American Reacts to European Car Show - Festival of the Unexceptional

[@furiousdriving]

Hi, thanks for featuring this video of mine, very happy to share our slice of the motoring world! The turquoise coupe at the beginning (the Tomcat) is from the early '90s and is a Rover 220 Coupe - and the Honda guess was very close. Rover and Honda co-developed their 80s and 90s ranges together so they have a lot of similarities. I have one of the Rovers and an Alfa 145 so there are a videos about those car on the channel

[@helmutkok7833]

at 9:42 it's a VW Lupo, there was model named 3L. Because it "kind of" could do 100 km on 3 liters of disel

[@ClockDev]

That's over 78 MPG for our North American friends :-) To achieve that it has a inline-3 (yes) 1.2 L Turbo Diesel engine with an automatic transmission, and has aluminium and magnesium alloys in doors and other body parts to have less weight

[@TheAquarius1978]

But it vever did lol, it use to do 5 or 6l for 100km

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

On the Alfa Romeo, the Tspark was exactly that. 2 sparkplugs per cylinder. Bit more power and cleaner running as the second spark burnt any leftover gasses. They fired a spit second after the 1st plug.

[@CobraChicken1302]

As a non Bot i have to agree with them, you are cranking out some gems lately. 😂 not your standard reaction channel, this is a real guy learning out of genuine interest and taking us along for the ride. You're doing it right 🤘❤️

[@Bot.number.69420]

I agree. So gem. Much reaction. Very entertainment.

[@CobraChicken1302]

@Bot.number.69420 ok Leo, nice one 🤣 69 and 420 , seems you're living the good life 😉

2:02 - Rover late 90's 200 series. 2:35 - Rover 200 coupe, a Honda Concerto in different skin. Many Rover cars are just reskinned Hondas. 3:08 - Rover. 3:11 - Volvo 960 / S90. 5:45 - Peugeot 404, was very popular in Africa 20 years ago. 6:42 - T.Spark = twin spark, 2 spark plugs per cylinder for more efficient combustion. 8:28 - Volvo 300 series, lightweight and rear wheel drive. You could easily fit it with 2.3 Turbo engine from 740. 😀 9:42 - VW Lupo. 11:06 - Matra Murena. 11:18 - Austin Allegro estate. 14:35 - You had them in US, called Merkur XR4Ti, but those were 3 door cars. 24:25 - these two are named Renault Megane.

[@AngelinaJolie734]

3:50 Citroën Xsara Break 9:55 Vauxhall Astra GTE (do not confound with Opel Kadett GSi) 10:22 Only in UK. 🤷‍♀ 14:35 Ford Sierra (Merkur XRKTi is based on the coupe version, but is powered with the 2.3L Turbo used on the first TBird Turbo Coupe) 20:43 Ford Cortina

[@crocsmart5115]

Can I suggest a channel,”Hub Nut” he specialises in the mundane vehicles,but being an ex motoring journo is knowledgeable about most vintage cars too.

[@DenUitvreter]

I have seen him ignore a Maserati Bora for the rear windscreen wiper of some Japanes compact. It doesn't get more down to earth than that, he did some nice old Citroen BXs too. But also more coveted classics lately. He also did an "every car worthy" festival in the Netherlands, which were mainly quirky cars, very invidual choices of ordinary priced cars that are a bit different.

[@MINKIN2]

Another upvote for Hub Nut. Ian is a walking encyclopedia of random car knowledge.

[@JS-1983]

From here also one vote for Ian and Hubnut as well as Matt (who talks in that video) and Furious Driving, love those channels. 😎👍 Matt imported ex-cop Crown Vic from Usa and it had lots of serious rust. Ian from Hubnut imported Ford Fairmont from Australia. You really should look road test videos from those channels 😀

[@KaterChris]

And he owns a 2001 Aussie Ford Fairmont! Stumbled upon his channel because he did a review of a Daewoo Espero and loved it! I did have an Espero as my first car, so somewhat emotionally attached to it 😄

[@ianmorris7682]

Good suggestion and a friend of Matt,(Furious Driving.) Check out their recently held gathering “Rustival.”

[@NLoGBB]

In my country the Ford Granada was known as a smash'n'grab robbers car until some Volvo picked up the torch.

