Some four-wheel-drive off-roaders are becoming more like plush saloons. Jeremy Clarkson and Tiff Needell find out how well they handle on the road.

Tập 9
Jeremy Clarkson investigates the practice of “car chipping” by which computer boffins give a car a boost by reprogramming the engine management chip for speed rather than fuel efficiency. For as little as £200 it may be good value for money, but how will the insurance companies react, and will the engines be able to withstand it? Plus Quentin Willson reveals this year’s results in the Top Gear survey of customer satisfaction.
Tập 2
Buyers don’t expect many surprises when a new Escort-sized car appears. But, according to Jeremy Clarkson, the Alfa Romeo 145 is one motor that dares to be different.

Plus Tiff Needell tries out the new 911 Turbo Porsche, the first with four-wheel drive and a turbocharger, to find out how it compares with Porsche’s classic 959 model.
