I love this podcast and look forward to weekly releases - so I hope this comes across as constructive rather annoying. I’d happily take fortnightly releases if it helped the research aspect be better - rather than have to watch you google info/ not be sure of the cars or subjects being discussed - during the podcast itself. I feel the podcast would flow smoothly and allow you both to shine. Otherwise, love hearing from you both, and love the dynamic, and look forward to more episodes.
Is it me or does it feel like the podcast always misses out on breaking news, would have loved to hear Sam's thoughts on Jaguar's marketing campaign and them deleting all their old content EDIT: Some people don't understand what I meant, I just noticed a pattern in these news stories breaking on a Wednesday, but because the podcast is filmed earlier in the week Sam and Tony aren't able to talk about until the following week. I wasn't complaining, just noticing a pattern.
I did not even know Jaguar was developing a new Trans Mission. This company is really shifting gears. I bet it is a 48 speed so it has a gear for everyone.
This podcast was a difficult listen this week. I only made it halfway through. I would much rather you pause or spend more time researching/ preparing for the topics to help it flow better, even if it means less frequent releases.
Sorry, but not the greatest episode with Sam stuck looking at his laptop for most of the episode. Shame as I usually prefer this channel over the main channel.
As this video is pre recorded you wouldn’t have seen the new Jaguar rebranding ad. When you review it next week keep Tony on a tight leash or your video will be demonetised. Personally I think It is the biggest load of crap I have ever had the misfortune to witness. R.I.P. Jaguar.
Regarding Jaguar I totally agree with you. It makes me a bit sad, because we all love the brand (until now), I think you do too. I fear for their future, which also applies to Lotus. A lot of great British brands are going down the toilet. Again, very sad
The worst episode you’ve put out in years… totally unplanned and zero research. Complete drivel and embarrassing. First time I’ve ever switched off half way through.

