Rover CityRover

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Who can reach Monte Carlo first: Jeremy in the new Aston Martin DB9, or Richard and James travelling by high-speed train? James secretly test-drives the new City Rover, and Jeremy drives the Lotus Exige around the Top Gear track and tries to stop the Army’s Apache gunship helicopter from getting a weapon’s lock. The Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Fay Ripley (Cold Feet, Reggie Perrin).

Our Take

A strong episode with a couple of wobbles, but Top Gear keeps its grip throughout.
