Laughs in 2021

Anything is possible, as long as you have a Jaaaaaaaag.

Im glad bringing you back here with my thumb up in these sad times of 2022. But still, its really okay and you know why - Its because he's got a Jaaaaaaag.

@@scriptpavianys6522 That's you can get over anything with a Jaaaaaaag.

They did everything for X-type not to be even a £20k S-type, but in fact she turned out to give way also to C-class and 3-series.

i agree, and its really easy to work on, id say its the perfect step to getting into jaguar as an american, if you want to start with a "real" jag. get an s type

@@LowEndPCGamer100 facts... when i was looking to buy an stype or xtype i was looking at various... unfortunatly i couldnt find one with a manual transmission where i live... so i opted with a 2.0d cuz i couldnt also find a decent 2.2d... i thought of a 2.5 or a 3.0 but petrol here is 7 bucks a gallon... bit pricey... but ye... its been an amazing car so far... reliability is so good... only had a major problem on the dealer... but it was before it was sold and they showed the receipts... had a fuel pump put on, injectors, sensors, egr valve... then in warranty needed a camshaft sensor... and after that a crankshaft pulley for the serpentine belt... nothing crazy... its smooth, has the power when you put your foot down... all i do is yearly maintenence... filters and oil changes... Its one of the best cars ive had so far. And everything still works too... the eletric adjustable seats, the AC, the defrost front and rear windows, the eletric door mirrors... there one or two rattles but nothing that will annoy you... Compared to an audi or a bmw... Its way better and more comfortable.

Here in Missouri, you’ll see some dumbass in a 2WD Chevy S10 doing 60 on a completely snow covered rural highway lmao

@@rowanarcticfox And then, there’s North Carolina, where we all panic like the end is upon us because of 1 inch of snow.

meanwhile in new hampshire, in 1 foot of snow with about 6 on the road with a built up cummins turbo diesel going 100+, i have seen it but only once

Or a honda fit doing 50 on the river road in the city

They European stole the Mexican Land first. Not a bad idea to get back their land by over populating the US with thousands and thousands of mexican amigos 🤗✌️

My Contour, the American branded Mondeo, is a few months older than me and works fine.

I'm surprised the X-Type didn't do better - it was aimed at the upper end (but obvs not the top end) of the company car market - and while there was strong competition from Audi A3s, Series 3 Beemers, and the C Class Merc - the X-Type was a good bit cheaper and was based on a platform that fleet managers had absolute trust in for years. Putting Jaguar styling and trim on a tried and tested bombproof Ford undercarriage seems like an absolute no-brainer to me.

@@5ynthesizerpatel yes, but apparently all the jaguar purists we're screaming ma exclusivity been ruined. It's like the Jeep Patriot of Jags.

​@@5ynthesizerpatelI think the Rover 75 wounded the X-Type somewhat. Same segment of the market, doing the same retro-British luxury car gimmick. However BMW and Rover did a much better job than Ford and Jaguar did. Hell the 75 is more frequently compared to the more expensive S-Type over it's actual rival. That says a lot. It was it's own unique platform, not reworking something else in the range like Ford did. The X-Type will forever (unfairly) be painted as the Mondeo Vanden Plas even though it's fairly far detached from the Mondeo.

@@lazzie7495 I don't disagree that counted against the X for the civilian market. But company car fleet managers and buyers ( which was the market which the X Type was aimed at) - tend to be pretty pragmatic and less prone to emotional purchases. My girlfriend drives a Patriot BTW - I quite like it, provided I don't pretend it's a Jeep 🤣

Its a drift setup

Negative camber, that is !

Estate looks better in my opinion...