Constantly changing opinions with you two is hardly making us switch off, we love the banter. But take more time to research topics before you broach them on the podcast. Listening to you google articles we could look up ourselves isn't great content, lads. If you're going to discuss the "Best Cars of 2024", maybe pick a few off of the list ahead of time and prepare some talking points to try and avoid the inevitable EV bashing and dead air.
guys can you make a ‘how to buy a car guide’. explaining options of finance how it works etc good negotiation tips, explaining CAP and valuing part exchanges, what mileage and age you guys would recommend etc
Q. for you Brenden - how old do cars have to be to prevent you bringing one in new-car-tax-free from NI? Q2. Can you still buy Boxsters over there? Thought production for Europe ended in June….
@@neilturner6749 Q - No idea, think cars have to be older than 30 years to be classed as vintage and therefor tax free import, all other cars imported as I understand has to pay VRT (Vehicle registration tax) Q2 - There are only 2024 new stock Boxsters left at the dealer. But only one or two, so probably not new orders.
To import a car to Ireland from mainland Britain you have to pay, 23% VAT, 11%customs and then an illegal Irish tax called VRT&NOX that is essentially up to the government. It is outrageous, for example, a plain m4 would roughly be 15-20k to import to Ireland from England. That is just on taxes. To avoid the vat and customs, you can import form NI, providing the car has been registered in NI prior to brexit. If the car was registered in NI post brexit, you pay the identical taxes as if the car came from England.
Love these videos ordinarily and have never been negative before not. But, if you’re lucky enough for this to be your job and you’re not having to do a full time normal job like the rest of us, at least do us the decency of putting some research in and producing a good video.
@ 22:00 -- highest costs to run a car: For new imports. Singapore for sure. Not only insane taxes and fees, also that certificate to operate the thing, plus the garage costs. Turkey and Norway are also insane, but that is all import duty, resp. some green rip-off.
The idea in Norway at least (just like in Finland) is to join the elites to abuse the government and tax revenue to funnel lots of money into your pockets, then you can afford to buy the car you want.
I can tell you a new V8 Mustang costs about 100.000 pounds (120.000 euro) in The Netherlands. So we are pretty high up there I'm sure (with exception of maybe Singapore and a few others). Another funny one is the new Toyota Land Cruiser which has 100.000 Euro in taxes on top of the price of the car! Same for "road" tax , a normal diesel car costs about 150 a month in tax. Some luxury cars can be hundreds a month in road tax alone.
The used EV thing is a genuine problem. I think a good test and I know it doesn’t really fit with your channel but I hope a TH-camr will buy a used Tesla from say 2015/16 and show what the battery life is like. How much will a new one cost. What are the other issues?
In turkey we have so much taxes on the cars with compliant citizens its amazing, even a 10 year old corsa is around 30 k euros. Imagine the premium or sports and supercars. All the people i know are fed up with this taxation but the government is still increasing taxes on everything.
As for car prices around the world - outside of the obvious (taxes, import) I would imagine they’re also priced based on average income. There’s quite a disparity between countries
2025 cars: McLaren Artura Spider, Lamborghini Urus SE, Porsche 911 Carrera T (ridiculously over optioned with PTS), Mercedes CLE53 Convertible, Mercedes E450 Saloon
The new Carrera GTS should be definitely be on this list with its new turbo hybrid technology. Btw it is bloody fast. I know, the digital dashboard and starting button…… was the Spyder RS, the last pure n/a hurrah on the last years list?
Tax in France is linked to engine power (fiscal horsepower), which is manageable, and CO2 emissions which is the big tax. GR Yaris has a 35k€ tax in 24, and most sports cars are at 60k€ (the maximum)
Taxes on cars in India are also absurd. Worth a mention. Doesn’t stop enthusiasts from owning them though. Would love to hear about your opinions on car prices in India and some of the famous collections as wel
I like Maclaren more than Ferrari. On the financial side Maclaren always has to be refinanced and always looses money. Ferrari makes loads of money! I do not see that dynamic changing anytime soon!
I cannot get my head around that 296 costing near £400k… I used to adore Ferrari, but I’ve lost that “want” for anything in their range! Harry Metcalfe had that stunning McLaren on a road trip recently & to me that looked incredible & everything a supercar should be… I don’t think I’d want a Ferrari over say an Aston Martin, Bentley, McLaren or Porsche & 15 year old me would be absolutely baffled
Hyndai have won car of the year for the last two years so it won't surprise me if they win again. Also please don't sleep on Byd guys. Do your research. They're bigger than what you think.
The price of 2nd hand cars in the UK is lower because the market is so small. No-one in Europe wants a RHD car and that situation has got even worse after Brexit because now there are import duties and VAT to pay when importing a car from the UK. LHD cars can be sold to anywhere in Europe and the world. Sales within the EU are even easier.
Ferraris depreciate a lot also based on what price point they hit the market, they would probably hold their value better if they weren’t so high now, because the competitor can be priced better
Irelands car market is insane atm, our market is dictated by what is essentially double the price of the uk market for example To import a car to Ireland from mainland Britain you have to pay, 23% VAT, 11%customs and then an illegal Irish tax called VRT&NOX that is essentially up to the government. It is outrageous, for example, a plain m4 would roughly be 15-20k to import to Ireland from England. That is just on taxes. To avoid the vat and customs, you can import form NI, providing the car has been registered in NI prior to brexit. If the car was registered in NI post brexit, you pay the identical taxes as if the car came from England.
Remember when people were complaining at McLaren for making too many different cars.. 😂 Where are y'all now that Ferrari have like 11 different models.
Re U one of the many dumb Brit without thinking?….. McLaren currently is in financially bad shape and approaching bankrupt otherwise they will make more model…..
@Brian.Jones.310 2 Roma variants, +2 12 Cilindri, +4 SF90 Stradale, +2 296 and you can bet 2 more 296 will be around the corner soon, then the Purosangue. That's before the F80, which would make it 12, models so you're right, I did miss a count. If you count pre launch future models it's gonna be at least 14, before speculation, after speculation 17.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks That's bit of a harsh calculation considering the spider variants as separate cars. And some of the cars have been discontinued like the Roma coupé and SF90 Stradale. Also, order books for the SF90 Spider is closed, so is that of the Roma Spider. Overall, I see like 7 cars - 2 supercars: 296, SF90. 2 V12 cars: Purosangue and 12Cilindri, 1 entry level car: Roma, 1 icona series car: Daytona Sp3 and 1 halo flagship car: F80. And the good thing about these cars is that they are different from one another. They aren't like using the same v8 and platform over and over again.
@Brian.Jones.310 They're still selling them last I checked and besides, the accusation levelled at McLaren was too many models and those were variants of just a few models just like for Ferrari. So now I am wondering where that energy is now for Ferrari.
I used to love this podcast and really look forward to it, but it really is going downhill. The lack of effort to do some basic research and come prepared with at least some basic factual content is painful. "TWO UNINFORMED INDIVIDUALS"...... it's a shame and little wonder the audience isn't growing as expected. Also for two enthusiasts it's becoming a bit jarring that they are only really interested in cars they can afford, i.e., up to 200k odd and nothing more, while most of their audience will have far lower budgets yet are still enthusiastic about all cars. Get off the laptop/phone Sam it's not great for viewers
I love it just noticed the photo of the McLaren in the background is Bell two the Lighthouse on the south downs seven sisters where Beachy head is my hometown of Eastbourne , watching this from Koh Lipe THAILAND
Car of the year Renault 5. Thats it.. the fridges / suv crossovers all belong in the bin. Love the 992 but the .2 isnt much different to say its new new.. the fact you are struggling to think of others show you what a state new cars are in
I’m from 🇨🇭 and here the retail prices of new cars are about min 14-23% more expensive than in EU,min 18-30 % more expensive than UK and min 35%+ more expensive than in USA.The annual taxes for a car like mine M440i 2023 is about 1800 paunds.Last year i had GLE 63 and when i sow that from 01.2024 the annual taxes became 3000 paunds i sold my favorite car ever because it’s becoming not only crazy but also i find it discriminative and offensive
Artura = £140K, sure, but how much more for the second car while it's being shuffled from repair to repair and dealing with their horrible customer service, plus all the repairs?
I think only our second hand cars are cheap as the cost of running as in petrol and tax and servicing is so high. I got an uber in Portugal. 4 up and for 15 minutes. 2 euro 90.

