But one of the reason he likes it, it's becuase its "Not direct injected", and "six-speed"!
On the Top Gear test track, it was a disappointment. Around the corner we call Chicago, almost all cars will lurch into oversteer as the camber changes. But not the GT3. It understeered. A lot.
Despite this, I enjoyed the man/machine interface. Unlike lesser 911s, it had no direct injection, and the gearbox was a standard six-speed manual. It even made proper engine noises

I like this comment of his:
Totally true, even if it is becoming less true in this day and age.
One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that if you drive into London at 6am, half of the cars on the roads are Porsches and Astons. Whereas if you go in at ten to nine, they’re all Renaults. Simple solution, then. You want a nice car? Get up earlier and do more work.

As much as Clarkson doesn't like Porsches too much, he's absolutely the best Auto TV journalist, true Petrol head, and car lover on TV for the last 10 years or so.
I also love the way he's not politically correct and says it how it is. Although his comments are mostly for British audience, I totally can relate on how they mock the politician's stupidity when it comes to road rules, stupid speed limits and radars where it's not needed, wrong green push and technologies that's gonna destroy the car industry, and to have the ***** to call a car crap, when it is (which other program does that?).
I think you should give one credit, when declaring "I don't care too much for Porsche", while reviewing one, instead of ones who don't declare their bias but find an excuse to give a bad review to a good car!
Cannot wait for the next season to start!

I have to agree to...he can describe a car to a tee. You don't get that from other TV show hosts except Tiff Needle from 5th Gear.
