Good - I liked him from the start, main reason I found the first series almost watchable. Plus Chris Harris joining the A team is a positive move.

just watched the one last night where he reviewed the RR Dawn, really enjoy his commentary & humor, ok he's no clarkson but better than that Evans Twerp.

Will be interesting to see if the viewing figures will change though.

I'm happy with that - there could be a lot worse

....and there may still be!

Well i may just give it a go.
I only watched the 1st one with Evans and stuck to my guns I've not seen any since.
Will at least give Matt a chance.

I bet the left wing lovies at the BBC will be really relieved with my decision :wink:

Thought he was good after some early teething issues. Am still waiting (and hoping) that Jensen Button will be taking a larger role in the next series - he came across as a natural (and he broke Evans, which was a plus...)

Good news - much preferred Matt to the ginge who couldn't keep his breakfast down!

Chris Harris and Rory are also good news, but the show could easily do without Eddie (I know everything ever) Jordan!
