      Well he did trash talk the Serena too. The Espace was completely shamed by the Vauxhall Zafira a year or so later anyway.

    Interesting the Renault has 3 valves per cylinder to fit in the indirect injection! Made until 2002, I wonder if it was the last ID diesel in Europe?

    The song at the beginning (after the intro) is "Parisienne Walkways" by Gary Moore.

      @tomoluis_01 6 лет назад +2

      From the EuroNCAP’s actual website, the Chrysler Voyager (when sold in America as the Plymouth Voyager, Dodge Caravan, and Chrysler Town and Country), it received a two-star rating overall.

    Calling the Espace unsafe when it was first with a 5 star EURO NCAP whilst recommending the Voyager with no diesel options and so unsafe it was pulled from sale. This is why I don't listen to Clarkson for serious advice

    Meanwhile I see still all those Renault Espaces running well after 20+ years while Voyagers? LOL! Either they did not sell at all or they were not made that tough. Renault Espace was also the one and only monospace that was cool looking and you were not ashamed of driving. Clarkson does not like most of French cars and so does reject this Renault here too but this had been an excellent car.

    • @shroomyesc
      @shroomyesc 7 лет назад +2

      It's exactly the opposite here in Finland. Plenty voyagers from the 80's models to the 00's models but no espaces.

    • @panosa2502
      @panosa2502 6 лет назад +1

      Visit Paris. Plenty of old Espaces roaming around. And these Espaces spent most of their life in Paris, not coasting around leisurly the Finnish lakes. Of course you may claim that is down to numbers (more sold in France) but then why that wouldn't be the case for Finland or Britain? You have also to note the differences among drivers that drive each type of vehicle, afterall it is all going down to statistics. I have worked in quality in the past, even if for a brief period, and I am aware how complex is the exact measurement of quality. If - say for example - Renault attracts, for whatever reason, the type of driver who has no personal garage, who is wreckless with the car, who is skipping maintenance by 10 or 15,000 kilometers, who never checks oil and water and who when remembering to maintain goes to the cheapest thieving-prone garage, then no wonder one won't be finding many of them 15-20 years later.

    • @panosa2502
      @panosa2502 6 лет назад

      +Daisy Harris My point is that your experience with your Voyager is quite commonly shared by Espace drivers in the most congested city in Europe, Paris.

    I wouldn’t be found dead in a Chrysler. I probably would if I crashed in one but I would never have gotten in one to begin with. They’re god awful at quality.
