Finally a car manufacturer who cares about the working man's celery transportation needs.

Nobody does reviews like clarkson and nobody ever will

Little did he realise every lorry that went past on the m40 had 30 people in the back

but the lorries had lots of people sitting in the back

Introducing: the first deaf sound guy in the world!

"where were you at the time of the accident?" "IN THE BACK!" hahahaha

I died at the celery thing

I love how Jeremy does voiceovers for Forza which is an Xbox game, but he's always been talking about the playstation and Gran Turismo (and yes i know this video is from before he did voicing for Forza)

2:55 did anyone notice that they created a beat with his voice and the sound of the cars?

I’m surprised they never had a challenge to build a ‘back seat driver’ car. They’ve had remote controlled cars and cars controlled from another car welded to the top of a car - even James had a car that could be driven from either end - but not a car that could be driven and controlled from the back seat.

A car company that has proper celery storage is one that truly cares

When my Dad moved in to his apartment, the first thing he did was get a fridge, set up the television, set up his stereo, set up the XBOX (very odd word when you think about it, xbox. hmmm). Later that year he bought a Vauxhall Signum, and I can confirm that the indicator has a mind of its own and you can indeed fit a stick of celery in the cubby spaces up top.

Holy shit, Richard Hammond looks like he's 19. xDDDDDDD

You can see that this video is soooo old because Jeremy still had hair ahaahha

the audio is very poorly balanced

That does remind me of mr. Bean

Entertaining as always :-)

I love that jazzy music playing in the background lol

I have a Vectra and I'm happy to say a selection of gardening tools also works in the back of that too. It's not an option limited to just the Signum.

Actually its a perfect rental car for 4 people on a trip. You get room and comfortable seats. You cant comfortably sit 5 in any estate anyway.

Even if this is from 2003,it looks like maybe 90's Top Gear

UPDATE: The Signum is no longer on the road. Registration number: KE03 HKY ✗ Untaxed Tax due: 07 July 2016 ✗ No MOT Expired: 02 October 2016

The celery humour was nearly a decade ahead of its time.

New top gear with Chris Evans and Matt le blanc can never hope to match this.

I too get the internet, TV and PlayStation running first when I move to a new house or apartment.

*Where were you in the time of the accident?* In the back.

16 years later and look at how many 4 door coupes we have on our roads. This car was way ahead of it's time!

Legend says that the celery is still in the car.

I think the Vauxhall Signum is a very interesting car. I reckon it'll be a future classic within the next few years.

Make the music louder, I can still hear your voice

There are three seats in the back, but in the middle it's utterly uncomfortable.

I bet Amazon has a MUCH better sound editor...

Makaɣℓa Purđɣ listen 5:00-5:20 with your eyes closed X'P

But the fridge now a days would be lit for Uber

2019 August? this is so legend!!

Love or hate the Signum, you have to admit one thing: Even in 2023, 20 years after its release, it looks fairly modern. Cars from the late 90s, which really aren’t that much older, look ancient in comparison.

that thing looks about 100x better than the malibu maxx we got in the US

6:46 me, when my father taught me how to drive when i was 14

Reminds me of Mr. Bean

I think it's interesting, and the face lifted version was attractive. We got a sad sack version in the US called Malibu Maxx. It was distinctly unattractive but was a similar packaging premise.

Back when top gear's sound editor was special ed :'D

Wait, a hoe? I thought Jeremy only gardened with shotguns :v

I love you Top Gear! Your humour is so hilarious! Those celery sticks!

This car came out slightly ahead of the BMW 1 Series and the revised Merc A Class and is the same idea. It only seemed to sell on a premium badge, Signum's were made in low numbers and not out for that long.

oh god...that bit about the celery put tears in my eyes! xD i love that you don't need to be a car enthusiast to love top gear. you can learn a few things along the way but ultimately you're entertained by great presenters!

I live near the donkey sanctuary

I have a 3.2V6 Cosmo Opel Signum for 9 years.And it is still nice.Heavy and durable as a tank (even a Ford Transit was wasted in the nose when it was run into mine,while mine had only some nonvisible minor injuries), reliable and strong.And in an interestingly fine look.

I was confused what this was when it showed on my homepage, but I remembered the clip half way through hahaha it's been a while!

I think it's quite a good looking car. Nice idea about making the rear seats actually habitable, and it even makes for a better looking car than a hatchback without any space in the back. But of course, for anything good looking and affordable, there seems no market. I find this trend disappointing in today's society.

He couldn't find anyone in the back of a car because it was quarter to 11 on a week day... While all the kids were in school.

I miss this dude reviews so much.Funny but he is the realest.Nobody does like old TopGear.Hahah Clarckson reviews are out of this world! He is the real petrolhead!

