Well yeah, a new car should smell good. If it doesn’t then you won’t enjoy it, meaning it’s a bad car and that you shouldn’t buy it. It is good to note though that the “new car smell” is actually slightly hazardous as it’s all the chemicals, carcinogens, and car juices coming off of the parts and pieces. Not really much to be worried about, same diff as like Aspartame in soda and radioactive potassium in Bananas.

@@MilkDrinker218 New cars smells like shit imo

I remember Jools Holland saying that when he came on the show

Any car should smell good. Or not like 97.3 cartons of newport

Also, it should be noted that "smells good" is not the same as dumping a barrel of deodorant and fresheners in it. With those stuff, there's always too much that it would be unpleasant.

Maybe they meant that younger guys shouldn’t have facial hair?

Constant crashing turns you into mini Tony Stark, Getting headbutted by the government regulations for farming will add some grit to your face and then theirs just making Gin.

Jezza hasn't got one. He grew it out, hated it, then sheared it off.

Always behind

Is there a reason for them hating beards? That’s all I see on young guys who can grow one and women love them. Is that just an America thing?

That's why leather seats are not popular anymore

Yeah, 14:45 kills me on a regular basis 😅

obviously, based on years of performance, no one at peugeot can 'think' at all

more than likely they didn't actually order one and just said that for a joke

@@JoshuaPitts pretty sure the BBC could get into trouble over that, Peugeot could sue for defamation. Not for saying Peugeot is bad, that's an opinion. But lying about contacting them and them refusing to send you a car could be very easily proven to have not happened and could be claimed to be defamatory.

@@esmeecampbell7396 And they’ll counter it in court by saying the show is entertainment, not purely factual. Elon Musk’s legal case was defeated in the merit that it shouldn’t be taken seriously, as it is quite evident.

@@smoketinytom No that worked out in court for a slightly different reason, they were doing a piece on the vehicle and making a joke about it, as part of their widely understood format of testing vehicles and making jokes. Whereas lying about how a company responded in the "factual survey" part of the show (these segments being what allowed Top Gear to be entered and win its infamous 'non-scripted entertainment Emmy' the criteria of which is 'any show primarily to entertain and inform'), and especially lying about giving them the chance to respond respectfully would have a much dimmer view taken of it. I don't doubt that is the excuse they would have to use, but think about it, if it was the case that you could get away with defamation on the basis of claiming it was "entertainment" then people could say or do anything...

Can you explain it?

@@Nickoboss29 As well as referring to a switch or some other control, 'knob' is a slang term for 'penis' and is used both literally and as a moderate insult meaning 'idiot'. (How severe the insult is depends on familiarity. Amongst friends it's usually just banter.)

nothing has better fizz than 177kW @ 8300 rpm.

I'm so jealous!

Is it a nice fizzing sensation behind your penis?

You can tell it wasn't scripted because Jeremy is too busy pissing himself

I probably got that but can you explain the joke?

@@Nickoboss29 he’s saying that there are 3 knobs in the car: The heater, the blower, and the one that bought the car (James)

@@DrewSavo i understood that but does the knob word actually has other meanings in english?

@@Nickoboss29 yeah it’s an insult. Knob is another word for penis.

top gear was that good

Top Gear really was that good. It was a live action cartoon!

Nah youre not alone. Im not a car person butbid tune in to these people even if they only talked about paint

it was that good and better

Where are you from that you never owned a car?

Pistonheads custard test

That situation was 100% set up by the presenters beforehand. They had the Ferrari stat ready and what a coincidence the first guy they asked says he had a Ferrari.

So basically a compilation of things they didn't mean to say. Nice.

I don't doubt it. When the TG studio shut down they still had all the old props in a warehouse both large items and cartons and cartons full of set gags

Must have been hilarious if Hammond did that goofy ass laugh “Hyuh hyuh hyuh hyuh”

Yeah that guy was definitely bullshitting anyone who actually had a Ferrari would simply pull out the keys to show they were telling the truth.

i want an example of what you mean, drawing a blank hete

Reminds me of this one ukposts.info/have/v-deo/pXqGqIN8gZqn0oE.html&ab_channel=incT

@@skonky alfa romeo challenge during the calendar segment in the studio Jeremy was saying "so the best I could come up with is THIS" (shows calendar with the car mostly behind a haystack) it's the way he emphasises the THIS cause usually its something stupid that follows it

good idea, hard to do though

@@incTG you're incT I'm sure you'll find a way lol

The twat sacked himself!

the unabombers' manifesto

That bloke deserved everything he got for trying that on!

My 20 year old vauxhall combo has done 450,000 miles on its original engine and gearbox. I bought it as a 6 year old van for £1500.

@@sahhull vauxhall are good. Not so keen on the 1.9 diesel engine, (the 120 bhp), but all others I've found brilliant. And like Nicholas said, older cars were built to last 👍

I am also quite curious. I'd like to know how the Miata fared, given that the S2k did so consistently well. I'd also like to see if the 2nd-gen Lexus IS was ever included or only the 1st-gen

Chevrolet had nothing to do with the matiz. It was just a rebadged exercise.

Well my Skoda has a mileage of a 104,000 and has been faultlessly reliable, so take that!!!!!!!

Nobody cares

​@MyreW35 You cared enough to comment.

already exists

No it wasn't...

Except for when they do from piston slap, rod knock, head gasket failure, rusting suspension components etc. They are pretty reliable actually but to say they are on the same level as Toyota, Honda, or say older Mercedes would be false. I'd put them at about the same level as VW.

What are you talking about? Subies aren't Toyotas, sure, but they're still quite solid... or at least they are when unmodified

You could do a LOT worse!

You don't get many in GB so it wouldn't appear in the survey

have made one of clarkson and one of may on old TG, another one of clarkson in a bit as well

think it's already been done

What, win the "being on fire" or "driving themselved into fire trucks" segment?

It's a shame they are blind to Tesla shoddy build quality. Most Tesla cars in the UK are leased.