Yes, there are always too many silly reasonably priced four wheel drive manual sporty estates on the market. We' need more gorgeous cars that are designed to look like a practical off road sports coupe based on hatchback but with chopped rear headroom and a raised center of gravity and 18 inch wheels to loo like a hypercar offering decreased practiality, increased price, poor accident avoidance capability and ride. Estates are silly, who needs a vehicle that can actually be practical, technically capable and efficient in one package if you can legitimately sell more niche vehicles that create almost 50 percent or just about 10 tons more co2 under production than an old conventional vehicle and label it as a zero emission vehicle because upmarket world saving overpriced child slave labor cobalt and nickel mining product is just what a millennial needs, another cliche

estate better looking and more practical than saloon

The crazy part is that he’s not that far from the truth lol

BYSMA4th what Physik-law actually says, That you can't drive on roads, whit 5cm of snow on them? You could Do that in a rear wheel drive 911 Well Not exactly that because you will struggle to Put anything from that List into the Boot of a 911, and if you try to mount a rope on the back, a german will appear and kill you, because you might scratch the paint of a Porsche, and a 911 wouldnt drive on top of the snow, but rather loob all the snow under its tires away, producing lots of noises, whilst going 20mph and burnig enoug fuel to kill 20 polar bears.

@@sinthoras1306 You would put the luggage in the FRONT, you DRIVELING ASS, as Jeremy would properly say *insert smug face*

Jaguar is OWNED by Ford, and as he said, underneath it's pretty much a Mondeo with 4 wheel drive. So American company with a British HISTORY.

Josh Nason You are not special, most people expierience a normal winter

Josh Nason Same here in sweden

Josh Nason That's like literally what Jeremy was saying the whole video...

They get scared over 3 inches of snow? We got like 10 feet here in New England this past winter, and thanks to our powerful North American equipment we can move it just fine. It may have been -11 (that's Fahrenheit for all those who don't use the correct system) but the powered was flying. And I still don't know why a flashlight is called a torch.

+burdizdawurd1516 In ye old days they used a torch... a flashlight replaced that cause of convinience? (mind the spelling)... When usa came to be it was not so long ago so u think of flashlight (like a flash of light).

+ethan Klahn Because only idiots use imperial units.

+ProHockeyPlayer87 We use Imperial in the UK.

+ethan Klahn because all of the plants around him are surprisingly small

+Samuel Brooks the UK officially uses the metric system but it's not fully adopted by the people so certain things people will use metric and others imperial like a persons height people still use feet. since 2009 food and goods are meant to be measured in the metric system but things like speed and travel distance are still being used in imperial basically the uk cant make it mind up haha

+nachospole1 Uk has already made its mind up. At universities, schools, industry, the government, military...etc...etc use SI units. Just because some people still use Stone to measure weight, it doesn't mean UK hasn't made its mind up. Even in the US, the universities and the entire scientific community use SI units, because that is the only way to do science.

how is / was the reliability, durability, dealership ?[ and the cost of maintenance?]

@@polomarco7053 Catastrophic car, had it for a few years. 2.5 v6 petrol fuel consumption pretty much same as a ferrari, slow and not particularly comfortable car. Good in snow though but much better choices if looking for used.

Worst car I ever had

@@polomarco7053 I freaking love my X-Type estates. I use plural as a garage didn't put coolant in and I had to get a new one. The diesel ones range is phenominal if you don't accelerate like a delinquent. Less stress on the car too. A comfortable car that has masses of storage space, great for car seats, can handle snow and loose surfaces with it's balance and is easy to get in and out. As for maintainence there are many parts in common with a mondeo so they are cheaper than Jaguar OEM parts keeping the costs down and they are a solid car. Reliability is good as well. Outstanding for an old car.

​@@agonei121whys that?

Take your greetings somewhere else. We can handle the winter perfectly fine. We just don’t want to XD

Winter tires are far more important than any other factor for winter driving.

subaru symmetrical awd is better

dude thats what he was trying to prove

You alive?

@@MyMoskus okay

Please give an update

@@lasagna5934 hi mate, still driving it! Best money I've ever spent

@@nickgeorgiou123 Which one do you have? Engine and Drivetrain wise.

@@metalheadgamer6666 hi mate, just the standard front wheel drive with the 2.0td engine, but it just feels fantastic with that setup

And we are climbing mountains with those in here... Never been stuck, but i have pulled out a few idiots over the last months.

Well, surely much better than RWDs.. since you get traction from the weight of the engine pushing the wheels down

Depends... mostly on what tyres you are driving...

