- Top_Gear_(series_3) shortsummary "Intro: A Cut-Price Top Gear as the team claim to their entire budget was exhausted for the series, proven by them showing several short highlight reels of the various ways the money was spent. To commemorate the occasion, James plays the theme tune on a Casio keyboard as Richard re-introduces the show. Review: Jeremy drives the Chrysler Crossfire; he has severe problems with the looks, handling, power, quality, and manual gearbox. Richard and James use vivid language to explain how bad the automatic gearbox is. Jeremy is so intrigued that he vows to one day drive an automatic Crossfire. Review: Hammond briefly drives the Smart Roadster Brabus V6 Biturbo. As a special one-off model created by gluing two three-cylinder turbocharged engines together, it has a massive price. Hammond does not recommend it, even with the improved performance, because of the shoddy gearbox. 2003 Top Gear Awards: Car of the Year goes to the Rolls Royce Phantom. Ugliest Car of the Year goes to the entire BMW range. The Most Fun Car of the Year goes to Vauxhall VX220 turbo. Enemy of the State goes to the Chief Constabul of North Wales Richard Brunstrum. The Surprise of the Year goes to the Jaguar XJ6. Review: James reviews the Jaguar XJ6. Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car: Carol Vorderman does a lap in 1:51.2, on a MM track . Main Review: Hammond introduces the Honda Civic Type-R and drives the eager hot hatch until it is revealed they have enough money to introduce a relatively cheap supercar, bringing out the Honda NSX Type R, with its V6 engine tuned to make . Hammond says the car is the bargain of the century, and finds it scintillating to drive on a dry track, but still too expensive for anyone to pay for a Honda. In the wet it isn't as amazing; it does a lap of 1:31.6, only slightly slower than the Porsche 996 Turbo in the same conditions, but with 100 fewer horses. Skit: Simon Cowell accepts an award for being the fastest celebrity of the year. A cool customer, he isn't scared at all when the Stig drives him around the Top Gear test track in a Noble M12. However, since his taped acceptance speech is smug and self-satisfying, Jeremy shows the audience an outtake of Noble spinning out when Cowell is behind the wheel.".
- Top_Gear_(series_3) shortsummary "Main Review: Clarkson tests the 1.3 litre Wankel Mazda RX-8 on the track, saying that despite the mixed styling it performs well and for £22,000 is good value for money. Though appearing to be a coupe, the Mazda retains small rear doors and has some of the practicality of a four-door saloon. The Stig sets a lap time of 1:31.8, being the same as the BMW M3 and the Nissan 350Z, to which Clarkson remarks that the Mazda be the better car in all ways: performance, handling, price, practicality, and comfort. Feature/Review: Hammond looks at several cars deemed to be good investments as future 'classic' cars. These include the Volkswagen Corrado VR6 and the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Cosworth. Crock or Classic: Hammond and May decide which cars are future classics and which are crock. Lexus LS400 is crock, Ferrari F355, BMW Z1, Citroën XM, BMW 3.0 CSL, Volkswagen Corrado VR6 and Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Cosworth are classic. Challenge: The team set the challenge of finding the best wig for a fast drive in an open top convertible. They find that the cheaper, synthetic wigs fare better at high speed, and that optional wind deflectors are effective at keeping the wig on your head at high speed. Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car: Sony BMG executive Pop Idol/X Factor judge Simon Cowell set a time of 1:47.1. Cool Wall: Daihatsu Copen is uncool; Mazda RX-8 is cool; Nissan 350Z is uncool; Lamborghini Gallardo is uncool; BMW M3 is Seriously Uncool, as Jeremy said that the M3 is "exclusively driven by cocks" . Review: May reviews the new Fiat Panda at St Albans and Tewin in Hertfordshire. He expresses astonishment that the Italians have made a car that is durable and well-priced. It is slow, but May considers that unimportant to the character of the car. Main Challenge/Feature: How tough is a Toyota Hilux pick-up truck? Clarkson decided to find out by performing a number of tests on the robust vehicle, where he drove to Bristol , ramming it into buildings and a tree while out in the country, before leaving it on a beach along the Bristol Channel, to be hit by an incoming tide. This test nearly lost him the vehicle, when the chains securing it nearly went, but the pick-up was found and, upon repairing it, it managed to still function. Once back at the test track, the Hilux endured more tests dreamed up by Clarkson, including hitting it with a wrecking ball, smashing it into a shed, dropping a caravan on it and setting it ablaze. The car still managed to work afterwards, when it was brought back into the studio, with Clarkson pointing out to the other presenters that the vehicle's parts were not replaced at all, only mended to avoid him cheating and wasting his efforts proving it's reliability.".
