Jeremy Clarkson sets out to find the ultimate school-run machine by pitting a people carrier, a luxury SUV and a full-blown off-roader against one another, before taking the all-new Volkswagen Golf for a spin. Richard Hammond investigates the Subaru Forester, while the team discovers what a Jaguar XJ-S is really worth once all the unnecessary bits are removed. Elsewhere, The Stig attempts the entirely sensible task of racing a Radical SR3 against an aerobatic aircraft. And in the reasonably priced car, Gordon Ramsay tries not to swear.
