Ironically though the closing statement about being safer in a crash in a 4x4 or SUV was partially disproven thereafter (partially by TopGear), with vehicles like the Land Rover Freelander and Hummer H2 performing appallingly. The poor center of gravity also made rollover more likely, and worse. If one truly wanted crash safety in this era, and knew what they were talking about... they bought a Volvo.

Not familiar with that one, as I gave up on 5th Gear years before even Top Gear committed ratings suicide in the 2010's. (the newer presenters got more and more nausiating) I do recall 5th Gear rolling a classic Range Rover to show the need for a roll cage, but the example given was extremely unlikely in a typical UK road situation. (they had to do a very hard lock to lock steering change at speed to get the RR to flip; suggesting she was comparatively stable for a 4x4) Top Gear crashed a Locomotive into a Renault Espace once though (the car imploded like wet bogroll), to show how dangerous level crossings are; so I shudder to think of how a car that lost to an Espace on crash safety would fare.

Can we just for a moment pause and remember what great 4x4s we had available in those days. When they weren't lifestyle crossovers or some shit. They didn't come with 22" alloys and sporty tyres. They had 16" wheels (often steel) with 75 ratio sidewalls. Live axles and diff locks. The fuel efficiency was poor but at least you had a vehicle that did what it said on the tin.

4:00 onwards is exactly why we've got pointless "crossovers" now, which can't go off-road and are only now getting decent fuel mileage: "I want to be up high and look down on everyone else" We have this attitude to thank for heavier cars, more CO2 into the atmosphere, and the death of affordable sports cars.

I'd like to say that then you should just ride me but that would get me in trouble.

For a brief period I was afflicted with two Land Rovers. At first I really liked them, but then one day I became weary of the inefficiencies and lack of driving dynamics (although Land Rovers are better at this than most SUVs), and I traded the newer LR in for a VW Passat and sold the older LR. I am so much happier having a large comfortable car again, and it gets over twice the mpg’s while being faster, quieter, and better-handling.

I sort of accidentally went the other way, moving away from my sporty hatch Seat Leon Cupra to a BMW 3 series wagon and now an X5. I was surprised by how sporty a car like the X5 can be. It is noticeably heavier but the suspension is rather well in tune and it can take turns surprisingly quickly. I will be going back to a normal car for the fuel (and tire) economy, but I've been enjoying the ground clearance and awd in the finnish winter. That's about the only thing that makes this car "off-road worthy" but thats also the only thing I'd use an off-road car for. Deep snow and very bumpy roads, I don't have to worry as much.

I have a vehicle that has a 6 cylinder engine, 24 valve engine with only a slightly smaller displacement than Jeremy's, yet gets nearly the same mileage to the gallon as a 1990s- early millennial compact. It has more room inside than Jeremy's car, is easy to park, big enough to feel safe in, has a much lower c of g and has terrific braking power. It lacks 4X4, but because I hit gravel all of 3 times a year, I don't need it, as most people don't. Honda Odyssey. Buy one, bitches.

Pretty accurate. Have had an 04 land rover discovery for 7 years the previous being a 97 disco. Worst tracked gas mileage was 8.7 mpg on the 04 in the winter. Also no stopping power stopping a 4.7 ton brick. But none of that matters when your land rover is constantly at the shop. You drive it less that way and spend less money on gas so those are back thoughts while you look down upon the peasants in sedans.
