Volkswagen’s Golf GTi first came to Britain in 1976 and soon became the choice of the fashionable set.

Jeremy Clarkson asks whether this latest version can beat the competition.

Since its launch in 1989, the original Land Rover Discovery has been Britain’s best-selling four-wheel drive. Tiff Needell tries out the new model to see what’s changed.

As motor racing returned last weekend to Goodwood in Sussex for the first time since 1966, Tiff Needell tells the story of the circuit’s revival and races a Lister Jaguar; Jeremy Clarkson tests the heavyweight contenders in the four-wheel drive market; and Quentin Willson reports on crash-test research on large cars.
Tập 11
The appearance of the luxuriously equipped V8-engined Seville STS marks the return of the Cadillac name to the British market. But will it tempt buyers away from more established makes, such as BMW and Lexus, as well as next year’s Jaguar S-type? Jeremy Clarkson test-drives it to see whether it offers a viable star-spangled alternative.
Tập 2
The Peugeot 205 was a practical, fun hatchback that many drivers found irresistible. Will the 206 be as popular? Vicki Butler-Henderson takes it for a spin. Jeremy Clarkson is given the chance to try out three executive motors, starting with a sporty little Italian model: the Ferrari 456M. He moves on to the Aston Martin Vantage and, finally, selects the Bentley Arnage. Will the Italian model prove superior to the best of British? Road-tests reveal all.
Tập 12
Steve Berry travels to Seattle to look at Jeep’s new Grand Cherokee, which is huge and available for the first time in right-hand drive. In contrast Vicki Butler-Henderson considers the tiny tearaway Tommy Kaira ZZ sports car, an open-top two seater which is Japanese but made in Norfolk.

Tony Mason looks back at two of Britain’s failed attempts to infiltrate the US market during the post war years: the 1949 Austin Atlantic, which was considered overpriced in relation to its power, and the 1950 Triumph Mayflower, an unpopular miniature variation on the Rolls-Royce. Plus a review of the latest version of the Subaru Legacy, a four-wheel drive with an urban appearance.
