He doesn’t seem to like it much

It is difficult to know just what he does like!!

Probably sees himself as some kind of uber-reviewer but he has long since crossed the line to become just an old grump IMHO, that is

I haven't read the review as yet but I just think for some reason he does not like Porsche ( the company).

What's not to like about the cars.

I've been waiting 4 years for him to review the Macan.

He reviewed the 2 litre and he thought it was slow (only 0-62 in 6.7seconds) and he also criticised the ride. Most critics reckon it's the best handling SUV but that seems to have passed him by. He might have preferred my 3 litre petrol with air suspension but he seems to find fault with most things except silly, impractical supercars. He's a dinosaur and his column, once a compelling read, is very mediocre nowadays.

It's not just his hearing that's going, seems like his car "analysis" too.
Then again, it's the 4 cylinder Macan so he might prefer more power, and also he loves Land Rover ģroup and Italian cars. So Porsche will never get him drooling. His loss. I still like him though.

Who cares what Clarkson thinks?

Hammond champions Porsche; so Clarkson will not!

Guys, JC is a journo and an entertainer, not a professional driver. He mocks most things and people seem to like his programs. I even have his book, for light entertainment.
BUT I would never buy a car on his advice.
He seems to like Mercedes 600 Grosser, supercars, tractors and other impractical vehicles. It’s fun to watch, nothing more nothing less.

+1, Nick.

For some, his ‘comedy’ is entertaining, but he is not my cup of tea.

As for a serious motoring journalist, not any more, if he ever was.

His views would not sway me either way on a car buying decision.

Give me someone like Henry Catchpole or Chris Harris any day.

Clearly! When he complains about the ride quality you just know he's talking out of his backside!
