  1. People should stop obsessing about reliability. Take better care of your cars and stop whining.

  2. You think that car is bad, wait until you drive a Toyota Bz4x.

  3. ​ @jdmguy44  They're not driving Lexus or Infiniti though are they? It isn't about fires it was a CONTRACT for one particular police force. Loads of police forces still routinely use BMW

  4.  @jdtseventyfour  I had an XE after my faultless XF. The XE was in the dealer every month for a year for build quality issues, broken sunroof, poor build quality, electrical issues etc. Got rid after 12 months. Horrible ownership experience.
    9
  5.  @emekaiheanacho274  Barely, just as we don't buy Lexus or Infiniti, and we don't even have Lincoln or Cadillac. People just see these cars as a poor man's BMW, Merc, Porsche or Audi

  6.  @AE1758-x5y  You should have done some research then shouldn't you? It's your own fault for not caring enough to make yourself aware of the specification.
    7
  7.  @emekaiheanacho274  It's not that Europeans don't want to try anything new, it's that we generally don't like US design and philosophy of manufacture. We define what "luxury" means differently.
    7
  8.  @jdmguy44  You are correct, I looked it up, but it's not because of fires, it's because of supply chain issues which are affecting every car maker. BMW are prioritising commercial customers.
    5
  9.  @jdmguy44  Oh right, a conspiracy theory nut. All right then. If that was the case then all BMWs would have been removed from UK police fleets. Have they? No.

  10. I hired one of these once and besides an MG I had, it had the lowest quality materials and worst, laziest designed interior of any car I have ever driven. Looks good on the outside, bit like everything built in America, it suffers at the hands of an obsession with "bang for the buck" over quality.
    5
  11. They're supposedly gunning for Bentley with their relaunch, so might see something impressive . They are going to have to massively improve quality though. I do fear they're going to disappear though.

  12. Do people actually say "gee"?

  13. If a car takes at least 15 times longer to charge than a car takes to fill up with petrol and only can cover half tje distance on that charge we need as a minimum 30x the number of chargers as we do petrol pumps. Think about that for a moment. In reality that figure is more like 50x, which means we need something like 4m chargers in UK.
    4
  14.  @jdmguy44  It's not a fact, you've simply surmised it. Of they were a serious risk, they wouldn't be available to anyone

  15.  @SNAFFUcwalk  I just did. Huge impracticality of having a bootlid with a narrow opening. Plus the estate version of virtually every saloon car is better looking and more practical.
    3
  16.  @fastdruid  You have to see WHY car companies have stopped making them and it's because they have models that people want instead. If there was sufficient demand for saloon cars, they'd still make them.

  17. Tesla clearly based their S Model on it.
    3
  18.  @MrKwabs-sn1lv  Yeah, bit you don't boast as if 19mpg is good. I get that fuel is virtually free in US, but 19mpg is laughable
    3
  19.  @noname-gp6hk  there's plenty of fantastic modern cars around.
    3
  20.  @claudiomarangone614  No, primarily the people who complain MOST about reliability are Americans, where routine scheduled maintenance isn't done like it is in the UK/Europe (and your fuel is shit) No one makes a truly unreliable car anymore and carsbthat are unreliable can mostly be attributed to neglect. A huge % people get cars on lease and under warranty, therefore reliability isn't an issue.

  29.  @Gentleman...Driver  Times move on. I haven't met anyone who thought harking back to a Jag Mark 10 would have been good. They already tried that with the S Type and it wasn't exactly a success.

  30. Tasteful and modifying do not make good bedfellows

  31. They were really let down by a crappy infotainment. So low rent compared to the BMW of the time. The facelift came way too late.
    2
  32. @xyz-md2mv  It plays a part. Jaguar really let down their customers with this cheap infotainment system of that era that ended when they launched the Pivo with larger screen. Of course it matters because you spend all your time with a car inside it driving and it's a let down.

