      Most cars arent designed to be fun, they are made to be as simple as possible to control so that less mistakes are made and keep people safe.

I think the audience has taken so well to Chris Harris because he acts like himself, which includes not always clowning around. Many of the post-Clarkson presenters who were not well-received were trying to be like the trio which included clowning around, but that meant the new presenters had to act a bit fake, which is why many people didn't like their presenting. So while Chris Harris might be marginally better if he clowns around more he can't stray to far away from himself. If he did he be just like all the post-Clarkson presenters who aren't on Topgear anymore.

Modern cars are getting more and more crap, not only is the last tiny bit of anarchical fun taken out of it, it constantly tells you what to do and does so itself if you don't.
