Which are the best and worst reviewed cars on the Top Gear website?
Say above 16/20 and below 8/20?

I'm sure they don't provide a scale for the markings so it is a matter of what have you encountered.

Also what is your favorite car's ranking?

My two inputs:

Porsche 911 - 18/20

MG TF - 05/20
 
Perodua Kenari - 02/20 - I agree with them, why would anyone want to buy a tall, boxy, ugly, cheaply-made thing? There are much better cars out there, both new and used.

Nissan GT-R - 17/20 - I agree with this as well, it's a Nissan that will kick most supercars backsides.
 
Another one.

Ferrari 599 - 19/20 ,wow I didn't think they could ever give such high a mark, they believe it is ugly, so it would be a 20 had it the looks of a 458

Chevrolet Captiva - 06/20 ,uncool but practical. Nontheless, subpar.
 
I don't know if it's the worst, but I wasn't too happy about their review of the Corvette vs Audi R8. Stig drove both on the course and not only did the Corvette soundly beat the crap out of the much more expensive R8, but it also beat cars double...tripple+++ the price of the Vette. Clarkson goes on to say that while the Stig could drive the Vette to those limits....he (Clarkson) could not and he'd be faster in the R8. Well who's fault is that Clarkson??!!!??? The car's limitations or yours??? Was the Stig's performance on the course not the test of metal you guys use to show a car's performance??? The Vette easily bested the R8 there as well as several other cars far more expensive, why the negative dig on it?

Yes, I know these guys are very biased and I still enjoy the show, so whatever. I don't watch em for reviews of cars, I watch em like a comedy show.
 
I have a mission for you. Go and find the best and worst ranked cars of Top Gear. Let's have some laughs.

They are biased, but deep down inside all of them, they will give a Corvette its due and credit to automotive history.

What Clarkson said is perfectly reasonable. He knows he isn't a pro driver, as the majority of potential owners are not. As such the R8 is seen to be a more accessible drive for the everyman. It is easily feasible that a normal driver will be quicker in a 'slow' car that is easier to drive.

Also, the fastest car isn't always going to be best. The Nissan GTR is amazingly fast car, but is often said to be uninvolving or 'computerised' when compared to a 911 for example.