  34.  @r0x0r-p4t  Destined for Taxi and hire car fleets. Just a hateful car, but then again most Asian cars are truly terrible and uninspiring

  35.  @DavidSmith-gb4gq  Britain has too many people and too many cars to make it work for normal people who don't/can't have home charging facilities. I lived in Norway for a couple of years, and it all worked so much better. Britain is a laughable country for such infrastructure and is a complete and utter rip off. I have seen £1 per KW do many times in UK, which makes it twice as expensive as petrol.
    2
  36. @andrewwaller5913  You're trying to argue a stupid point. You are ignoring everything that everyone is writing to state points which no one is even disputing.
    2
  37. @andrewwaller5913  You've ignored every point that everyone has made. On your first point range, most people don't drive more than 50 miles a day, so range isn't a problem. Secondly, to a man, every EV owner has stated that UNLESS you have a charger at home, or access to one at work, stick with a petrol. You're only arguing with yourself in some sort of rabid rage. No one is taking your car away, so stop behaving like a baby.
    2
  38. @andrewwaller5913  Those are published statistics. The vast majority of people don't drive very far per day and very seldomly drive any real distance in a day. You can't even make a consistent argument and I'm sorry that you can't read properly. Time to stop howling at the moon pal.
    2
  39. @David-135  That was the point Einstein. The entire point was that EV infrastructure works well in countries with LOW population density. It doesn't work well in UK because A) we have too many cars and B) we would require far too many chargers per square kilometre to be workable. If I can fill a car in 4 minutes with petrol and it takes 40 minutes to charge a car to get 200 miles then I need 10 times as many chargers as petrol pumps but in fact I might need up to 30 times as many because an EV charge is only about 200 miles and a petrol car could potentially do 600. Not that many people have a place to charge at home either compared to Norway. Norway is just more civilised and better set up for it and UK couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. You just missed a very simplistic point.
    2
  40. @DavidSmith-gb4gq  I actually wouldn't recommend hiring an EV. I have rented about 10 in the UK and rental agencies always only seem to stock the lowest in the range with very few options and as such you end up with a 2 ton piece of crap that couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Better to try and get something that is mid or near the top of the range as this is more like what you would buy in real life.

  41. 19-20 mpg as a boast???😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That is TERRIBLE

  43. I really wish people would stop pretending cars going electric will save the planet. You could replace all cars in Europe with electric and it wouldn't even save tje earth 0.5% co2

  44.  @marvinsamuels1237  You're making the conflation that people buy cars with the sole purpose of improving air quality, they don't. People should be able to drive whatever car they like. Just because a car is bigger, doesn't follow that it's worse for the environment. When it comes to CO2, cars (and planes) make a convenient scapegoat, whilst environmental zealots completely ignore bigger contributor's to climate change and pollution.
    1
  45.  @marvinsamuels1237  The problem is that if you only focus on cars for reducing CO2, you achieve bugger all. I've never heard Saint Greta moan about the fashion industry which is 10% of global CO2, not have I heard her whine about the Internet which has the same footprint as air travel.
    1
  46.  @marvinsamuels1237  Yes, but if you only demonise cars, you are doing practically nothing to address the problem.

  49.  @elnyt123  Buying something isn't about NEED, it can be about WANT. Or do you just buy the cheapest of everything and have no indulgence in your life?
    1
  50.  @elnyt123  I wasn't being rude. Someone stated that no one needs a luxury car, well no one needs a luxury anything but if we lived in just a subsistence economy where all we ever bought was all we needed and nothing else how dull would life be? You haven't demonstrated that any of the cars you mention suffer from the things that you claim. Someone's personal preference is none of your business, so why are you bothering yourself over what OTHER people buy?
    1
  51.  @elnyt123  You said to someone "why would anyone need a car like these" referring to Range Rovers and BMW and the fact is no one does need them, but that doesn't mean they don't buy them because they want them. I can't see anything wrong with buying stuff they want. I'm sure you want to buy stuff I wouldn't, but I wouldn't give you shit about it. You probably have a car I wouldn't want, but that doesn't mean you can't want one.

