These “modern” cars with their “remote control car keys” lack this charm and prevents you from truly appreciating your car. Thank you peugeot
I have a peugot and my turbo charger is losing pressure whenever I'm at high rpm. That means I can never go fast enough to put myself in serious danger. Great safety feature! 👍
@@ThatSilentGuyThat's a safety feature to let you know you're driving waaay too fast for a 107. If you keep going faster I think it gently pops the airbags to tell you to slow down.

@@abecadlo15 Two roundabouts, just linked together. As a biker, I find the best bet is to wait for a small gap, and then just accelerate through and be gone and out of the danger zone before anyone else can move.
A close friend of mine once had a 206 and it had cost so much in repairs that he eventually sold it. i think this is an amazing safety feature because its stops you from driving your peugeot, which reduces the chance you get in an accident.
Peugeot’s aren’t sold in the US and that is an incredible safety feature because the chance you will get in a car accident in the US, with a Peugeot is slim to none. BRILLIANT!!! Edit, 1/15/25 This is the most likes I’ve ever gotten on a comment, thanks!
It's also a safety feature that prevents Peugeot from being sued into oblivion - you Americans are a litigious bunch and wouldn't tolerate the abysmal quality of their cars. I'm serious when I say that at least 90% of the cars I see broken down on the road here are Peugeot, Renault, or Citroen.
Now that Peugeot merged with Chrysler, it's possible that they'll come over. EDIT: It's already happening. Peugeot is working on a compact SUV that will be rebadged as a Jeep. EDIT 2: And now Dodge is thinking of using a rebadged Peugeot 9x8 for the IMSA SportsCar championship.
@@Kevin-mx1vi lol all the broken down cars here are German, Italian, and British. I don’t understand why Europeans think German quality and reliability is a thing
It is genuinely one of the funniest bits. Clarkson’s ability to stay as calm as he was while almost literally sitting in a fire is absolutely priceless 😂😂
Our Peugeot Partner has an incredible safety feature which is that the driver's window to avoid breaking emits sounds in the form of squeaks and * cracks * and as a Preventive method, it no longer rises or falls, making you have to operate the Crystal manually by hand, quite brilliant in my opinion.
+shad0wpk02 Pretty straightforward if you're used to roundabouts already. Same as a standard roundabout, except there are two. Just yield whenever you have to cross a yield line, else you have right of way. And use them turn signals :) There are a few of these in France, usually on weirdly shaped intersections in which a perfect circle wouldn't fit, or just for technical traffic flow reasons: It offers a shortcut for cars that want to take a left onto the busiest of both roads without crossing the path of the cars coming from their right. (in a scenario where cars drive on the right side of the road like continental Europe) Here's an aerial shot of one in Nantes, FR: www.google.fr/maps/@47.2332506,-1.5658303,93m/data=!3m1!1e3
My 2016 308 had this great feature where the AC stopped working, making you not have to worry about the temperature in the car because it wasn't something you could affect. Later on the AdBlue system just prevented the car from starting at all, making it probably one of the safest cars on the market but not on the roads.
That's a common feature the wire for the outside temperature snaps thus stopping you and your car from knowing how incredibly hot it is and stop you worrying about climate change.

There is a little old lady in my town who drives a 206 and she NEVER seems to change out of first gear. Always reminds me of how hilariously accurate they were with this sketch!
@@soundseeker63 I witnessed an old woman pulling out of a petrol station on the bite point absolutely burning the clutch of a honda jazz and it pained me
At some point my 206 developed an amazing feature: if you wanted to use the indicators the headlights must be turned on. Also the CD player had an AI feature which allowed it to only play the disks it preferred. Lastly, the battery failed in two occasions when we needed to return home from holidays. It was such a great car that I gave it for free. I advised the new owner (first car buyer) to use the money he was supposed to pay me for a thorough service inspection.
Yeah. Stupid right?! I drive a Peugeot 307 and I put it on the steering wheel itself, in the middle where the horn is. Can see everything on the navigation system so much better without disturbing the view!
In my Peugeot I mount the sat nav behind me so it doesn't obscure my view at all. Things seem to get very noisy/bumpy/screamy when I'm looking at it though.
@@mrfish9876 Oh that's probably a smart choice. I never thought of that actually. I'll try on the motorway today while on my way home from work. Thanks for the tip fellow Peugeot driver!

