Top Gear - Season 17 - Episode 4

1987-04-28? min⭐ 7.872/10

‘Discretion is probably exercised more in traffic law enforcement than in any other single area of the law.’ William Woollard asks whether this Oxford University research conclusion means a fair deal for the motorist stopped by the police. Sue Baker tests two new economical models competing in the crowded super-mini class, and visits Sweden to inspect a new anti-skidding device currently in production and a prototype computer-driven suspension system. Dan Cherrington, presenter of BBC1’s Farming, tests the new Isuzu Trooper on and off the road, and compares it with the popular Mitsubishi Shogun, and the all-British vehicle that created the market for sophisticated four-wheel-drive cars, the Range Rover. Strictly off the road, Chris Goffey reports on a ‘competition safari’: four-wheel drive is essential, but pots of cash are not.