Disappointed… feel like these episodes are becoming more and more of a challenge to get through - starting to feel half arsed
Agree with that.
I love this podcast but this episode is one to forget
This was so painful to watch, sam monging it on his laptop with on the fly research and Tony trying to create a conversation with himself
Is it me or does it feel like the podcast always misses out on breaking news, would have loved to hear Sam's thoughts on Jaguar's marketing campaign and them deleting all their old content
EDIT: Some people don't understand what I meant, I just noticed a pattern in these news stories breaking on a Wednesday, but because the podcast is filmed earlier in the week Sam and Tony aren't able to talk about until the following week. I wasn't complaining, just noticing a pattern.
Jaguar just deleted themselves.
I guess they prepared that marketing before they realized Trump and the Republicans crushed the left. But ok
Jaguar stuck it into the wrong hole.
I did not even know Jaguar was developing a new Trans Mission. This company is really shifting gears. I bet it is a 48 speed so it has a gear for everyone.
The Ad doesn't even show a car, absolute garbage. I doubt they'll talk about it, probably don't wanna upset anyone
This episode was painful. Sam spent most of it on his laptop. 😂
Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance!
Terrible. Time to get a producer if you’re too time poor to properly prepare, @sam
Watching a bloke on his laptop…
Did anyone else notice Sam was one of the models in the Jag advert?
Whaaaaat? No. I’m rewatching it
You are mistaken it was Tony
Tough watch tonight boys!
Sam… “I think each week we try our hardest to lose our audience!” 🤣🤣🤣
Finally he understood 😂
Thank god for Tony keeping conversation going, sam was flapping and just had his head in his laptop the whole time.
That was a tough one to sit through. Glad its done 🤣🤣
This podcast was a difficult listen this week. I only made it halfway through. I would much rather you pause or spend more time researching/ preparing for the topics to help it flow better, even if it means less frequent releases.

What's actually wrong with it? It's hard to make a car advert when you don't make cars anymore...
Regarding Jaguar I totally agree with you. It makes me a bit sad, because we all love the brand (until now), I think you do too. I fear for their future, which also applies to Lotus. A lot of great British brands are going down the toilet. Again, very sad
Sam please spend an hour before the podcast doing your research, rather than spending the episode on your laptop.
News flash. BYD IS a Chinese company.

