Simple. The magnet weighs less than the car, so the magnet is going to be moving to the left. If the force is going to the left, that means the car can only go in reverse.

So the vehicle just needs turning around for this to work then or.....?

Nope, unfortunately now the car has been magnetized, and that would swap the polarity, making it move in the opposite direction, which is reverse again.
