Slowly, you guys are filling that TopGear sized void in my heart.
Agreed, this is much better than the current top gear
AND
They should still be going when the original trio retire
Absolutely agree
This is literally what I thought aswell
When they get Lewis Hamilton on as a guest then we will know they have surpassed Top Gear.
Its happening, it's happening everybody stay calm
I can't contain myself
This looks like it's gonna be great
ok
I feel the fizz.
OLD TOP GEAR VIBES
ITS GOOD TO BE BACK BOYS!!! Cheap Car Challenge!
Ironically the Saab is the only one you wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in...
Puma either
@@MJ-uk6lu nah I'll be kinda embarrassed lol
@@jeff1595 Why? It looks like a normal car, nothing particularly weird about it. It reminds me of Mazda MX-3.
Yeah the Saab is easily the best car there by far. The boys need to do their homework on the GM Saab saga as that car is much more than a vectra that’s why Saab went under.
@@MJ-uk6lu it looks wierd
The best definition of Multipla that I've heard: It's like a brothel, super-comfortable and enjoyable while you're inside, but when you get out of it you can't help but feel ashamed.
The best multipla is on his way right know
A French yt channel called Vilebrequin is currently making one that is gonna be over 1000hp 😅 it’s worth checking even if you don’t speak French
Michael Schumacher actually had a Multipla as his daily driver!!! god knows why. Plus is it just me that would of put the xmas trees in the other way around to go with the branches instead of against them ???
Unfair contest, Jack has previous experience going sideways on his daily drive
No Ellie Goulding this time though
Special thanks to that Royal Mail lorry-
@@jamesmijares6366 wait, was that Jack in the GTI?
@@richardharrold9736 it's him. He was at one point the most famous man in a Golf GTI
@@rockzs74r and he didn't even get a date with Ellie out of it... poor guy!
I kinda wish Saab were still around
Let’s hope one day their automotive branch will be revived or that NEVS will release their 9-3 to the world
Same
We need tesla to pick up the designers and rights
Indeed, i hope all Saab drivers keep it on the road, and maintain it very well. I love my Saab
@@PieterWigboldus General Motors hung them out to dry. Such a shame
For all of the shit they give Ethan, I love his energy. He's like a dog that has no idea what's going on but ready to party any minute.
@Jed Hall it's tounge in cheek but the hosts ig haha
He's like hammond
Party ????? What is your name >>> Nathan ?
he's a top notch lad
As a Swede, it warms my heart to see that SAAB is still going strong
Because Swedish cars are the best Volvo Saab can't go wrong with one I've previously owned a 89 volvo740 with well it displayed 323.000 miles but the clocks were broken so more like 400.000 still ran like new with no rust at all and everything worked to heated seats windows the lot
@@medler2110 nice that proves reliability kind of the same story for me but with a Volvo I was working for my uncle as a teen around 6 and a bit years ago our work car had a gear box issue so we picked up a Volvo 850 as a stopping gap was 300 pound brought of the bloke who got it new only 60.000 miles we put about 40.000 miles on it then got another van the van never lasted long we regretted selling the 850 as it's still on the road today I'll soon be getting another Saab or Volvo
Saab is the best!
You mean that Opel Vectra? :)))
@Mark Wehner I have the og 9-3 2l i and I am loving
How Alex was mucking about with that cupholder and Jack wanted to punch him 😂 i felt that 😂
@@Swoosh_TV get your link bait outta here
What I'll take from this video:
- Saabs are cool (but we all knew it)
- You guys don't know how to load a Christmas tree (except Alex)
Proof that the TG void will never be filled by clueless celebrities, only petrolheads
Like chris Harris?
@@mrbox111 new top gear isn't top gear, just one decent host doing stuff by himself
@@mrbox111 Chris Harris is alright though....
@@jarrusjenkins I think he was saying that Chris Harris is a petrol head, making the point that there’s at least one still left on top gear. He wasn’t saying Harris is a clueless celeb
Tbf those guys are actually all petrolheads big time. Look into them. They’ve all done track days they’ve all had proper cars. Flintoffs first car was a Porsche for fuck sake.
Now, all you need is special guests going around in that saab and you've got a show! ;)
Vectra*
a verified you tuber :)
I was thinking at the start of this episode that it felt very Top Gear. Now we just need a holiday special where they drive through the Amazon in 4x4s bought sight unseen through an online website.
and on that bomb shell
@@arinautic734 Massively modified Vectra...almost to the point of being a completely different car.
