Why does Jeremy Clakson hates Porsches?

[Bob930slant]

Why Does he hate them?..........because every time he tries to slide one through a corner it turns into a drift and then turns into a spin. It must be the car and not the Ham Fisted driver!

He is LIKE a dam woman
He says one thing and does an other !
Hate?
He just says it.....In real life he has to put up with "Prince Of Darkness" and all the Bull Sheet that goes with them
( Lucus )
He will love a jag, or a Land rover and any other thing that has the engine under the "bonnet '
He cant stand the rear design ....

There are plenty of women on this board and you owe them an apology for your sexist rant.

Furthermore you are missing his fabricated act about Porsches.

Maybe you should apologize to all of us for your lack of acumen

Because the Germans bombed Britain.... ;-)

I love my 911 but you must admit the engineering of them is rubbish! Engines that fall apart, break studs, leak oil, dash switched that cannot be removed without removing the entire front heater assembly, door mirrors with connector blocks that don't fit through the hole in the door, bizarre clutch operation with overcentering helper springs, dreadful gearchange even by 1970's standards (as stated in road reports of the era), oddest rear wiper operation, strangest delay wipe switch setup for the front, and as for spares prices, £450 plus tax for an auxiliary air valve, £350 for an oil cooler thermostat....... I could go on all day. I have had many other old cars, none of which suffer from such strange build philosophy.
Actually having spouted all of that out, I'm not sure why I still have mine??? Oh yes, I can't sell it because the engine is presently on my garage floor being repaired!!

Not much hate here The Clarkson review: Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (2013) | Sunday Times Driving

The steering system in the new Porsche works extremely well. If you turn the wheel anticlockwise, you go left. And if you turn it clockwise, you go right. If you do nothing at all, it goes in a straight line.

There’s more, too. If you push the seat back, you end up further from the windscreen. If you turn the heater up, you will be a bit warmer. And if you turn the radio on, music comes out of the speakers. Unless it’s tuned to Radio 4, in which case you get some Brummies talking about cows.

This is what the 911 has always been about. A taste of the exotic in an-easy-to- use, everything-works package. It’s bloody good value as well. Most interesting cars these days cost upwards of £200,000. They’re so expensive that I was surprised and amazed the other day to find the new Bentley Continental GT Speed is “only” £151,100. But the 394bhp sequential automatic Porsche 911 Carrera 4S I tested last week is a mere £90,346. And this, remember, is a 184mph car. So that’s proper performance with a Poundland price tag.

There are some lovely details. It has a satellite navigation system that has been loaded with a current map of Britain. Unlike, say, the Audi R8, which has been given a map not used since your farmer had oxen and all it said over Somerset was: “There be witches.” In one journey in the Audi it simply drove me into a field and gave up. The exact same journey in the Porsche was a breeze.

I also like the way that, in the Porsche, you can choose which sporty element you’d like at any given moment. In most cars, you push the Sport button and it alters everything; the gearbox, the exhaust noise, the steering and the engine response. In the 911 each one of these can be adjusted individually.

I should explain at this point that I am not a 911 enthusiast. But in the same way that a Chelsea fan will admit that behind the gum and the bad temper, Sir Ferguson is a bloody good manager, I can see this is a bloody good car...