There's a double mini roundabout in the village I live in and it's almost always the Peugeot drivers that wait the longest and then cut someone off or don't indicate.
geez, why does ANY place in the world even have a "double mini roundabout"? i'd say it means one must put down a nice double donut burnout before proceeding (attention peugeot drivers: this will not work with your car!)
My Peugeot 508 Has this brilliant feature where it would leak oil everyday and I would need to pour new oil every month, this is brilliant as this secures that my car is always running on the freshest possible substances. Great safety feature
My dad's 406 used to cut out when coming to a stand still so it would save fuel and not only that the often immobiliser jammed so he could arrive at work later and avoid the rush hour traffic which could have led him to have an accident. Excellent safety features.
My aunts husband told me of a Peugeot driver whom he witnessed trying to park in between two cars. She ended up not only smashing both the cars but also wedging her own car in between so she couldn't get out and my aunts husband had to help. It's great how this top gear episode is sarcastic yet completely true
Ive had real bad depression and some times get silly thoughts every time i feel low i watch this video and im back to me again. Ive seen it a number of times but never gets old
To be fair, the 407 took the beating well, by the look of it. The damage wasn't that bad. I actually owned a 407 and liked the design at the time. The ride was very comfortable too. And.... let's not forget that Richard Hammond gave it a glowing review for Top Gear when it came out (series 4, episode 10) :)
They're not bad. Top Gear is full of crap. Clarkson actually praised the 206 as a good car in one of the earlier seasons when it was launched. And the 206 is Peugeot's best selling cars ever. Nothing wrong with them. Was my first car too and I bet thousands of other around the world. Don't believe Too Gear. It's just a TV show for entertainment. Clarkson and May don't have to bother with Peugeot. They can troll it was much as they want. Because they have millions to buy Ferraris and Lambos
@@SherwinR89 congratulations, you have detected that this episode is, indeed, sarcasm on an entertainment show, so thus not 100% accurate. Very astute observation, wish I could have realized it myself.

Just this summer one of my relatively short journeys I overtook three cars going way slow. All Peugeots driven by old geezers and every time I imagined how they mutter out "maniac" as I pass them. By third I could not stop laughing for a good while.
@@timwiesler6365 this era of french car really wasnt great, they tried electronic things but wasnt really prepared. But olders are really great, and now they just need bigger engines
The heater resistors in those 307s are extremely well know for setting themselves on fire due to badly designed pins in the resistor plug that ark and set fire to the wiring harness. This is what most likely happens to Clarkson's, albeit with a little bit of exaggeration!
+Lorenzo David wait, seriously? If that's true his TG won't even make it past one season. I was being generous by saying they'd have to cancel his TG midway through season two due to the massive drop in viewers but if he can't even talk while driving.....he'll struggle to get past one season.

The camera shots of people in a garden center had been edited in from a real one, but the camera shots of J&J reading the "news"paper had been made in the studio. The parking area was a fake.

Honestly how is that supposed to work, are you supposed to do couple donuts, and then you can take a exit or what?
@@abecadlo15 I dont have the slightest idea. I have never seen a double roundabout in my life and hopefully I never will.
Let me introduce you to the "magic roundabout" in Swindon. 5 mini roundabouts joined together to create one massive roundabout hahaha
@@preussen577 I used to go over the magic roundabout to go to work every day, it’s not too bad. I guess I live in Swindon so I’m used to it but I can imagine it’s a lot if you have never been over it 😂
@@abecadlo15 Two roundabouts, just linked together.
As a biker, I find the best bet is to wait for a small gap, and then just accelerate through and be gone and out of the danger zone before anyone else can move.
A close friend of mine once had a 206 and it had cost so much in repairs that he eventually sold it. i think this is an amazing safety feature because its stops you from driving your peugeot, which reduces the chance you get in an accident.
My brother's 206 GTI had a great safety feature. The battery would go flat on a cold winters day to stop him stop sliding or skidding on black ice.

