The first episode from the new series of Top Gear contains approximately 1,035bhp worth of track-only, outrageously aero’d Ferrari, and approximately… well, we’re not entirely sure how much bhp an old taxi, an old Merc and an old Volvo contain. Not much, probably.

What they do possess in spades however, is mileage. Matt, Chris and Rory attempt to answer a very sensible consumer question – finding the most reliable car on the market – using three very, very used cars. Why? Tune in to find out.

Oh yeah, the Ferrari The Ferrari FXX K – an amalgam of Maranello’s race-bred pedigree all packaged up into one glorious repository of noise, power and outrageous levels of tech.
