    For those who are unfamiliar, Best Motoring is a Japanese car show that features and showcases sports and tuner cars and puts an emphasis on performance. Plenty of their "reviews" (so to speak) involve track time at Tsukuba Circuit (located near Tsukuba, Japan). They also have "touge" (pronounced toe-gay) which is basically a mountain run time trial.


    Here, they test a better equipped Insight (LS model), base 2nd Gen Prius (S model) a Civic Hybrid and a nicely equipped iQ (G model).

    The iQ comes with a 1.0 litre, 70hp engine. It weighs a mere 840kg and comes with an optional CVT (as equipped in the video)