Ethan being his own hype man was brilliant. "COME ON ETHAN!!!!!"
Nobody else is gonna do it
Loved this
Shout out to Jack for throwing a backie in an automatic, diesel, front wheel drive Saab estate
yea that blew me away, i didnt know the saab was fwd from the way he drifted
bruh..I thought it was rwd too
@@mattmathew6706 ikr, it looked so fluid as the supra which is rwd. The only part I noticed is when the car straightened up again
It has some (minimal) passive rear wheel steering which helps oversteer a lil’ bit
It was epic, surprised me too
Budget old top gear...
We need more videos like this
I'm love it...
pa rara pa paaa...
Btec top gear but its not too bad truth be told. Il be watching.
They need more of the road trip videos, good combo of cars, exploration and banter.
Damn I miss Saab. The whole family had them growing up, such good cars and kinda a nostalgia trip for me.
We also had a saab when i was grownig up
I knew a guy who's dad was aparrantly a Saab salesman lol
still ride my '89 900 every day, lovely car.
17:32🤣🤣
"you're not my dad"
"I am today"
This had me creasing 😂😂
It's good seeing how Ethan's confidence has grown over the years, hes a right lil racer nower days!
Ethan's new name is now lil racer
Anyone else hurting inside at the way they put the Christmas tree in?
yeah... felt the need to comment too... trunk first FFS !!!
Always trunk first
it bothers me so got damn much, just fkn turn it around and throw it in! XD
they are trying to bend the crap out of those branches and scratch everything in its path
They could’ve put it in backwards
i'm having a hard Top Gear throwback. "TONIGHT jack buys a cupholder , Ethan gets an STD and I do a dance" 14:20 or " TONIGHT jack throws a shelf, Ethan throws a shelf and I throw a shelf"
"We ve have been set a series of challenges"
About time.
They just forgot «And i was the first to arrive»
If they drop a "COME ON GRIPPY PENIS WHEELS" in there I think I will burst laughing
@@stc3145 I know right? I mean "How hard can it be?"
@@davidknowles2491 "Still, could be worse"
Without even watching this: That Saab is the best daily no question if it's kept even slightly well during the years.
So true 👍👍 can’t beat an estate 😹
If a saab was good, then the brand would still exist 😂😂
@@danieljakobsen1289 no, it didnt die because saab was shit. It died because general motors is a disgusting company.
@@danieljakobsen1289 Also, Saab were very good at making cars, they just weren’t very good at making them profitable.
If you are good at making cars you don't stop doing it because of some bigger company or because you can't make profit out of them. If you stop you're just not good at making cars.
It took 15 years for people to realize how good SAAB really is. Thanks for killin it GM.
@@medler2110 Yep, remember when GM said "hey SAAB people, the message is COMMON PLATFORM CHASSIS... The base of all the models will be the same with just different cabins and body designs, so we can enjoy the economy of scale it gives us" ...and the saab guys just muttered a bit and made theirs a couple of inches longer... Shortly after, GM gave up trying to get SAAB to conform to modern car production philosophy and let the brand die. Same when ford bought JLR and tried to get them to be something remotely resembling profitable... No good being quirky if you just hemorrhage money
5:41 DYING! 🤣🤣🤣
8:33 First time seeing Ethan going into it hard. I guess Ben Collins did unlocked some bit of him.
22:15 Fiat screaming "KILL MEEE!"
Hooray to the SAAB, it is for sure the best allrounder for the budget.
as someone who used to be a saab tech, can confirm they are nice cars.
I was like yay! When I saw it.
That is by far the best drift I've ever seen in a Multipla.
I mean, it's also the only drift I've ever seen in a Multipla.
That passenger side rear tire though 😬
@@Ce0ammer it did not look at all satisfied with the process.
Oliver Amon posted a video called Multipla Drift, take a look at it, its brilliant
I'm ready to buy the Saab if Jack decides to sell it :)
It’s sorta funny how he still hasn’t sold it. It’s the only one that they’ve kept
Damn, Jack is one hell of a driver! He can really throw that Saab around!
Next weeks challenge: Your car must now pass an MOT test, points deduct for every pound spent to get it through. 😅
That multipla would be absolutely screwed
That'll be another win for the Saab then...
