It has a review of the M3 CSL on the Isle of Man, a VW car jumping stunt, the roadster comparison (Boxster, Z4, S2000) on the Isle of Man.

Unfortunately, the links I had to download Top Gear episodes all seem to be down. If you want to look for it, its the episode that aired on November 2nd, 2003.

If you want to know some people who know their cars, just look to Car & Driver. They rated the S2000 over the BMW, Boxster, and others in two comparisons; one in 2000 where it beat the BMW M roadster (240hp), Boxster, and MB SLK in "Bending the Rules", and in "The Blow Dryers" which is articulated poignantly by Patrick Bedard where it beat the Z4 3.0, 350Z roadster, Boxster, and Audi TT.
That's a magazine that knows it's material.

Good show, I disappointed in how they showed the S2k for like 30 seconds. I wish they wouldve showed how the S2k would beat that "best sports car" boxster around that track that he was at.. Rethink their decision a bit. You would think in picking the best sports car they would factor in like "bang for the buck", because a 60k porsche boxster isnt bang for your buck.

I honestly don't care if the Boxster won. I think it's a great sport's car too, while not my first choice, I think it's worthy of the title. I would rather have the Boxster win than some of the other choices.

The M3 CSL bit in that one vid is OUTSTANDING. Clarkson is a very engaging host...
When I bought my first S2K (2001), I considered the Boxster S until I realized it would cost $20,000 more to be equivalent to the S2K (leather, HIDs, etc.). Not to mention, the S2000 was still faster!
The nail in the coffin for the Boxster was when I compared service costs. The 15K service from Honda was ~$120, while the same maintenance from Porsche was ~$350. Enough said...
I still want a GT3 really bad though.
