Martin Brundle provides a really engaging car review. Unlike other programmes that review cars, Brundle's film is expert as he actually knows what he's talking about and is able to distill it for an audience that may not. I immediately thought this was a great film as it does what it sets out to do so well yet it's a one off programme. Brundle settles in naturally as the presenter and has some great lines which any F1 watcher will be familiar with: one of my favourites is his review of the Jaguar XJ220 - he critiques the brakes and says : 'NEVER step out in front of a moving one of these...the brake pedal's simply somewhere to rest your foot on the way to an accident' brilliant! There were undoubtedly bits that might benefit from a tweak. Some of the background music could probably be altered. The format of driving on the road and then on the racetrack for all the cars makes it a little formulaic. It could have been mixed up a bit more. They did this a bit with a test drive of the Mercialago with a friend of the presenter, and the drive of the F40 round Hampstead. It would have been cool to drop in extra opinion from other racing drivers.Another plus though is when this came out in 2003 it was only Brundle's connections that got some of the cars onto the programme. The Enzo was RARE back then and was very difficult to get hold of for a review like this. Also at the end Brundle has a great review of the McLaren F1 and it's hybrids with a preview of the then unreleased McLaren SLR.It's just a shame that the hints given at the end of the programme about cars for the next video, including the Bugatti Veyron, never came to fruition. It would be nice if Brundle would bring another one out. Nothing as good has taken up the baton since in my opinion, as Brundle had the expertise and the presenter's patter down to a T.

I liked it but... really because it contains cool cars and few interesting reviews. However, Martin Brundle just is too critical at times, and the film sometimes has irrelevant reviews, e.g, reviewing the Ferrari F40 for its usability in town seems really stupid to me because Ferrari themselves said that it would never be a car intended for everyday chores in the project brief. It is a car registered for the road Yes but the town is not exactly its natural habitat so what's the point of reviewing the F40 in town??? He really bashed a great supercar like the F40 with this stupid music in the background, damaging this car's prestige for no reason...AND why the heck is he sooooo critical about those supercars!!??? Loving supercars is all about the passion, personal tastes and feelings towards the cars and he did NOT show this at all in this film... He seemed too much involved in finding the best supercar to be able to transmit the fun experienced in the supercars to the viewer. Brundle is too serious and critical. If you watch this, you will not experience the thrill and fun you get when watching Topgear, NOT AT ALL.All in all it wasn't that bad as it offered some cool eye-candy.
