Ralph Körner Yeah! I personally did notice that Top Gear seemed to constantly use Mph instead of Kmh. But until very recently I did not think they actually use Mph in the UK, I just thought they used Mph for the US audience for some weird reason, and yes I did not give it much thought beyond that! Now you have to imagine for a foreigner that has never visited either of the countries this can be a bit confusing! Also I have recently heard that the Mph in the UK are not the same as in the US which If true just adds to the weirdness of it all!
"Maybe it's because the other two I drove were smaller that it didn't bother me that they were right hand drive. theres just a lot of car over there" "it may also have to do with your perception, like you're not used to having stuff on your left" *yeah*
There's a white Stagea somewhere in Victoria, British Columbia. I moved there a few months ago and have spotted it twice in traffic. Any other Victoria locals seen this car?
My 1997 Nissan Stagea was a 2.5L non turbo 4wd. It felt heavy alright. I loved the traction. Where the snow and power button is, I had another button for the diff which I could switch on and off. But couldn't travel at high speed if it was on
The term for that lockout mechanism is brake-shift interlock. They have been required in the US since 2010, though most, but not all, vehicles built before then have them.
the shift interlock stopped working when the brake switch went bad in my 95 infiniti g20 one time. i used the identical switch located 45 degrees around the steering column that operated the brake cutout for the cruise control. everything worked fine except the cruise wouldnt disengage when i hit the brake. got me out of the parking lot though (the shifter was stuck in park w/ the interlock broken)
Wow, there are exactly 2 Nissan Stagea WC34 being offered on the German market at the moment. One for 9,000€ and one for 10,000€. This car is really rare!!
You couldn’t use it in Germany anyway.. With the rhd you’re not even able to overtake a tractor on a country road, because you’d have to pull out so far to the left, that you would crash end die every time someone is coming from the front. So why have a powerful wagon when it’s useless on the road? Just get a Audi with the V6 and you have a more reliable, cheaper and better performing car! Or opt for BMW xDrive or Mercedes Fourmatic if you want awd, but not an Audi.
@@rolux4853 Actually, I know a bit about S6 Audis, and they are many things, but most certainly not cheaper. Whether German cars are more reliable than Japanese cars is also highly debatable. When I think how much money I sunk into mine (from the VAG group) to get it up to par, and things keep breaking that shouldn't break, I really doubt that. German cars have the reputation of being totally overengineered, and what Japanese spare parts cost more in import fees and taxes, German spare parts totally make up for with their complexity and therefore resulting higher prices again. At least that's my experience with cars from the last 10-15 years. I really wouldn't want to own such a more modern car, because of repairability and repair cost...
There's no story behind why the UK uses miles, just that the country "officially" adapted the metric system like 40 years ago but never finished the job. So we're "bi-lingual" lol
This is remarkably like a 90's subaru forester. He did the MT, but the clicking thing @5:40 happens in my AT one as well. The window controls and funky patterns are pretty similar too.
There are many things here in the UK that still use the imperial system. For example, beer and milk are measured in pints and people use feet and inches to measure how tall they are.
Too bad you didn't review a Renault Clio/Megane V-6. Kudos on reviewing the Peugeot. No current Citreon or Vauxhall reviewed by you...yet. Someday I will send you an Email to review/destroy my 2014 Kia Soul plus loaded. Be kind, rewind
Nissan Stagea RS4 Stagea
Okay we get it, it's a Stagea
The only reason I know of this cars existence is from Gran Turismo.
Same!
mighty car mods
Cant believe you drove 2 cars without noticing they were in miles per hour.
It's pretty incredible someone as smart as him didn't know
ThomasRocksU smartness isn't related to miscellaneous knowledge ^^
falagarius this must have been the first taping
I thought so too, but he talks about having driven 2 smaller cars on this airfield.
Yeah. They must've been Japanese imports too. Like that white Mira you can see in the first few minutes.
surprised Mr. R didn't know the UK used miles instead of km.
me too
Augustas it's like he never watched Top Gear :(
Ralph Körner had the same thought.

Miles per hour are exactly the same in both countries and in fact all countries!
Come on Mr. Regular they're called IMPERIAL measuring units for a reason lol.
Seen the V8 swapped Stagea on MCM?
They call them long-roofs over here.
I'm a wagon driver, 4l Falcon NA Barra. Its 250hp.
1600 squid for that wagon?? That's a damn steal m8, well done.
It's a Skyline wagon!