@@thatpersonsmusic why the multipla in particular?
Edit: ok just seen to the end of the drifting.
@@benholroyd5221 Is it not obvious that that car is on its last legs?
that puma is gonna need some chassis rust repairs 😂
The Saab wins. It is not a Vectra in Drag - it is a timeless motaaaaa
well said saaabsssss are tooooooo gooood
but it is a vectra in drag.
@Do One all a matter of opinion - that opinion being ...... the Saab is better... better built, solid engines and an individual car
I will probably get a 9-3 like that in a couple of years when I get my driver’s license. However I’ll probably buy a convertible or a saloon with a petrol engine and a manual.
Wait till they realise the Multipla has the same engine as the saab.
I loved that Saab. Looks sleek and nice. I’m a huge fan of 4-doors as well, and the hatchback style has always been my prefrence
A proud Saab 95 Aero (260bhp) owner here :-) 160000 miles on the clock and still going strong :-) If you look after it, it will look after you. Great video you guys.
Wanted the Saab to win within 5 seconds of the start, blatantly the best daily. 😂👍🏻
I wanted a 9-5 aero turbo wagon so bad but by the time I could afford one they were out of production
How on earth is that car £500? Even if it only runs for a day it's worth that to have broken down outside your house making you look good.
I drive one of these. They don't cost a lot more than that and they are pretty dull but you get an awful lot of car for the 💰
Got a 9-3 sedan with automatic, 400bhp and a good set of coilovers, the best car ive ever driven👌🏼
I had the 9-3 1.9tid vector. Forever in limp mode. Was overfuleing badly. So got rid. Do miss it though.
“oh there’s no Jesus handles” 🤣😂
I AM DYING🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was looking for this one.
This is a great episode. The petulant boy was a special touch.
"This is why mum left!" 😅
The irony of Jack winning at going sideways 😁
The ‘wa wa weewah’ at the start absolutely killed me 😂
Great success!
I like.
14:02 - Alex has officially started his transformation into Jeremy Clarkson. "Have I not won?"
And his go to challenge, a drag race.
True. The level of sympathy it's pretty much the same...
and upon loosing "this trial is rubbish" sounds vaguely familiar
Yep
“Wait Your not my dad!”
“I AM TODAY!!” 😂😂😂😂😂
20:00
I mean... This car is definitely more spacious and luxury compared to the others. Easy win here hahah
SAABs are seriously underrated and should feature on this channel more often.
No they shouldn't because they would destroy them and there aren't many about.
In Sweden where SAAB was invented they're one of the most common cars on the roads after Volvo.
@@Arnold-ln7ij I love both brands. They are stylish and very well made. I would love to own a mk1 saab 9-3 coupe. Such a beauty 💗
*DENTIST JET TURBO*
@@markkarm9253
I'd love a Saab 99, especially the earlier 'small tail light' version.
A guy near me has a bright red near mint Saab 96... and he pretty much dailies it.
Not even covid could live in that Multipla, Ethan has truely evolved.
I loved my multipla.
@@andyventures6574 Same, still do actually.
@@SuPerbMusiCFan mine got written off by a twat in a white van.
Reversed straight into me in a passing place near Foyers
@@andyventures6574 Sad days.
10:23 Jack pulled a Matt Watson there😂😂😂
When are we gonna see Clarkson, Hammond or May on the podcast?
Seriously though, that Saab is a beauty. Inside and out.
Right?! £500 too
@@Patchogs I know I want one, if only it were manual.
Some problem with engine. Headgasket?
@@kris-fd6hn HEDGASKET?!?!
@@Patchogs head gasket ;)
Jack's Saab is a looker! 😍
Sure is! They would of had alot more fun tho if they had a 2.3t 95. Not the 260hp one, but the 185hp
This is literally the reason why I used to watch Top Gear
12:49 "oh there is no jesus handles" 🤣🤣🤣
That Saab is so cool I’m sorry
Who doesn't like themselves a wagon?! SAAB FTW
There's a reason you cant find volvo wagons (except maybe the old 740s) that cheap
@Ken Norcott that's fair, except for the rust
might just be because i'm in sweden but the only saabs without rust i've seen are brand new ones or completely rebuilt old classics
Yup me! A 9.5 ! 2007 model ! Station.