Yea . Well see what happens at Miami.
I know the weekend is almost here when I see this upload! Always gets my Thursday morning started!
Look at Ireland as well for high new priced cars. Standard 2024 Boxster S listed at €135k

Oh Lord, Tony´s gonna have a field day with Jaguar on the next podcast 🤣

India is very high. Luxury cars, which are direct imports are 150%+vat+road tax
Surprised the Netherlands did not come up in your list.
For example the new Ford Bronco starts at €64.301 pre-tax. After tax it is €153.100 here 😂
Sam is still doing the research ....

I wouldn't say they depreciate. They are simply overpriced to start with.
"Worst segment ever" speak for yourself I loved it. Watching Sam squirm is always great fun.
Best podcast show in TH-cam for sure.
The used EV thing is a genuine problem. I think a good test and I know it doesn’t really fit with your channel but I hope a TH-camr will buy a used Tesla from say 2015/16 and show what the battery life is like. How much will a new one cost. What are the other issues?
Gone off this now. Feedback already posted by others
One of the last humble and honest podcasts about the cars.
This podcast is going downhill fast. It’s all over the place. More research in advance required, rather than making it up as you go along.
In turkey we have so much taxes on the cars with compliant citizens its amazing, even a 10 year old corsa is around 30 k euros. Imagine the premium or sports and supercars. All the people i know are fed up with this taxation but the government is still increasing taxes on everything.
with respect guys, this was probably the worst content you have put out. Why not just miss a week if you have nothing?
As for car prices around the world - outside of the obvious (taxes, import) I would imagine they’re also priced based on average income. There’s quite a disparity between countries
Second hand cars in Spain are also ridiculously expensive.. it’s crazy
Talk about ending the year on a bad note, worst episode in a long time, please start a new season 😂

Hello Sam
Turkey is the most expensive because of the GDP per capita. Its around 15k usd compared to Singapore which is around 85k usd :)
You need to do some research and thinking before you start recording.

Check Thailand's import tax on cars, if you fancy a Porsche or anything European, it's 300%, not 200% from what Google says
The Alfa Romeo Junior also comes as a hybrid. They should handle well.
You should do a Cupra Formentor VZ5 drive! It has the 5 cilinder RS3 engine in it! Definitely the best version. 🤤
Literally all the new Astons, they even doing a new V12 for gods sake 🤣
Went to origin coffee or Shoreditch after living there for over 10 years didn’t know it existed…thanks!
Sam, have you got any plans to drive the Audi Q6/SQ6 having just been in the Macan EV?
I think the F1 success has really lifted the Maclaren brand to a higher place.
Just because other countries rip their citizens off more than us on car costs doesn’t mean we’re getting away with it Sam 🤦♂️
Ye actually are though

Car of the year Renault 5. Thats it.. the fridges / suv crossovers all belong in the bin. Love the 992 but the .2 isnt much different to say its new new.. the fact you are struggling to think of others show you what a state new cars are in
I lived in Bangladesh for 15 years. They have 400% import tax on luxury cars.
38:12 you need to look at the Leaf and Zoe for 10-15 year old EV "bin" values.
I’m from 🇨🇭 and here the retail prices of new cars are about min 14-23% more expensive than in EU,min 18-30 % more expensive than UK and min 35%+ more expensive than in USA.The annual taxes for a car like mine M440i 2023 is about 1800 paunds.Last year i had GLE 63 and when i sow that from 01.2024 the annual taxes became 3000 paunds i sold my favorite car ever because it’s becoming not only crazy but also i find it discriminative and offensive
Artura = £140K, sure, but how much more for the second car while it's being shuffled from repair to repair and dealing with their horrible customer service, plus all the repairs?
Pre 23 for me I’d never by any new car second hand all day long
Belgium here - car fan, and it’s bloody awful. In the south, even if you buy a second hand car you still pay high first year tax rates
hopefully aston martin actually comes out with Valhalla in 2025
I think only our second hand cars are cheap as the cost of running as in petrol and tax and servicing is so high. I got an uber in Portugal. 4 up and for 15 minutes. 2 euro 90.
Sam title doesnt match the thumbnail lol