Oh no an automatic!! No wonder Mr regs didn't care for it, somebody should find him a nice Autech import, a car worthy of the title GTR Wagon.
Or just swap a manual box into it has the same 4wd system as a r34 gtr
R33 box sorry not r34

Oh I remember the first gen Genesis sedan made the clicking noise when you got on the brake
Its actually based off the laurel. shame people forget of its existence.
yup, had a mind blank!
RCR - Can you all please do a Honda CR-Z at some point....the most mediocre regular hybrid car ever made. I'd love it! Thanks.
My 1997 Nissan Stagea was a 2.5L non turbo 4wd. It felt heavy alright. I loved the traction. Where the snow and power button is, I had another button for the diff which I could switch on and off. But couldn't travel at high speed if it was on
I'd love to see a video of people hooning in Pennsylvania because of the State of Emergency!
I drive a pulsar and it has that feature too. The immobilisation if you don't turn it on soon after unlocking.
well shit in my mouth. this is good shit man
12:51 The C34 is not a Cedric, it is a Laurel.
yup, had a mind blank!
Is this Matt Farah's millions mile Lexus?
This car didn't excite me, so it is indeed an old regular car.
under 200 views club!
that look in the rearview mirror at 3:47 is such a the office moment
I guess that lockout mechanism sound is common in 90s Nissan. A 96 Maxima makes that same sound.
it makes that sound in a 2000 Honda CRV, so its not that uncommon.
I had A 94 Maxima that would not sift into drive and I knew it was the lockout mechanism because that click never sounded
The term for that lockout mechanism is brake-shift interlock. They have been required in the US since 2010, though most, but not all, vehicles built before then have them.

Seegal Galguntijak yes, because it's an import only

Please tell me you'll be reviewing that Fiesta Mk2 in the background... Pretty please?
musthap CONFIRMED
LOL@"There is the Turbo"! Turbo lagggggggggggggggg. Very common with the old factory turbo model cars.
Americans always get the shaft when it comes to cars. Regulations make our cars really bland.
Oh no an automatic!! No wonder Mr regs didn't care for it, somebody should find him a nice Autech import, a car worthy of the title GTR Wagon.
If you’re from New Zealand or Australia you’ll know they’re not “ gentle mans cars “. People use these as daily skid bashers
Review a late nineties deville.
Nissan parking lot review... I fell asleep after 6 minutes, does he actually drive it?
9:00 Did a British use "spunky "in the way us 'MURICANS use it? Odd...
1600quid for an awd rb25 wagon? ffs that's cheap - even with an auto
There's no story behind why the UK uses miles, just that the country "officially" adapted the metric system like 40 years ago but never finished the job. So we're "bi-lingual" lol
The interior of the Stagea looks like a Laurel
Do wagons still exist?
Greedy 've and Volvo still make them
I meant vw
VW, volvo, bmw, mercedes, audi, opel, renault, skoda, seat and peugeot all make wagons
yeah you just saw one
Greedy depends on where you live. In America they are all but dead.

The front suspension of my Skyline also made that horrible annoying sound too
Fingers Magee I didn't bother checking sorry. As I didn't affect the handling at all
This is remarkably like a 90's subaru forester. He did the MT, but the clicking thing @5:40 happens in my AT one as well. The window controls and funky patterns are pretty similar too.
All that epicness for 1650? ;O Lucky dude! Thats what Stagea parts cars go for where i live.. (If they ever appear)
My '94 Sentra makes the same click sound with the shifter, messed with me the first time I noticed it too.
that pause to look at the camera in the mirror
Is that a red ford laser?
There are many things here in the UK that still use the imperial system. For example, beer and milk are measured in pints and people use feet and inches to measure how tall they are.
to all Japanese autos shift that hard?
can you review a 86-87 monte carlo ss/ls or a cutlass supreme ?
yes i'm aware that it's a nissan stagea
NOT AN R34
Change the brake fluid, that will be a good thing to do.
finally, after 20 years, i know how the hell to pronounce "stagea"
eww auto transmission
Exactly! No wonder Mr regs didn't care for it, somebody should find him a nice Autech import, a car worthy of the title GTR Wagon.
the autech has an rb26 and a gtr drivetrain
The Autech is the 'real' Double Unicorn. Rare, unavailable, largely beaten or modded to death, and utterly magical...
i wonder how you can stand without AC in 4 minutes... lol
You know what I would love to see? Regular Gun Reviews.
90s Nissan interior i know to well as i have a Hardbody

oh
double unicorn
mmmm wagons
I'm dying on the inside for the third time now.
IT DOES NOT SNOW MUCH IN BRITAN
A touch of Frost?
Love the reaction of realizing that UK uses miles per hour

this looks like it belongs to a mom who had a cocaine habit in 1969
how
2.5 turbo 240 hp! I want to take the engine out of that shitty body and swap into something cool.
Royal Zak the body is lit, and it's just a rb, really easy to find in other cars.
Royal Zak you can swap a skyline front clip on. makes it look wayyyy better
