4/5, speaking as a non-petrolhead who only watched CHM Top Gear for the laughs and isn't generally that interested in the cars. It was entertaining and I don't think I've laughed at a new Top Gear episode as much in a good few years. The three of them worked well together and I found their enthusiasm quite infectious, like CHM sometimes you knew what was going to happen but couldn't help laughing along. I found it better than some of the later CHM episodes (the quality started dipping for me after the Caravan Train and VW advert episodes), as examples of their road trips that felt tired in comparison I'd suggest Romania, Cherynobyl and India.
The main bad thing would be that once you've got the novelty of the new presenters out of the way you're left with another road trip episode, the show probably won't escape the endless comparisons with earlier presenters by recycling previous episodes.
