Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy and the Stig race two Caterham 7s around a circuit in Scotland, but Jeremy needs to build his own car from scratch first. Richard and James road-test the Ford S-max, the Mercedes B200 turbo and the Vauxhall Zafira VXR – three family cars that promise a bit of excitement. Plus comedian Steve Coogan is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Our Take

Very good — not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why Top Gear works.