[@mystisith3984]

The UK vintage auto scene is awesome. Plenty of quirky & fun stuff, at decent prices too compared to what can be found in 🇪🇺 if you don't mind your steering wheel on the wrong side. 😜

[@Kevinlinnane]

Btw , the metro you looked at … check out the rally 6r4 metro .. you will be surprised and smiling 😮

[@gaborcsuzdi7006]

Actually, the star of the Furious Driving channel, whose name is Matt, also has a Crown Vic.

[@janmortensen9314]

The former rust bucket... so much welding

[@Kevinlinnane]

Ok , so mini is a mini, the name cooper is a racing name derived from the rally driver John cooper , who built a mini rally car back in the 60s and kicked everything out of the way. So the mini … cooper … is a high spec version of the original mini .

[@esaedvik]

Which is also why they have the John Cooper Works versions with more spice.

[@Kevinlinnane]

@ yeah , that’s way different to the modern badged up bmw version 😂😭😂

[@tsu177]

and the mini was sold under different british brands like austin, rover, morris

[@GoldenCroc]

Wow, from Furiousdriving. I am a huge fan of that channel and guy who runs it, I watch everything he puts out. Its a super wholesome everyday bloke whos into cars, in the best way possible.

[@audunaa1494]

The Mini One you also could get with a Toyota diesel, 1,5ccm or something near that, 90hp. The One is the most basic version, Cooper was the more sporty expencive option(GTI class)

[@101steel4]

My mates mum had a mini back in the day. She used to take us to Rugby practice. Her and 4 passengers, varying from 6'4 to 6'8. As you can imagine it was a bit cramped 😂😂

[@JS-1983]

You described the Austin Allegro station wagon perfectly, so weird and ugly it's already cool. 😄

[@etherealbolweevil6268]

Slightly less rust prone than the (almost identical) Alfasud.

[@TalkieToaster.]

The Metro was basically a MINI with a square body, and the replacement to the MINI. It had MINI running gear and parts were interchangeable between the two for the most part. The MINI also ended up with the turbo engine from the Metro in the ERA Turbo.

[@esaedvik]

It's funny seeing an Austin Mini, a "New" Mini and then a brand new Mini Countryman or such next to each other. I have an '05 supercharged Cooper S and it was TINY next to a Countryman :D

[@martinsv9183]

In Europe you could get a basic MB S-class with hand crank windows, cloth seats and manual transmission in the 70/80's. But still got the really nice quiet ride and interior space.

[@JoriDiculous]

Back then MB was a badge of quality and "luxury", even for the cheap models.

[@Busfles984]

@Iwrocker The Ford Sierra, the white car next o the red mini was sold in the US as Merkur XR4Ti from 1985 -1989 European Ford Scorpio was sold in the US as Merkur Scorpio.

[@DamianIbberson]

Regarding the Ford Sierra, you did get them in the States, as the Merkur XR4Ti (the equivalent of the Sierra XR4i here).

[@etherealbolweevil6268]

Also Escorts, i had a Mercury 'something' as a rental in 1981. Basically an FWD Escort estate, with a 1.6 US 4 cylinder engine, air con, electric doodaahs everywhere, Drove nearly as well as a European Escort, apart from the very low power from the American engine routed through a lethargic automatic box. Back in the days of using the Aircon for braking down long steep hills.

[@DamianIbberson]

The Austin Metro was originally intended to be the replacement for the iconic Mini, but were sold side by side for many years

[@etherealbolweevil6268]

The basis for the MG-F.

[@Dingo-x]

I had a Granada ghia during the 90s in the UK. There was no power steering and it was built like a tank. It was a good workout when i first started to drive it, but it was super comfortable for it's day.

[@JoriDiculous]

We had one for a short time too. Pretty decent car for its time but real shit in the winter. had to put lots of weight in the back to get anywhere 😂

Cooper in a Mini is a spec model. Minis were maid by Morris (like in MG - Morris Garage) and by Austin. Mini's could be One, Clubman, Ima, GT's, Special's, Moke...850's, 1000,'s, 1100's up to 14000's.

[@SiqueScarface]

11:15 The idea behind the Austin Allegro Estate was to have a two door sedan to drive to your sports venue, and an estate trunk to have your golf bag with you.

