Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Jeremy Clarkson subjects the new Kia Cee’d to a thorough road test involving eels, curry, a rock legend, an American cop and a rather unusual game of rugby involving James May.Meanwhile, Richard Hammond is in Mexico for a nervous road test of the Mastretta sports car, a trio of hot hatchbacks tear it up on the test track and another top celebrity takes their turn as the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.
Our Take
This is Top Gear near full power, with the Cee’d rugby match delivering exactly the kind of daft, over-engineered nonsense the show does best. Hammond’s Mexican sports car segment is thinner, but the hot hatchback shootout picks the slack back up. A consistently funny hour that earns its high rating without breaking a sweat.
