In this episode, the trio group tests three "sporty MPVs" to see if there is one, or if it's a marketing gimmick. Mike updates on the car dumping campaign, and Trevor Lovell from the viewer reviewer competition tests his prized Volkswagen Lupo GTi.

Also in the episode, a chance to win a Lotus Elise for a year (until 10.01.2002).
