Ask any Top Gear fan what their top 10 best Top Gear episodes would be and you’ll probably get a different answer every time. With over 150 episodes produced and thousands of individual films contained within these episodes, there is an absolute gold mine of Top Gear out there.
Last year we released our 2012 Top 10 list of episodes, which was created based on our own personal opinions, plus some influence from episode votes on MotoringBox. But quite a lot has changed since then so we thought we’d better release a new one!
For the MotoringBox Top 10 Best Top Gear Episodes 2013, we’ve left our own opinions out of it completely and it is now based purely on our user episode ratings! The list now looks very different and it is easy to see that cheap car challenges are the most popular! We personally don’t agree with all choices, but it’s hard to argue with the majority of people!
So, we present to you the Top 10 Best Top Gear Episodes for 2013!
