Jeremy Clarkson reveals his favourite cars of the last year
  • "It’s a cure for depression, this car, it really is. You just can’t be in a bad mood when you’re driving it." - Jeremy Clarkson
  • "I’ve never driven any mainstream road car that generated quite such an outpouring of affection as the Alfa Romeo 4C. Not ever. It was like I was whizzing about in a reincarnated blend of Gandhi and Diana, Princess of Wales." - Jeremy Clarkson
  • "From behind the wheel it seems as if you are sitting at the back of a supertanker. The bonnet is so vast that if it arrives on time, you will be 20 minutes late." - Jeremy Clarkson
  • "With the new Focus RS, you know after about 100 yards that it has created something very special. Even at James May speeds, on a roundabout in Hounslow, this car feels cleverer than is normal." - Jeremy Clarkson
  • "This is a machine that wants to turn its tyres into smoke and go round every corner sideways." - Jeremy Clarkson
  • "This car is so good in fact that it’d be ideal for those who find the offerings from Land Rover a bit — how can I put this? — pratty." - Jeremy Clarkson
  • "Never have I encountered any car, including the Rolls-Royce Phantom, that’s so good at refusing to transmit road irregularities into the cabin. Which makes it the most comfortable car in the world." - Jeremy Clarkson
  • "It’s not just fast in a straight line. It’s also fast through the corners. And not just fast, but a complete delight. It’s so good that in a few bends I was actually dribbling with joy." - Jeremy Clarkson
  • "The old 458 was not as good as a McLaren 12C. But this new car puts the prancing horse back on top. As a driving machine, it’s — there’s no other word — perfect." - Jeremy Clarkson
  • "Given the choice of any supercar, this is the one I’d buy. I admire the McLaren P1. But which would you rather have as a pet: a clever and sophisticated electronic robot? Or a bloody great brontosaurus?" - Jeremy Clarkson
