And there you have it. Is the Fiat Panda really the ultimate driver’s car, as James is still insisting? Have Jeremy and Richard earned the right to direct the next film in the Bourne franchise? Is front wheel drive the cornflour to rear wheel drive’s roux? And is Ryan Reynolds the world’s luckiest man?
Hope you enjoyed the show – let us know your answers to these questions and any other thoughts as usual in the handy space below.
We’ll have more behind-the-scenes action in the week ahead, including a Valentine’s Day treat for all female TopGear.commers on Tuesday, with more video from Ryan Reynolds.
See you then…

Top Gear at it’s best, 10 out of 10 guys. I feel Series 18 is getting back to the old magic again, things don’t seem quite as rushed and not so slap stick cheap. Maybe the longer gaps between the Series is allowing more time to produce better quality entertainment. The presenters seem to be more relaxed and genuinely enjoying the filming again.
The news section this week showed that magic chemistry between them at its best, SIARPC was a great interview and although you knew the Sweeny film would go wrong you were never quite sure when or how, and that, for me, is the essence of the brilliance of this weeks show. Yes, things are scripted, yes they act up to the camera, yes things will go wrong but it was done in a believable way and that’s the difference between success and failure. It’s that hint of reality that makes all the difference. JC seems to be allowing a little more air time for James & Richard and isn’t dominating them too much. Brilliant balance, keep up the good work and I’m glad you’ve found your way again. Back in Series 14 it was starting to go a bit wrong.

All of you complaining prats sound like fair-weather fans: you love the team when it wins but abandon it when it struggles. You’re useless and Top Gear does not cater to you which is why it’s been around for so long. And that’s good for the rest of us.

I only wish I didn’t live in America so I could have access to some of these amazing cars. I would love to have a Fiat Panda, I agree with James as it is a great car, and amazingly fun to drive.