- Top_Gear_(series_3) shortsummary "Main Review: Hammond tests several new Mini Coopers, finding trouble telling much difference between most of them: the BMW-official Works Cooper S, and the third-party tuned Hartge Cooper S, Digi-tec Cooper S and wild BBR Cooper S. Despite it being the most expensive and second slowest, Richard chooses the official model, favouring a warranty and more assured engineering over the small improvements in performance afforded by the others. Feature/Review: Due to the 40th anniversary of car company Lamborghini, Hammond and May test some classic cars. Hammond tests the 1967 Lamborghini Miura, commenting on its controversial, trend-setting styling and engine positioning; and rides in an improved 1971 SV version with its owner, musician and supercar enthusiast Jay Kay. May tests his childhood dream car, the Lamborghini Countach, finding it as fast and great-sounding as the bedroom posters suggested, but utterly terrible to drive, ride, and especially to park. Clarkson shows the Lamborghini LM002, a huge V12-engined SUV, and marvels at how much fuel it drinks and its comically poor handling. The modern Murciélago returns for a second power lap , and proves the Black Stig's supposition that it would top the board with a dry track, setting a record time of 1:23.7. Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car: American comedian Rich Hall improvises a country song about a Rover 25, while setting a time of 1:54. Review: Clarkson tests the new Lamborghini Gallardo. He finds the Gallardo to be a good sports car, but just a bit boring in comparison to the Murcielago, having lost some of its fire and lunacy. Stig sets a lap time of 1:25.8.".
- Top_Gear_(series_3) shortsummary "Review: Clarkson reviews the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and tests the off-road abilities in Bovington, Dorset. It is a brilliant car from a technological standpoint; equally adept both as a sports saloon and an offroading monster. Jeremy does not care, nor does he care that it guzzles petrol, has little space inside, and costs a whopping £70,000. But he can not stand it for its looks, saying it is "less attractive than a gangrenous wound, is a monkfish among cars and has the sex appeal of a camel with gingivitis." Jeremy hates its looks so much that he leaves it and walks back to the studio. May agrees that it is so hideous that it should not be bought by anyone. Review: Hammond reviews the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in South Africa. He isn't impressed, especially by the brakes, hard ride, and interior quality. Back in the Top Gear studio, Richard and Jeremy engage in a game of Top Gear Top Trumps pitting Hammond’s experience with SLR McLaren against the Porshe Carrera GT, which Jeremy drover earlier in the year. They conclude that the Porshe is more the driver’s car, but that you’ll want the Mercedes if you are a golfer as your clubs will not fit in the Porsche. Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car: Rory Bremner reads car adverts in the voices of Nelson Mandela, Julian Clary, Prince Charles, and talks about his meeting with Murray Walker. He set a time of 1:47.9. Main Review: MG XPower SV, which Jeremy finds to be beautiful and with a powerful, throaty Ford Mustang V8. It is fast on the track, but poorly made, insanely expensive, and less reliable than a TVR or any foreign rivals. Richard later mocks Jeremy when he hits his head on the interior. Did a lap of 1:28.6 in the dry, better than a Porsche 911 Turbo in the wet, but was not good enough to beat any of its price-range rivals. Challenge: Top Gear boffin burn-out! Which professor can do the best burn-out? Richard challenges Heinz Wolff, Brian Sewell and Colin Pillinger compete to find out. Review: Clarkson, Hammond and May set off to find the best British car. Clarkson chooses the Noble M12, Hammond takes the Morgan Plus 8, and May picks the Rover 75. Clarkson manages to drive the M12 around the track, get out, and read a book before Hammond crosses the line. None of them change their mind, but the audience selects the Noble as the best.".
- Top_Gear_(series_3) shortsummary "Review: Hammond looks at two cars with folding metal roofs, the Renault Mégane CC and the Peugeot 307 CC. They are fashionable and cool, but are ridiculously underpowered and heavy, sloppy to drive, and faddish in their market. Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car: Sanjeev Bhaskar sets a time of 1:51.5. Review: May reviews Aston Martin V8 Vantage, saying if he could only drive one supercar for the rest of his life, it would be this one. May's review becomes a sort of history lesson, showing how the British differentiated their supercars by refusing unorthodox mid- or rear-engined configurations and keeping them with a modicum of practicality. However, at least in 1977, it was a resounding success: faster than a Ferrari Daytona, comfortable, and somewhat practical. News: Jeremy & Richard discuss automotive themed Christmas presents including the Bumper Dumper, a Ferrari gear lever sink plunger, and a NASCAR Jeff Gordon love seat. Main Review: Holden Monaro, sold as a Vauxhall in Britain, Australia's first contribution since the rotary washing line. Jeremy says it was a good car due to fun V8 power and handling and makes numerous remarks about Australia losing to England in the rugby world cup final. Lap time of 1:33.9 in the wet, Jeremy named the car "Loser" on the power board. Review: Jeremy reviewed the Citroën C2, the successor to the old Citroën Saxo. He found the C2 was cheap, extremely economical, easy to drive, and perfect for environmentalists and old people. As a car on the track, the hot C2 is not very good and has a terrible flappy-paddle gearbox. But merely because of free insurance, low prices, and ease of modification, he finds that it is the darling of customisation-minded youths. However, he recommends buying a Toyota Yaris instead, attributed to Citroën's poor performance in reliability surveys. Cool Wall: The Holden Monaro is cool; the Peugeot 307 CC and the Renault Megane CC are also cool - but only for a moment, before they fall down to the uncool section. Challenge/Feature: Killing A Toyota . James May sees what else can be done to the same pick-up from before, by placing the battered but still working Toyota Hilux on top a tower block that was due for demolition. Once the building was brought down and the dust had settled, the truck was found to still be intact, and when checked and mended by a mechanic, it managed to still run, and much to the amazement of the other presenters when it was brought into the studio, where James confirmed that the vehicle had not received any new parts. The presenters decided from that point onwards, not to keep brutalising it, and made a display of it in the studio, which they have still retained to this day.".
