Sensibly Priced Small Cars

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

The credit crunch is confronted head on as the boys attempt to find three sensibly priced small cars that won’t make you miserable, a process that involves haranguing bankers, harnessing large dogs, and almost getting arrested. Plus, James meets American stunt driving legend Ken Block, Jeremy tests the mildly insane Mercedes SL Black on the track, and Michael McIntyre is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Our Take

A tight, funny hour that actually justifies its premise, with the cheap car challenge delivering the best material as the trio bicker their way toward something close to a conclusion. Ken Block’s segment with James is a real highlight, and McIntyre brings genuine energy to the interview. The SL Black test is fine but feels like filler. Worth your time.