400.k ! With no major issues. Best car i had zo far! ....Nissan Primera Honda Accord .fiat essee essee . Saab 9.5 /1999 . A 9.3/2006 .a .9.3/ B206R. Now a 9.5 vector ttid . 250bhp . At 550nm tourge .....💪🏻
That saab was a steal!
slow
“that is what it has in spades” this actually killed me😂😂😂 4:28
Ever since Ethan has had that lesson with Ben Collins, he's now very enthusiastic. Never thought I'd see the day😅
That was a quick half-hour, the sign of good entertainment :)
unless you fell asleep and woke up at the end?
obviously. But nah, genuine compliment guys. That almost sounds sentimental, oh no!
That Saab is the coolest one, would definitely have that one
500 for the saab, and they like fffttttthh, Geeez.
But its so much car for the money! And the position of the key. I know one person that got her hand pierced by a key on the keyring. Half the key was through the hand.
@@wodspy666 It was the nicest car.. but it was painfully slow off the line, you would have to be extremely patient to ever pull out onto the road in traffic.
@@iamezza theres versions with two turbos instead of one. 400nm and 150ish hp. Theyre not slow for a 2 ton estate car.
@@juliusillman2141 two turbos and still only makes 150bhp how did saab ever get a jet to take off the floor
@@babygravey I got the twin turbo it’s got 180hp and 400 nm of torque
This is what videos are all about! You guys have gone above and beyond. I was crying with laughter watching. Can’t wait for the next one. Absolutely FIRST CLASS!!!!!
Okay, but the Saab 😍 I miss them soo much..
The Saab is best I think looks good reliable cheap interesting well designed and leather seats
I own a saab 9-3 aero 2.0t petrol 240hp that car is amazing beautiful to drive very comfy snd has a lots of featurs that half of new cars dont so fuck tou ethan
Yeah, but it got left behind for 99% of the drag by a Multipla.
@@tSp289 That’s the Tdi one if it was a 2.0T it would of walked it
@@pilot4211 It also prob woudn't have been £500.
@@guyfromserbija2941 Have you gotten the airbag replaced? Shame about the Takata airbags.
That Saab just looks too good to be £500
i was surprised when i heard it is for that price
Just imagine how bad the rust problem is to drive the price that low
Unfortunately the rust is included, so maybe it's a fair price...
I paid £100 for a saloon the same age last year. Was destined for the scrappy and I was going to use it for spares. Decided to try for a MOT. Some new tyres and a new front spring saw a clean ticket and I sold it on to a mate to be his daily car.
Rust isn't usually what kills them off
Waxed, too
23:27 that reverse entry tho
Alex: This is the car equivalent of me. Good looking, nimble. Jack: And a piece of shit.
Dead
03:30
The key goes into the centre console in Saabs because it unlocks the gearbox. It's an anti-theft measure.
A literal anti-theft system
huh but who would steal a Saab? ha ha ha
That’s for the older saabs, not on this generation, on the older it would let you lock the car only if the cars in reverse and it would lock into that
No. The original reason to place the ignition lock in the centre console (on Saab 99) was indeed to avoid injury on drivers knee during a crash. The gearbox lock on reverse was simply done because a steering lock wasn't really feasible then.
Doesn't unlock nor lock the gearbox.
We’ve all been suggesting this since last year and Jesus.. this is the new top gear!
I hate it when dudes say Saabs are just rebadged Vauxhalls, the reason why GM was so poor when they owned Saab is because they always went their own way, Saab had a better Sat-nav, a better Stereo, and sometimes even better engines.
Love the vid guys, keep it up!!
Ethan your confidence behind the wheel is now awesome! Keep going, great to see you grow as a driver!
Proud owner of a 93 SportHatch 1.9 TTId 2008 here! ✈️
And remember lads,
SAAB
Iconic to many, lived by a selected few.
I bought saab 9-3 ttid aero, 2 days ago!

owner of a 93 1.9TTiD Vector from 2011 for 2 months now, it's a fucking pleasure to drive. 110k miles but exterior looks brand new, inside everything is functional and leather barely faded
Haven't even watched it yet but Jack wins with that Saab
I agree. That beautiful Saab!!
@@AndreiAndrei-rt4po yeah rusty and crusty in the fenders. So it's a real beauty 😂😂🤡🤡

Really good stuff, it kept me entertained from start to the end! Thanks!
“We’ve hired a 25 year old child”
well the americans hired a 74 year old child...
