Jeremy Clarkson Picks His Top 10 Cars - Is It Anywhere Close To Yours?

MY COLLEAGUE James May calls it “the fizz”. He says that when he is driving a really good car, its excellence manifests itself with a fizzing sensation in the root of his manhood. I have not experienced this myself, and it’s likely you haven’t either. But I sort of know what he means.

When you drive a Ferrari 488 GTB round a corner on a racetrack, it doesn’t feel like a tool that you’re operating. Or even a comfy, well-fitting glove. It feels like an extension of your very self.

It’s said that a blindfolded human being, sitting in pitch darkness, can sense the moment when a lion enters the room. He can’t see or smell or hear it but somehow he knows it’s there. Well, that’s the connection you get when you’re driving a Ferrari 488. You don’t know how you know when the front tyres are about to start sliding but you know nevertheless.

Looks like he's had a few drinks over 0.1 BAC. That explains the "fizzing sensation in ... his manhood".

Not sure how the Volvo can give someone this sensation, drunk or not.

GM should bring the Zafira Tourer to the US as a premium small GMC SUV. Its an excellent car - I was driven in one last time I was in the UK.

Really very good - it would make a great GMC. It seats 7 people (5 people and two small ones) and it has a wrap-up glass roof just like the Tesla Model X, but for 30% of the price.

Go for it GM!

It would make a good cab, but do not see Americans going for this micro minivan.