[@thomasalbrecht5914]

11:24 “look at those lines, they’re horrible in the best way” - you understood the Austin “all aggro” (Allegro) at first glance. It was a belated replacement for the British bestseller of the 1960s, the Pininfarina-embellished ADO 16 Austin/Morris 1100/1300 model, featured in this clip as an MG and referred to by our correspondent as the “ADO” (all BMC models were ADO really, because it’s the code for the car project while in development). The Allegro, as others here have commented, has an extremely bad reputation because it came out when British Leyland’s quality issues were at their worst. But it mostly suffered from the empty coffers of the company during development - in fact in a time when most of the competition had moved to real hatchbacks with good packaging, modern engines, and variable interiors, the Allegro saloon was a heavily restyled shell on basically the same layout as the car it replaced, but with less appealing style and slightly worse packaging - it had a small trunk lid, no folding rear seats, and the ageing A- and B-series four cylinder engines dating back to the fifties. And on top of that, it was unreliable and rusted in the brochure.

[@obelic71]

Like the Alfasud the extra's labour strikes (f.e. bodyshells stood unprotected outdoors) and sabotage the Allegro became the bench mark of everything that was wrong with British Leyland. So the poor guy who bought one with those free of charge extra's became a regular customer of the AA!

[@Kommisar_Lutter]

Those allegro lines are also very similar to usdm AMC Gremlin!

[@obelic71]

@@Kommisar_Lutter The AMC Gremlin is a frankenstein car, they just chopped a part of to make a compact car, The original design of the Allegro was a stunning design, BL altered the porportions to fit existing BL parts in thats why it looks like a blowfish.

[@thomasalbrecht5914]

12:14 the Matra Murena has the gear lever between the driver’s and the middle seat. It’s a mid engined design and rather wide. Looks a hundred thousand dollars and cost 20,000. Engines were a 1.6 90 hp and a 2.2 140 hp. It had a plastic resin bodywork on a zinc plated chassis.

[@rasmuswi]

Matras are cars you REALLY don't see anymore. At least here in Swwden, the Bagheeras used to be somewhat common, but I haven't seen one in decades now.

[@charlottehardy822]

My parents had an Austin allegro for years. Performed really well.

[@IanDarley]

You would be surprised how much there is in the original Mini. You should check out some classic saloon car racing between Minis, Mustangs, Camaros, V8 Rovers etc. The Minis pass everything through the bends on three wheels and the big V8s just about overtake again at the end of the straights - rinse and repeat, really exciting racing.

[@roberthopwood3758]

[@patrickhein6986]

9:54 That Grey Car is not a Peugeot, it´s an Opel Kadett GSI/Vauxhall Kadett GTC

[@MrCaprinut]

Sold as Pontiac Lemans in US. Their GSI equivalent was called GSE so they had those.

[@ankhayratv]

2:33 Rover! "looks like a Honda" ... yes, they had a relationship with Honda, and used Honda models as the base for the design of their own models.

[@MichelR67]

Volvo 360 at 8:30 was the first second hand car I bought in 1986 when I was 19. Followed by a 440 GLT, V40 old model, twice C30, twice V40 new model and now XC40. Been driving Volvo ever since. Volvo for Life.

[@MrCaprinut]

I'm currently driving a 04' V40. Only thing botthering me is the lack of 2 way steering wheel and the seat posistion is too high even by lowest setting. And it takes way less cargo than my former car did which was a Mk3 Mondeo. Other than than there are miniimal problems with it.

[@module79l28]

2:37 - It's not a coupé, Ian, it's a 2-door sedan. You can immediately tell by the open boot. 😉 3:45 - I'm surprised by his surprise to see an Xsara estate, I thought they were as popular in other european countries as they were here in Portugal. 4:25 - The Paseo was sold here too, so it wasn't a Japan or US-only vehicle. 5:45 - Another very popular pickup here, some of them are still being driven around here where I live. 6:40 - T-Spark means twin spark, i.e. two spark plugs per cylinder. 9:45 - VW hatches, from the smallest to the "biggest": Up, Lupo, Polo and Golf. Now you have no excuse for not knowing one if you see it. 🙂 9:55 - Oops, that's not a Peugeot, Ian! It's a Vauxhall Astra GTE, a rebranded Opel Kadett GSI. But I understand why you mistook the Vauxhall logo for the Peugeot one. 11:40 - Not really. The estate was just a modified version of the coupé, so the tail lights are not an after-thought, they're in the coupé's original place. 24:05 - He was wrong about those Renaults, they're not 19s, they're 1st gen Meganes.

[@Kent.]

9:55 that's a Vauxhall Astra GTE or Opel Kadett GSI in other countries than GB if you talking about the grey hatcback.