Alex
“It’s goh cruise controwl, levva” 😂😂😂👌🏻👍🏻
Hahahahahaha I died at this🤣😂
Brilliant video, reminiscent of TG at its best (which I imagine was the intention so, kudos) Thanks guys
I like the new Ethan, that driving lesson worked wonders 😂
This genre was created and popularised by TopGear
And here I think
Alex is clarkson
Jack is Hammond
Ethan is May
But may is knowledgable about cars. Otherwise though yeah exactly.
@@thomashanson6603 also May would be triggered so hard by that interior 😅😂😂
These 3 would be much more enjoyable at the current top gear 💯
Isn't jack too tall to be Hammond 😂
I thought the same
Ethan: thats quite a lot of rust
Me: **laughs in Canadian**
Showroom worth in Ontario.
We’d call that “mint condition.”
@@benjaminschmied7998 They ship em from the factory like that in Quebec.
I could see the bloody road from the inside of my Ford WIndstar when I lived in Quebec. Canadian car rusts in 5 years like UK one rusts in 20 years
Laughs in illinois.
If this was a TV show in the early 2000's it would deffo be a contender against top gear, genuine lads having a laugh at crappy cars that are a load of fun, love it
Brilliant guys. Entertaining, simple and well funny. Thankyou
YES! Proper Top Gear-style content, you love to see it!! 🔥🔥
Mom: “We have the Grand Tour at home”
Grand Tour at Home:
To be fair it's more similar to early top gear
In my opinion,Grand Tour is Car Throttle is at home because I feel C.T. is wayyy better.
@@sarangtambe3585 your opinion is wrong lol
@@iaw7406 opinions are opinions, they cant be wrong
Saab 9-3 ftw, that guy tried so hard pissin on it gg :)
Really felt like a TG episode - loved it. Hats of to the film editors and directors 👏🏾👏🏾 (also 23:03 Peter McKinnon music hahah)
TONIGHT:
I whip it
Jack says “wake up”
And ethan wins us at a race
And on that terrible disappointment, for Alex, it's time to end the show.
"Wait you're not my dad!".... "I am today"
Legendary
You should do more challenges like this, a modern version of the old top gear cheap car challenges, I love it!
Absolutely loved the episode boys. With this & the podcast your just winning. Keep up the good work
So much Top Gear vibes. Could be going like "I was the first to arrive" or "I'm the only who has done this properly" 😂✌🏻
I actually really like that Saab, the other two cars are hideous
You are smoking crack
@@elnyoutube123 you got heroine up your arse
@Anon73618 You really think the Puma looks generic compared to a Miata? Really? What else on the road looks anything like a Puma?
@Anon73618 I have to disagree with you on that. The Puma looks like a Puma from a mile away. A Miata just looks like a generic blob designed by slaves.
I like the Saab too. Estates are cool. Saab’s are cool. The alloys are mean. Love the roof rack and all that space. Cruise control. Lovely interior. That’s actually a bloody nice motor
This is simply "old top gear trio 2.0" !!!
im busy watching every video you guys ever posted this is so far the best cant wait for the rest
You’ve made a Saab owner very happy with this video.
Ohhh, I know you from Instagram. Love your 9-3. Get every SAAB fanboy in this comment section 😂
Same here aha! I've seen your car on the Facebook groups a lot, looks great!
@@sonconmas thank you 👍🏻
@@nxthxntbx08 definitely 😂
I haven’t yet watched the video, I don’t know what the outcome will be, but I don’t care. I already know that I’m choosing the SAAB as the winner
Need much more like this lads, Jack had me creasing, "your not my dad " , "iam today "🤣
Great video guys! You should make a follow up about cleaning the multipla. 👍👍👍
Saab 9-3 and a vectra doesnt even share the same platform tho, well they do but saab reworkt it and changed everything including the weelbase
@Do One Dude i own 2, its not the same trust me
@Do One and its not Vauxhall its the GM platform manufactured by opel. Vauxhall is just a license manufacturer of opel cars
It's 95 Saab that's the Vectra platform
them speaking about the saab like that makes me so sad
So happy to finally se a Saab on the channel. I've owned 2 Saabs and they have never let me down, great cars.
I really hope SAAB continues their car production some day
It was so cool seeing growth in Ethan using what he learned last week today!
The old top gear format, love it.
