The Reasonably Priced Car is a vehicle used in the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car (SIARPC) segment of the popular UK motoring show Top Gear in which celebrities attempt to record the fastest time around the Dunsfold Test Track.
To date there have been four Reasonably-Priced Cars, beginning with the Suzuki Liana. It set the standard for affordable pricing with its cost of £9995. It was followed by the Chevrolet Lacetti, Kia Cee'd, and Vauxhall Astra. The Vauxhall Astra as the most recent car was revealed in the first episode of Top Gear's twentieth series. However, due to the incident involving Jeremy Clarkson, the presenters had to be replaced along with the car with the introduction of Stars in a Rallycross Car in Series 23.
