V-tech engines are the best in the world my truck has it.
Just miss a time where, let's face it, you couldn't really make a wrong decision here. All their arguing and really it came down to price and personal taste, as they're all two seater droptops within 0.4s on a track. Simpler times.
No proper man would ever say or think the Z4 is a man's car 😅
Some say he won Russian Roulette with a fully loaded revolver
Z4 = dead steering
Jeremy is right for miles
I'd be impressed if he could stay in his lane
I'll gladly take this Honda.
The Z4 is a hairdressers car not a mans car Hammond
It was raining considerably harder for the S2000 lap - I believe its the faster car anyway.
This is my favorite segment of the entire series. A true candid moment with the boys who are all in good temperament.
The Z4 is way too ugly to consider, despite a nice engine. And it's probably the least sporty and fun of the three. The S2000 has fans, but it's tail happy and doesn't really feel powerful unless you rev the nuts off it. It's also by far the least refined. The Boxster is refined, has perfect handling, and is attractive in it's own way. Even aside from the fastest lap, it's the clear winner.
In their entire car review history, they have never reviewed Suzuki cars. Never.
S2000 aged like a fine wine
23 years later... Jeremy was right
Time has proven Jeremy’s right
All 3 are some of the last true roadsters ever produced. Unlike the plastic neutered computers on wheels they make today.
As of 2026, all three of these cars are no longer in production
S2000 is more expensive nowadays 😂
Always loved when May won. He so rarely did. Richard beating Jeremy was always pleasing as well
