The noise is the signature piece of this car. Makes it more special in the UK cause the V8 isn’t a common sound, unlike over in North America. Love the genuine reactions from the girls when you hit the loud pedal ❤

@ 10:10 - I have this same issue with my family car, a Volvo XC90. There's a sharp corner near where I live that always has vehicles parked along it. Every time we go home, we get a warning going into this turn because the car believes we are at risk of a collision with another vehicle. Be thankful your car didn't auto-brake and cause you more confusion lol

Ben, love the channel and enjoy the reaction of the kids. You need to try a Jag XJ-S. I Iive in Florida and have the 2015 470/435 version of the V8 in short wheelbase form. It is exceptional in comfort and very quick with loads of inside space for what you need. I know your mate Jayem has tried a few but think it well worth your attention.

Love this review, really love the Grand Cherokee SRT, some of them I believe fall into the £180 solid rate tax bracket too (my 2017 Mustang did too). Near £700 a year would catch me out every time when it came around. Our current 2019 Jeep Compass does the same thing with the collision warning and parked cars, very annoying and as you say more distracting than anything, I've not worked out how to turn it off yet. All the best from a dad who does the school run in a classic shape Mini!

The Grand Cherokee gets a pass from me as the proportions look ok, a lot of SUVs (Especially Range Rovers!) look horribly proportioned, but the Grand Cherokee looks 'in scale'. Although the noise was so glorious I'd probably forgive it. Congrats on 20k Ben, feels like not so long ago you were celebrating 10k, so hopefully seeing that next milestone has helped keep you motivated.

This one is not too bad but because it's more aimed at performance even the normal setting it's quite stiff on bumps and pot holes. Plus those big wheels dont help

Do suv reviews with your wife. What sold me on the 911 was normal guy super car's wife mentioning the "practicality" of the back seats for storage (purses for women). Now, I can't do a sports car without 4 seats. Just good to get other perspectives.

That sounds so similar to my Corvette C8 but I`m definitely not having the 30mpg on a run claim (realise it wasn`t you saying that) best the C8 can do is about 23 and its much lighter and lower CD. Cracking video though 💗

I don't like any SUVs but this one is an exception. Well, trackhawk is my favourite, but only 20 were sold in the UK, so slim chances I'd ever get one. I love the fact that it still has a proper hemi V8, not 1.5tsi or anything else that would explode after 100k miles. Yes, you should replace your wives X5 for this 😂
