  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.

  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.  @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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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

  19.  @noname-gp6hk  there's plenty of fantastic modern cars around.

  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.

  21.  @JayEmmOnCars  you probably explained in video but haven't had chance to watch in full yet.

  22. Sedans or saloons as they're called are just stupid. Unless they have a hatchback they're a waste of time.

  25.  @brentfairlie9159  It's one of the ugliest cars on UK roads.

  26.  @CarsofGlasgow  You mean Cadillac who the rest of the world just don't even consider and which isn't even available in most?

  27. I very nearly bought one of these a few years ago. Always liked them despite the naysayers.

  28.  @petesmith1924  15mm wheel spacers? Ha ha ha. Why on earth would you mention that?

  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.

  33. Their business model was laughable.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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

  42. @fortheloveofnoise  You must live in America to make such a ridiculous claim (and to call an MX-5 a Miata)

  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.

  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.

  46.  @marvinsamuels1237  Yes, but if you only demonise cars, you are doing practically nothing to address the problem.

  47. Thise were terrible cars. My third ever car was an MGZS, it was made of the worst steel ever. A laughable car that was embarrassing

  48. Doubt you would. With more money comes different tastes and expectations.

  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?
