One shots of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and a new member Areg Mirzoyan arguing about supercars and falling over every week.
I do not own Top Gear in any way, nor do I own The Grand Tour in any way.

ENJOY!
"...anyway. Moving on." Jeremy said. "We have given Areg a task to find a reliable 4 door saloon for under 10,000 pounds. Let's see what he bought."
We begin with some scenery of a park in London. Trees, grass, fresh air.
"This..." I began.

"...is the BMW 320i from 2004, and for a 4 door saloon with a 2.2 liter inline six, it's a good car and I haven't even spent my 10,000 pounds for it."
"I spent only 6,000 pounds for this car, which gives you extra 4,000 pounds for modifications..."
I opened the driver door of the car and got in.
"...such as this, factory infotainment system, which is rubbish. Replacing it with an modern infotainment screen will cost you about a 1000 pounds of your money and will improve the car drastically. That will also include a rear view rear camera and phone connectivity. You might want to spend the other 3000 pounds to improve the condition of the interior."
"The engine however is already good."
I opened the bonnet to reveal it's engine.

"If you import this car from Japan, the engine will need no serious work on it. Only fluid and spark plug replacement, which will cost about 180 pounds."
I took it for a drive in London.
"I can immediately tell that the steering wheel is tighter than it should be. It turns good but it's a bit hard to turn the wheel.
The car from the outside is rather small, but on the inside it is spacious. The only complain I have is that it doesn't have cupholders, which are essential.
The ride is surprisingly good. I mean, it's no S-class or 7 series, you can still feel the uneven road, but at least it doesn't rattle or bang or annoy you. So it's good."
I took the car outside of London to test it there.
"On straight roads like this the car is much better, the engine may be a dinky 2.2 liter producing 170 hp, but it moves. It moved quite well."
"Nought to sixty will take 7 seconds which is nice."
"And when you get to a corner, it handles well. It's a fun car to drive."
I pull over next to a high wall surrounded by grass and trees. I got out.
"You wouldn't even believe how practical this car is. I mean you look at it, it's very small. But when you open the boot." I did so. "More than enough space for your weekly shopping and some groceries as well."
"So there you go. A small size, fun, practical and reliable saloon for about 6,000 pounds. It is jolly good."

I'm back ladies and gentlemen, I am writing another Top Gear one shot.
I want to say that I did drive a BMW 320i just days before I wrote this. So whatever I wrote here is an honest review of a car I have actually driven.
