I haven't seen the fiesta over e46 m3 episode, but overall I've enjoyed watching his take on various cars, even if he isn't as thorough or perhaps knowledgable as others are. I don't think he was all that critical of the m5 in this video.

If the nav failed to get me somewhere, I'd be annoyed as well. While this has never happened to me, I've certainly heard of this happening to others - especially after BMW switched from Navteq to Teleatlas around 2010(?) - have they switched back yet?

Beyond that, I'm curious to know about this bouncing which is also evident in the video -- I wonder if he knew about/adjusted the suspension setting from the default 'comfort'.

Anyway - his rundown at the end was certainly positive, if delivered somewhat begrudgingly.

Bottom line - I don't think personal attacks on Farah are warranted; he gave his impressions of the car as he is hired to do; you may not like his approach, but clearly others do. Personally, I enjoy his dude-bro style.
