh ... Driven 100 scores are done the same way as the ones on "Have I Got News For You" of course!

Never let the facts get in the way of ....

I thought the best test was trying to drive over the speed bumps at 25 mph. Oh my god, don't they know you're supposed to slow down! It was
bordering on irresponsible.

...and driving over the pavement within inches of pedestrians.

They should have done a slalom test to prove (or not) how badly offroad style vehicles handled compared with proper cars. That would be more useful than seeing how well they can pull an Astra out of a muddy puddle - which is more a test of the tyres than the vehicle.

You mean they were testing softroaders and didn't measure 0-60 times or high speed cornering capability? Did they test to see how many kids you could squeeze in for the school run?
What is television coming to?

Actually, it was the Nissan X-trail that got no votes for desireability by those welly wearers. It's all shite anyway as the RAV outsells the others by about 10-1 !! Not that I have any involvement with them or anything

the best way to watch drivel?....drink half a bottle of vodka or a bottle of industrial strength scrumpy, stick a piece of paper with shapes cut out over the screen and try and guess what car the jelly test is in
