In search of the ultimate family car, the Top Gear team try out the futuristic, Renault Espace; the mid-size SUV, Volvo XC90; the compact, Subaru Forester, and the four-wheel drive, Toyota Land Cruiser. Next, the boys compare the best hot hatchbacks--the high-performance, Volkswagen Golf R32, Honda Civic Type R, SEAT Leon Cupra R, and Ford Focus RS--as Jason and Richard put on a diet a 1995 Jaguar XJS V12. Meanwhile, the Scottish chef,
Gordon Ramsay, has to taste Top Gear's gastronomic delights--a succulent turkey breast with porcini mushrooms strapped to Subaru Forester's flat-four engine, and a mouth-watering rack of lamb prepared on the engine of a Lada Riva. In the end, the Stig warms up a Radical SR3, for a dogfight with the super-fast competition aerobatic plane, Mudry CAP-232.