Oh... Wait a minute...
Peugeot’s aren’t sold in the US and that is an incredible safety feature because the chance you will get in a car accident in the US, with a Peugeot is slim to none. BRILLIANT!!!
Edit, 1/15/25
This is the most likes I’ve ever gotten on a comment, thanks!
It's also a safety feature that prevents Peugeot from being sued into oblivion - you Americans are a litigious bunch and wouldn't tolerate the abysmal quality of their cars.
I'm serious when I say that at least 90% of the cars I see broken down on the road here are Peugeot, Renault, or Citroen.
Now that Peugeot merged with Chrysler, it's possible that they'll come over.
EDIT: It's already happening. Peugeot is working on a compact SUV that will be rebadged as a Jeep.
EDIT 2: And now Dodge is thinking of using a rebadged Peugeot 9x8 for the IMSA SportsCar championship.
@@VigilanteAgumon Oh no we’re screwed
Still, the Mustangs and whatnot over in the US still pose a safety risk.

Shame they didn't go down a motorway, then they could have driven at 65mph in the middle lane with the indicator flashing constantly...

No that's how Peugeot's are supposed to be driven. And also Nissan Micra's. No other car though.
Priuses aswell. Although they might go a lot slower because fuel efficiency.
Zero Ninety Z
one prius model can only go 60mph
Our Peugeot Partner has an incredible safety feature which is that the driver's window to avoid breaking emits sounds in the form of squeaks and * cracks * and as a Preventive method, it no longer rises or falls, making you have to operate the Crystal manually by hand, quite brilliant in my opinion.
I don't know what Jeremy's complaining about. He pressed the button to increase the temperature and that's exactly what happened!
he isnt complaining
he loved the design future
He wasn't complaining! That's indeed a great design feature, as mentioned by Jezza. Really authentic.
Wasn’t complaining
I didn't hear him complaining
I applaud Jeremy for sitting in a smoke filled car with a fire beside him for a gag.
To be fair, you'd get the same reaction if you showed the double mini roundabout to an American.
American, can confirm.
+Clockwork Ninja even germans have no clue
Norwegian.. Never seen one in my life
Never seen one in the netherlands also. I'd probably panic and cause a massive crash in the middle. How do they work?
+shad0wpk02 Pretty straightforward if you're used to roundabouts already. Same as a standard roundabout, except there are two. Just yield whenever you have to cross a yield line, else you have right of way. And use them turn signals :)
There are a few of these in France, usually on weirdly shaped intersections in which a perfect circle wouldn't fit, or just for technical traffic flow reasons: It offers a shortcut for cars that want to take a left onto the busiest of both roads without crossing the path of the cars coming from their right. (in a scenario where cars drive on the right side of the road like continental Europe)
Here's an aerial shot of one in Nantes, FR: www.google.fr/maps/@47.2332506,-1.5658303,93m/data=!3m1!1e3
My 2016 308 had this great feature where the AC stopped working, making you not have to worry about the temperature in the car because it wasn't something you could affect. Later on the AdBlue system just prevented the car from starting at all, making it probably one of the safest cars on the market but not on the roads.
That's a common feature the wire for the outside temperature snaps thus stopping you and your car from knowing how incredibly hot it is and stop you worrying about climate change.
Peugeot drivers: We don’t drive like that!
Also Peugeot drivers: watching this in their car in a ditch
I love peugeot and I laugh
Hey cut that out! I love my Peugeot 307CC! Kept me nice and dry when the car was unintentionally submerged in the ocean due to a faulty satnav
DinoDudeRocket 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As Peugeot driver I can confirm I am currently watching this in a ditch.
THE REMARKABLE DETAILS OF THE 307CC:it was a succesfful sales car in germany and with 206 cc were a boom of sales coupe cabriolet cars with metal roof in the world. The metal roof give more weight to the car so not superfast car but the metal roof is not easy to damage as canvas roof in the streets.Peugeots cc were whim cars.Nice cars to the beach no to rainy london england.The roof mechanism of the 307CC was produced by the company named "CTS Car Top Systems", which produces the roof mechanisms of Ferrari F430, Mercedes SLK, SL and Porsche Boxster, Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac XLR and Lexus' convertible series.
The rear led lights of the 307CCs were produced by the German company "AL Automotive Lightening", which produced the rear led lights of the Audi R8 in 2008.
The tiptronic automatic transmission of the 2.0 136 hp version of the 307CC was manufactured by Porsche.
The piston rods, pistons and other piston elements in the engine of the 2.0 180 hp Sport version of the 307CC were manufactured by "Mahle", which manufactures piston sets in Ferrari's Formula 1 vehicles.
Peugeot participated in the World Rally Championships in 2004 and 2005 with 307CC. Peugeot equipped the 2.0 180 hp Sport version with a 4x4 rally kit, boosting its engine with turbo and reaching 580 NM torque and 315 hp. The 307CC WRC won the Rally Finland with Marcus Grönholm in 2004, the Rally of Finland with Marcus Grönholm in 2005, and the Rally of Japan with Marcus Grönholm in 2005.