[@Tonyblack261]

Lol! I had a beige Sierra. I drove from south Wales to the south of France in it.

[@Tonyblack261]

Wow! I also had a Ford Cortina Mk.3 in white with a black vinal roof.

[@Hipas_Account]

FuriousDriving has a lot of cool reviews of older more normal and mundane cars that have since become rare like for example that Mondeo, and usually the videos aren't too long, so if there are any older Euopean cars you feel like exploring, there is a good chance he has a review of one that shows a good deal of the car, and tells a little about their impact on the market back during their times.

The Volvo you see at 2:08 is a Volvo 960 or maby a S90 if it's the last year in production. They changed the name 1997 to go with all the rest of the cars from Volvo when they starting to use S for the sedans a V for the estates.

[@hazeman4755]

Several of the cars that you didn't recognize I believe are Rovers, e.g. at 2:11, 2:40, 3:40 (the red car). Funny that you mentioned Honda, because in the 1980s and 1990s Rover and Honda did a lot of cooperation and some Rovers were basically rebadged Hondas. When I was a child in the 80s I loved the Ford Granada and I hoped my dad would buy one, but we were quite poor and could never afford even an old used one.

[@scottirvine121]

Remember most UK cars unless it has a private (vanity) plate tells you its age on the number plate. Except Northern Ireland. That sounds like a video idea…..

Matt, Furious Driving has an ex police Crown Victoria detective's car, after it arrived with him it failed its first MOT inspection due to excessive corrosion, more expanding foam, filler and underseal than steel. He had to make both inner and outer double skinned sills and other extensive body welding. The US dealer that sold it did a bodge job so it looked good but a possible death trap, the chassis also needed structural repairs, it just looked solid. Great videos of it being repaired to UK safe condition. Don't think I'll be buying from a US dealer, sight unseen anytime soon without a comprehensive condition report.

Greetings from France

[@emielverschuur8395]

the only reason that cars from the 80s and 90s are driving in Europe is that a periodic inspection has been introduced in Europe, which means that a car is inspected every year after +/- 5 years for safety and road worthiness and therefore maintenance cars that you don't get in America and if you are a fan of a certain brand you will deal with it better

A big thing ive mentioned before but in the uk we dont really do dealerships for used cars, there are some, but for the most part, young people buy their cars on gumtree, ebay or a site and magazine called Autotrader or straight up at an auction. My dad buys and sells cars all the time, fixes them up and makes a few hundred quid. This in general means older cars are very cheap, its not common to spend more than like £1000 max on a biginner car. Even today i drive a 2014 skoda octavia diesel that i bought for £700 and it just needed a little bit of work done to it. You can find a lot of cars for next to nothing. Its only my american friends that spend like 1k a month on a car, people in the uk generally dont do that as much. Also my car insurance is also only £500 per year and road tax is £30. So it really can be cheap to drive in the uk, even if diesel is like $7 a gallon.

[@RuiGTi]

it is a uk brand not a uk car because it was available in other europe coutries

The Ford you mention as similar to your first, might be the smaller model Orion. not shure. no, sorry, the Orion was like a sedan version of Escort I belive

The Geo Metro was a Suzuki Swift almost everywhere else. That British Metro was sold as both a Austin and a MG. The Volvo 340 and 360 were built in the Netherlands after Volvo took over the DAF car factory, DAF used to build cars as well, not just trucks, those DAFs were the first car with a CVT and they could go just as fast in reverse, there even was a Dutch TV show that did races with those: in reverse.

I just wondered, American cars never did well in Europe, except Ford. They always had a whole line of European Fords, which they manufactured and sold in Europe. General Motors in a way too, but they just bought Opel, so that's different than doing it yourself.

Big and costly on fuel are probably the two main reasons

The little Beige car in front of Alfa Romeo 146 at 6:49 is a VW Polo known as the bread van here in the uk both me and my mum owned one mums in red and mine minty green the headings on mine where useless would have been better off with a pair of candles after that polo I owned a ford fiesta same colour as the one with the go kart on top and I can safely say mine didn’t come with that option

That Citroen at 3:42 is a Xsara Break (wagon). I used to own one and it was fabulous, because it was ultra cheap to buy and maintain, and my was also a diesel, so very low consumption (6l/100km, 39 mpg). But it was dull silver. That in the video is in an awesome blue, which I wish I could own back then.