I remember there being a Mr. Bean episode where he had attached a lounge chair on the roof of his car and through some improvised mechanics, he was able to drive the car whilst sitting on a comfy chair.

This car would be perfect for Lyft and Uber drivers.

Surprised he didn’t make a joke about having to put £40 in the tin when a lorry went past. Would be very Clarkson

aaaaaah, Its nice to revisit one of the first top gear videos I saw.

When I was a child I wish there was only 2 seats as our grandma anyways squished in the back with us until we were 16 and 18

3:13 Technically that doesn't count because the passenger was sitting up front, and not in the backseat.

the end is the best part hhaha

the 2003-2008 Vauxhall Signum/ Opel Signum was assembled in Rüsselsheim, Germany

@allenmackinnon its the compression from uploading the video to reduce the actual size (mb) to make streaming quicker and smoother, the same as compressing a .wav to an mp3 reduces sound quality

Containers for your celery? My fridge doesn't even have that!

“Jezza inadvertently explains car pollution in 60 seconds”

That ending tho. Made my day.

In a pre uber world its overkill, but as an uber car its brilliant XD

basically, Opel Signumn is first Vectra hatchback.

"This is for the throttle" **INTENSE ECOTEC NOISES**

A "simple 2 seater" - best bet would be a late model MX5 with a convertible hard top, affordable, huge after market it if you want to tune it, not overly powerful, but handles and quick enough to have fun in real world situations. There are a lot of other options as well, just depends on what is you want to spend and what features matter more, or less to you.

well my grandfather actually drove a car in the back seat. The car was undergoing new seat covers at the time so he had no front seats, so to compensate he drove it in the back. The car was a VW beetle from the 70's or 60's

This actually looks like a damn good car.

The how-many-people-in-the-back segment at 03:00 ish is a perfect demonstration of just how inefficient the car tends to be at moving people around a city - and therefore why any metropolitan area of significance has to prioritise public transportation.

The front end (particularly the headlights) reminds me a bit of the Ford Fusion sold here in America.

Gotta love Clarkson

Why is the audio on old clips like these so messed up? All I can hear is music and car noise, it sounds like Jeremy is stood 50 yards from the microphone

To Jeremy Clarkson, there's always "One Small Thing..." xD

As someone who loves celery this is the car for me.

I agree!

I was literally crying at the celery humour the first time i saw this back in the day. Clarkson's sense of humour is brilliant

I'd like to see a car whose dashboard isn't a collection of elements from the Periodic table.

sound card maybe, or your settings xiemperorix thought it was for 5.1 but i got 2.1 and it sounds fine to me

Driving from the back of the car... Jeremy Clarkson is living my dream.

"Think of the donkeys" 3:09

Driving from the bsck seat is great idea that can solve the problem of Saudi women who are not allowed to drive.Hoping car companiies will develop the idea and I can put a man doll in the driver seat.

This is so true. My pop's purchased a Lincoln Navigator which holds 6 ppl in total comfort, but then it is just him and him wife. All that beautiful leather and no buts in them.

3 Million subscribers, congrats

Who's watching in 2018 and thinking how luxurious he is talking about a 2003 car and look at our 18 plate cars. Beat that jeremy!

This car is a genius idea for 3 or 4 person families. I'm 6'3" and 14 so I need a lot of room like in the back of that car and I only have 1 sibling and the fridge and dvd player would be useful on long trips

Finally! a storage for celery! It's been a pain driving with celery in the way, at last a solution is available! LOL

I wanna find out what the sound engineer for Top Gear at the time was smoking

Lol mr bean did that once

I won't lie, this is definetly me when i can't hear anything he is saying.

The Intro song was: Paul Rothman - It's Such a Good Night (Scoobidoo Love) Like if you want to share it to others....

Always liked the signum

Mr Beam did it better.

"no mature content" Good on KZfaq to let us know who was presenting this segment.

stig should go around the track with that set up

IN AUSTRALIA they had this model vectra with a HUGE 3.2 litre V6, and about 1/3 have it here. Barely fit the damn thing under the hood, absolutely crammed in. The very next model of commodore/lumina had an optional 3.2 V6 and 3.6 V6 as standard..... YEAH. So basically it got an engine for a FAR bigger car rammed into a smaller car. The difference was the commodore was a direct injection. But THEORETICALLY according to standard engine sizes for the size of the vectra, it SHOULD BE able to just about dig holes into sealed roads. Would love to get to drive one to see.

Even at that early stage, his genius was almost staggering.

There is someone called Mr.Bean..

6:10 The only problem with having string attached to a steering wheel is that you cannot do a full lock when in a car park!

i think the Audio is in full HD when you buy it in DVDs and when you uploaded it on youtube and play it in low quality it becomes like what you hear watching this video..