At some point my 206 developed an amazing feature: if you wanted to use the indicators the headlights must be turned on. Also the CD player had an AI feature which allowed it to only play the disks it preferred. Lastly, the battery failed in two occasions when we needed to return home from holidays. It was such a great car that I gave it for free. I advised the new owner (first car buyer) to use the money he was supposed to pay me for a thorough service inspection.

7:55 the way Jeremy jolts gets me every time
My cousin just bought a Peugeot 107 for 8 Grand! 8 GRAND! What a maniac!
Even if you move the decimal point one place that's still too much. He or she needs to be accompanied when out of the house.
Yobo!
That's a mistake
Thats terrible!! Could have bought a proper car for that much. A very decent proper car in fact! A fool and their money....
Yeah, like my sons BMW E93 330D SE HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE COST LESS THAN THAT!! (his was under 7K)Plus its got FSH and 75K on the clock. A serious lot of car for the money!!
5:30 my heart broke in half. How could they hurt an innocent mr2??
in europe its just an old garbage
1:that could be his favourite/dream car if someone damaged your dream/favourite car you would be upset
2:it isn't garbage it beat an Acura NSX, Toyota Supra, and Ferrari 348 in a quarter mile race, both cars that are 2x 3x 4x the value and it's rwd and mid engined
@@sex_therapist xd
@@sex_therapist The Japanese had a turbo version while the rest of the world had NA which was actually kind of slow. Anyway you can get one here for £900 ish.. And with dents it's all the more affordable. Anyway, pretty easy dream car to get hold of.
@@georgekurgansky5986 yep i wanted to get one for the last month but im 15 :(
When his dash caught fire from his heater antics I nearly died laughing 🤣
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm happy they keep uploading these clips. More enjoyment to be had from our favourites.
Yeah but the bbc are still making money off it which is the only bad thing
+crossfades456 good for them to make money
+crossfades456 if u r that anti BBC use ad block. But they really dont make that much money on this.
Andrew Bulman BBC made about 4 million us dollars from this!
I like how they just don't care that they're holding everyone up and smashing their cars
Suspect they're paying those people pretty well
The parked cars in the garden centre were most likely placed there intentionally. They won’t be the public’s cars!
@@user-ot4wm2fh8g that red MR2 is one of their previous challenge cars and had that damage already. The other cars probably were too.
They were not in a garden center at all. The camera shots of people in a garden center had been edited in from a real one, but the camera shots of J&J reading the "news"paper had been made in the studio. The parking area was a fake. Most likely built in the studio area. I also bet the village with the double mini roundabout has never ever seen so much traffic, like on this day ;)

7:50 - Ah, that house that Jeremy crashed into is his actual house! Er... it _was_ his actual house. During the filming of The Grand Tour, he loses a bet and James and Richard blow it up.
Oh you watch Grand Tour too!
yeah except thats not exactly how it went down. in some article i read about it after i saw that episode in the gran tour Jeremys family wasnt living there anymore cuz they were already about to knock it down to rebuild a new one
DMT Racing Exactly, Cuz why does he want to knock down his house IF THERE IS NO Reason about it. He already wants to build a new one anyways.
Rajeev Sood yep he spent like 5 mill or something to build one in its place i think
DMT Racing 5 Million GBP? (Great british pounds)
3 men who weren’t afraid to offend anyone.
We need more people like them.
