[edit] In this Episode
Review: Jeremy reviewed the Citroën C2, the successor to the old Citroën Saxo. He found the C2 was cheap, extremely economical, easy to drive, and perfect for environmentalists and old people. As a car on the track, the hot C2 is not very good and has a terrible flappy-paddle gearbox. But merely because of free insurance, low prices, and ease of modification, he finds that it is the darling of customization-minded youths.
Challenge: After being unable to kill the Toyota Hilux pickup in the previous episode, James May places it atop a tower block being demolished to watch it fall. He takes bets with the locals as to whether or not it will still run, winning when it survives. The presenters decide not to keep brutalizing it, and they make a display in the studio out of it. 
Review: Hammond looks at two cars with folding metal roofs, the Renault Megane CC and the Peugeot 307 CC. They are fashionable and cool, but are ridiculously underpowered and heavy, sloppy to drive, and faddish in their market.
Review: May reviews the classic 70s Aston Martin V8 Vantage, saying if he could only drive one supercar for the rest of his life, it would be this one. May's review becomes a sort of history lesson, showing how the British differentiated their supercars by refusing unorthodox mid- or rear-engined configurations and keeping them with a modicum of practicality. However, at least in 1977, it was a resounding success: faster than a Ferrari Daytona, comfortable, and somewhat practical.
Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Sanjeev Bhaskar, a British comedian known for his travels in his native India/Pakistan, tells about horror stories he heard about India's roads, particularly one from Paul McGann. He sets a time of 1:51.5 despite having an ornamental tissue box in the back seat (as a tribute to Indian taxi drivers).
Review: Clarkson takes a spin in Australia's latest muscle car, the Holden Monaro, later sold as a Vauxhall in Britain, and a Pontiac in the United States. Jeremy calls it Australia's first contribution since the rotary washing line, claiming it is a good car due to fun V8 power and handling. He also makes numerous remarks about Australia losing to England in the recent Rugby Union World Cup final. The Monaro set a lap time of 1:33.9 in the wet.