  52.  @elnyt123  Irrelevant, you were questioning why anyone would want a car you don't.

  53.  @elnyt123  Well first of all you said a car was ugly, boring, smelly and had poor fuel efficiency. That is all subjective opinion.
    1
  54.  @elnyt123  Yes it is. If you're a multi millionaire you might consider 20mpg froma 4ltr car to be good. You haven't proven a car smells of fake cheap leather. Listen, I hate this Infiniti as much as you do, but I have to accept that SOME people have a different view Your comment ISN'T deleted, I can STILL SEE IT.

  60. ​ @johnmoncrieff3034  Precisely. If you replaced every European car with an electric one, and once all those cars had done at least 30,000km you'd save the planet a whopping 0.5% There are far more important co2 sources to address than demonising cars and planes. Plane travel is just 2% of global emissions , the same as running the internet, but no one ever demonises the internet do they? I do have an electric car as of today, but it's because I live in the only country in the world where they are practical. Norway

  61.  @neblolthecarnerd  Who cares? European cars are only 1% of global co2.

  62.  @peterpodgorski  We are only five million people in Norway. It's easy to provide the energy we need with the resources here. That isn't possible in UK, Germany, Spain etc with much larger populations.
    1
  63.  @peterpodgorski  Ha ha ha. Do you realise how long it takes to build a sufficient number of nuclear power stations, let alone the cost? France's energy supply from nuclear only accounts for its ELECTRICITY demand at the present time. If you want to turn over every home business, industry and vehicle to run on electric in addition to your current electricity demand, exactly how many nuclear power stations do you think a country like UK, Germany, Poland etc would need? You really want 1000 nuclear power stations on a continent? You're not considering that changing over everything to Electric is not taking into account overall energy demand, you're only taking into account our current energy demand, not our future energy demand. Also, would you trust a country as rubbish at infrastructure as the UK to safely construct the 150 or so nuclear power stations required to eliminate emissions?
    1
  64.  @robthemodYT  It has 8, bit most are coming to the end of their lives. The Lib Dem/Conservative coalition turned down building new ones because "it would take too long X" Our energy sources are necessarily diverse, not likely to ever be fully transitions from. Even the most optimistic forecast have UK still getting 50% of ALL energy sources from Fossil Fuel, it's currently 80% despite all the work, and the truly laughable scenario was that until today, Labour had deluded themselves that UK would have 100% renewable by 2030, truly preposterous.
    1
  65.  @robthemodYT  Furthermore, Tue sheer population density of UK wouldn't allow for the number of nuclear power stations required to supply 100% of UK energy needs plus all the additional power required to convert every gas boiler, industrial installation or fossil fuel vehicle.

  68. I had a Jaguar XE and it was the second worst built car I have ever owned. Got rid after 12 months because I had it in for warranty work TEN times in 12 months for build quality issues. Dreadfully out of date interior too.

  86. I just couldnt drive that car, its too vulgar, too clichéd and too ostentatious. Perhaps in black, dark blue etc it would be a little more acceptable but its far too showy for me. I prefer something more understated than a "look how small my cock is" red Ferarri.

  90. Sadly agree. Had a 2018 Volvo V60 which was much better made and with higher quality materials than my current 2022 XC60. Not drastically bad, but noticeably cheaper

  91. Jaguar weren't selling cars anyway. They were in that Lexus and Cadillac bracket of not being luxury enough to be luxury cars. Had a couple myself and was really let down by dreadful build quality on the second one. They really needed something like a J Pace to compete with the XC90 and a 1 Series competitor.

  94. It's not that these cars are so expensive that puts me off, it's the sheer lack of comfort and lack of practicality. The British psyche is not set up for supercars within it's midst. The politics of envy is too great. Nobody says "well done" if you've done well in your life.

