Again, you're not responding to the issue presented: you have one singular source (Top Gear) with a few clips. Clarkson has promoted Diesel efficiency, but it seems like it wasn't until the BMW 330d did he finally come around. The question is "why is the Subaru Boxer Diesel a POS"???

I watch Top Gear on a regular basis, but I don't base a singular source such as this program on a determination. My "Worldview" comprises of at least 3 different sources (preferably independent and International) to even form a foundation for a loose opinion. Clarkson is a paid celebrity on a TV show -- hardly a solid source IMO. Merely entertainment.