It's more about highway instability, I live really far from my home because of school and my mom's FWD car actually had exactly that heart stopping moment Clarkson talks about in the video. It's actually scary, and it's just because of how FWD works (all the power in the front without traction, and the back wheels just dragging uselessly). Luckily mine is a 4wd. Actually the saloon version of this car xD

people in this country don't get snow, if we get threats of even a small flurry people assume the world is going to end and they empty shop shelves. Plus people don't know how to drive, if I'm coming up a hill with parked cars, people will still come down, so I lose momentum and can't keep going...

There are studded and non studded winter tires. Studded are banned in many places, but non studded winter tires perform exceptionally and RWD, FWD, or AWD make by far the biggest difference. This show consistently discredits that tires are the single most important factor for winter driving.

Meanwhile in Australia: “Wait there are other cars than 4x4’s?”

With winter tires, they would all be extremely capable.

I concur

MartinsArmAChannel I am an eye person. :)

+Samuel Brooks no Crimson Tide movie submarine punch lines here please XD

the terrorist, just before he dies, says to the SAS, "You have such beautiful eyes"

I th8nk the sas person is Hammond

+cookiegaming44 it's stupid to have them when the snow is on the ground for max 2 days.

+matt martini yeah I guess so...

+matt martini No, they are miles better in wet weather, should have them for winter full stop, not just for snow...

Ice tyres might, over here snow tyres are a softer compound and have more tread, they don't have any spikes to damage the road

+j4cko56 ._. snow tiers dont have spikes those are studded tiers and for the most part no one uses them cause you can but chains on your wheels

can't use chains on most public roafs

+Micheal J. Caboose depends on where you live.

snow chains on that paperthin layer of snow :D top kek

For all 2 days of snow we get a year right? People don't even bother with winter tyres because its just not cold enough here. I just let 2 PSI out of all my tyres if it snows so that they have a larger contact patch and are softer on the ground.

By, "normal car," what do you mean? Something like a Hyundai Sonata or Nissan Rogue/Xtrail?

Joke's on you: it's actually a Mondeo underneath. So no ancient Jag XJ nightmares here: Mondeos are very reliable.

+appelpower1 nope.Fords and Mondeos in particular are a total piece of junk including the latest model.That is because they are trying to sell cheaper than the competition whitch means all the nastiest materials and bad quality.

Seim Old DickHead My dad has one, and he's never had trouble with it. (it's the 2007 model, though, not the one the X-Type was based on).

gotteeemm hahaha.

i have a 2004 sedane 2l diesel and i love it. it's not that unreliable as people say and it doesnt shares that many parts with the mondeo as you might think. only 20% of them. the price of the parts is the same as any other car. it has a lot of space, especially in the boot. it is comfortable. fast enough for what it should be.and the engine is great. once you hit 3 grand on te tach you're moving! other than that it purrs like a kitten :D

Why didn't they make special with him, it would be amazing :D They did many stuff with Ramsey for example.

Yeah but Bear Grylls was SAS so basically him and the guy in the boot are the exact same in that matter

ryanlycan1 not in the UK, buddy! Any kind of Impreza will be upwards of £5000 a year to insure for a lot of people and that's without how difficult it is to find a half decent example

The WRX will cost you much more to isure, then the head gasket will blow itself wide open !!!!!

Miller Corner £5000????? You are being ripped off. Badly.

mukul4305 Holly Molly, and i was thinking that a summer about 40+ and a winter of nearly 0 in the capital city was bad.

In Finland winter is -30 and summer +20 rarely and a lot of rain

Yes thanks for that insight, that was the point being made throughout the whole video.

relative to which part of Canada. we're kind of big :P

+Arles Tippie true. A week of -40 to -50 is common on the praries.

Lysergic Casserole thank you finally someone who sees the grand tour is pandering too much to the American audience

Lysergic Casserole I agree, but Amazon is an American company and if they get too close to the original show BBC could sue.

they have. the new series is great, very "middle series top gear"ish

They literally just did a jag skiing episode not too long ago like a day or 2 pretty much that clip he showed us just with Hammond and May

In sweden we can have 2 meters of snow and everyone carries on like normal