  109. The "posh" versions of Asian cars ALWAYS miss the mark, whether it's a Lexis, Infiniti, Acura, Genesis or whatever they just aren't fully understanding the market they are hoping to crack. Like Americans, they don't get luxury.
    1
  110.  @CarsofGlasgow  I'm talking about whether US and Asian brands truly understand the term luxury. In America it just means making things bigger, in Asia it means making things worse than proper luxury cars. Why bring surveys into it? What's that got to do with luxury and who cares if there's mid 2000 Cadillac in Europe, they were laughed out of the continent as a marque

  113.  @-A-lm5xb  Only in the last two years has this been the case with the upgraded interiors on the facelifted F Pace which trickled down to other models.

  114.  @-A-lm5xb  I had a 2010 Jag XF too years ago, and had a 2016 XE and it was certainly substandard to others in the sector. There was issues with Mercedes and their dreadful binnacles and stick on screens but Audi and BMW were certai ly better. I think the recent interior upgrade in the XF/F pace and current JLR models is where they should have been 4 years ago. The build quality of my XE was laughable and even my last two Volvos were an improvement. I do like Jag, but I think they're in real trouble of disappearing.

  116. @Gentleman...Driver  I can certainly see the appeal, I just think that many car makers have tried the retro look, and very few have succeeded. I thought the updated XJ was quite interesting, and it was certainly on my radar 10 years ago. I think the day of the saloon car is gone now though, and as such I think it would be difficult for Jaguar to accommodate a retro styled car in a different body style. Jaguar was always up against it because BMW, Audi and Merc could do what they did, just at a notch above in terms of quality. I'll always have a soft spot for Jag, but unfortunately, I think they've killed themselves because they couldn't find a niche to operate in and didn't really have a target market.
    1
  117. @Gentleman...Driver  There's JLR dealerships in every major city, can't speak for whatever country you're in, presumably North America with your use of "sedan" instead of "saloon". I think that Jaguar mostly missed the mark on "luxury" in this era in the same way that Lexus, Cadillac, and Lincoln also fail and are guilty of. It's just not quite there, and whilst I can excuse Japanese and US cars because we define luxury differently (luxury just means bigger and ANY leather in US) I can't excuse Jag for this 2012-2019/20 era for their cost cutting and especially the poor interior design. They dramatically improved with the Pivo infotainment combined with a better interior but it was sadly too late by then. RIP Jaguar.

  126.  @JayEmmOnCars  True, but I think that Japanese and Korean cars are especially guilty of making insipid cars with incredibly dull interiors. The cars for people who don't like cars.
    1
  127.  @JayEmmOnCars  I agree that American cars are also dull, but given we are Brits on this channel, we don't really get to see many actual American cars as Ford and GM (or used to pre PSA) have European arms and cars like Jeep are pretty rare (and Italian owned now) and other brands like Dodge aren't sold here anymore whilst others never have been. I'm not saying European cars are fantastically aspirational and marvels of design, but they do a better job of making more interesting cars than Asia and USA American and Asian cars have dreariness in common though and seem to compete for the worst interiors.
    1
  128.  @JayEmmOnCars  I haven't seen many that are good enough. I agree they're improving, but most still have analogue dials which is unacceptable. The switchgear is nasty too. Unbelievably the current RX still has a CD player. I actually quite like the Lexus RX, but like most Lexus (or is it Lexi) it is too slow and there's always a better alternative somewhere.

  129.  @JayEmmOnCars  I will say that the Honda E is a bit different and shows they are capable.
    1
  130.  @JayEmmOnCars  We are demanding ever more technologically advanced vehicles and as such continuing to use analogue dials seems like we are being shortchanged on tech. If you want analogue, that's fine, just my opinion that if I'm spending 40+k on a car, I expect a bit more tech than analogue dials, especially ones like Lexus which look very out of date. Mercedes and Jaguar until recently also had very old fashioned looking binnacle, but have really stepped it up. There is certain a lot of shit digital tech around though. Vauxhall for one.

