    Well I wouldn't exactly call it a review but if you don't mind having a laugh at the expense of a bit of destruction then it's worth watching

    Well the consumer advice is that the Tig is better at towing a caravan around the Top Gear circuit than CX-5 and it's quite capable in the mud.

    ...and that besides what Jeremy says he and James May seemed to having quite a bit of fun driving some little SUV's.

    Probably one of the best episodes in recent years.
    He should have got the petrol and chipped it so it had more power and torque

    I'm actually surprised he didn't have the Skoda Yeti in that mix, given that a few series ago he said it was the best car you could buy.

    I'm not sure the Top Gear "review" is going to provide you too much useful information to base your buying decision on.

    However both cars did remarkably well when compared to the caravans.

    The Yeti is just a Tiguan with a different body and interior.

    I cringed when they tried the auto brake in the CX-5 ON the Tigaun
    But R-line looking mint!
