REVIEWS: Mazda RX-8 � Fiat Panda
CHALLENGE: Is a Toyota Hilux really indestructible?
Jeremy drives the Mazda RX8 and James drives the new Fiat Panda and is quite surprised when it doesn�t fall to bits. Richard looks at some modern classics, the Volkswagen Corrado VR6 and the Mercedes 190E 2.5 16 Cosworth. An 11-year-old diesel Toyota Hilux is tested for its durability by Jeremy. He drives in into a wall, a tree and through a shed. It�s left in the Severn Estuary, home to the second biggest tide in the world, hit with a wrecking ball, dropped and set on fire. They even drop a caravan on top of it, but still it works. Sadly, the same treatment wasn’t given to this week’s Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, Simon Cowell.