  131. @Pollywog Well it is, what other way would you put it? It is the U2 of cars? Why is it bullshit? If you like cars and driving, the last thing you do is buy a standard Asian car. There's a few decent ones but most are dismal.
    1
  132. @Pollywog I didn't say being enjoyable to drive was the sole criteria did I? I said they are the cars for people who don't like cars. Much of this is due to how boring they look and how bad their interiors are. I didn't claim to be the arbiter of what is a good car or not, I'm expressing an opinion. If you don't agree that's your prerogative, but I'll continue to maintain that most Asian (and American) cars are incredibly dreary and dull. It sounds like you are trying to defend them perhaps because you drive one and you don't like being associated with what I think of them, fine. Like them if you like, it doesn't bother me, but the general concensus among the population and var reviewer is that Asia produces capable, but ultimately uninspiring cars.
    1
  133. @Pollywog That's why I said GENERAL. Find me a review which raves about how interesting mass produced Asian cars are. Can't wait for this one. Kia, Honda, Hyundai etc are just dreary. If you like cars, what is so bloody interesting about a drab Asian car like a Hyundai, Honda, Toyota etc? They're boring.
    1
  134. @Pollywog Look mate. I expressed an opinion about Asian cars, I'm not stopping you having your opinion. Get over it. I find them boring, and associate them with people who don't like cars. You think differently. Good for you, vive le difference.

  139.  @kirili9107  That isn't necessarily true either. Stupid US laws are not my problem or the cars problem That's a US tax problem and is more than just a problem for SUV as your fuel is far too cheap and your cars too inefficient. US MPG is embarrassing.

  146.  @smilepermile8165  How would you know? Are you an automotive engineer with a better knowledge of vehicle dynamics than the people who designed, engineered and manufactured it? No

  147.  @smilepermile8165  I didn't say they wouldn't. I said that you claiming they make it better doesn't necessarily make it true. I asked if YOU knew better than the people who made the car, it is OBVIOUS that you don't, how could you possibly? If you bothered to read what I had written I said that MOST modifications result in making it look shit or making it perform worse. Stick to your Corsa.

  149.  @joetaka7620  He questioned how adding a lighter batter and lighter wheels would make it worse, I said that unless you are an automotive engineer WHO HAS a better understanding of the car than those who designed, engineered and built it he wasn't in a position to say. Keep up.

  150.  @smilepermile8165  You are still completely missing that I said "in the majority of cases" it makes it look worse and perform worse because the hand of chav which deals with the majority of modifications usually has absolutely no technical expertise in any sort of engineering. Changing suspension doesn't necessarily make it ride better at all. Lowering suspension for example in most cases makes it WORSE in terms of ride quality, because it is inherently stiffer with a shorter ride.
    1
  151.  @joetaka7620  I asked if you knew better than the people who make it? Do you? Does reducing weight absolutely have a beneficial effect on the performance of the suspension for example? No. They are designed to have a certain weight and mass acting on them and react in a SPECIFIC way, change that and you change the dynamics MAYBE for the better, but it's complete GUESSWORK on the persons behalf doing the mod that it will make it better. Maybe it will make it better in some aspect, but it could just as easily make it worse in another, for example in terms of traction. Most of the time it is completely irrelevant anyway as "performance" is restricted by traffic laws, road conditions, other road users and common decency.

  152.  @joetaka7620  What if the cars weight distribution takes the battery weight into account? You didn't design the car so you don't know of it did or didnt. Again, ask yourself why they used that battery in the first place?

  156.  richardharrold9736  Ah, maybe it was the early ones I saw where the left hand ones were analogue and the other half was digital. That is the worst, do one or the other but don't try to blend them, just looks cheap.
    1
  157.  richardharrold9736  It just looks stupid. It's like having an analogue wall clock with a digital date insert. Personally I prefer digital now, but they need to have them more customisable like you can with Garmin sport watches which have thousands of faces to choose from.
    1
  158.  richardharrold9736  Preferably within tasteful boundaries though which aftermarket options rarely are. I wouldn't be against manufacture dials having more than one or two options. Seems a terrible waste to just keep it on something which is often pretty drab. Even being able to change colours or which side the dials are on. Interiors for most manufacturers are a terrible missed opportunity, and not just dials, the whole thing could be a lot more interesting, tactile, ergonomic and stylish but it seems to be made to the lowest cost for most, whereas I'd happily add a couple of grand to have something nicer inside, after all that's where you are spending all your driving time.

  160. @andrewwaller5913  I was making the point in regards to the size of a population in relation to the effectiveness of infrastructure. It's a perfectly VALID comparison to state that it is very difficult to get a decent infrastructure when your population is 14X more and run by inept, idiotic Brits.
    1
  161.  @andrewwaller5913  You missed my point entirely.
    1
  162. @andrewwaller5913  You've just done it again. I'm not an EV person. I had an EV when I lived on Norway where it works due to a low population density and a better, more reliable infrastructure as well as a better, more respectful society who doesn't abuse such things. On the other hand, my point was why it doesn't work in the UK is there are too many cars on the road, and as such it is practically impossible to build a reliable infrastructure sufficient to result in a statistically significant uptake to EV. If you try reading before you type it really helps.
    1
  163.  @andrewwaller5913  You reallycan't be bothered to read can you? I have already stated I don't drive an EV in this country. I have a petrol XC90. My point about the UK EV infrastructure is that it is underpowered, undersupplied and frequently out of order, and UNLESS you charge from home or work, I have been clear that you shouldn't have one in UK due also to the exhorbitant cost of public charging. Perhaps if you read better you'd have a better job and be a bit more articulate.

  166. @andrewwaller5913  Just grow up mate. Just because an EV doesn't suit your empty and sad life (you drive a diesel FFS) doesn't mean they won't suit someone with more substantial means.

  167. @andrewwaller5913  No one claimed you could. I'm not even an EV advocate, I've been very vocal that for most people in the UK they probably aren't a practical alternative to an ICE car, but you're too stupid to read properly. I've already stated I drive a PETROL car, and a very nice one at that. The point is that your life isn't representative of everyone, and people who probably have a better life than your sad diesel driving existence might well find that an EV suits them. Keep driving your 1.2 crap 14 year old Skoda or whatever it is.

    1
  170.  @curmudgeon1933  Yes, I do know that a US gallon is 19% smaller than a proper gallon. It's still shit MPG though. It is perhaps because US have zero incentive to be fuel efficient given the fuel is virtually free.

  171.  @iamatlantis1  Yes, an American car built for a country where fuel is practically free and thus has no incentive to make it efficient.

  173.  @Ryan-pe4vc  American fuel is incredibly cheap and no American has any cause to complain about it. It's one of the reasons American cars are so inefficient. You have no incentive to have fuel efficient cars. In the country I live in a US Gallon(3.8 litres) would cost me $8.55. Cars in America are also very cheap, so owning and running a car is nothing to complain about.

  174.  @Ryan-pe4vc  I didn't say I'd outsmarted the Dodge engineers. I said that US manufacturers have no incentive to make cars which are fuel efficient because petrol is so cheap that it doesn't matter.

  175.  @HenryCavill-cv3kz  3.8 litre for a US Gallon so it's only 755ml difference, and US mpg is still shit, I get it though because they have zero incentive to be efficient because their fuel is almost given away free

  183. @gr33nbanana3  I was referring to the inference that its ok that this car costs 60k because in a few years it will be available on the second hand market for 20k. I was simply pointing out in order for there to be a second hand market, there needs to be a sufficient number of people buying them new in the first place and frankly, why would they?
