Will cars be ruined in the future? Will you still buy a new car after speed limiters are introduced in 2022? Let us know!
Your comment should have more likes and replys
I’m going to get an old BMW then of new ones are boring
Yes i will, however I’ll also keep my 40 year old car which is absolutely sweet
No! I will buy a nissan r32 or a miata
Cars are now quieter so people will be able to get use to electric cars which is an issue.
This just means that used cars are even more justifiable to buy
Until they increase taxes/insurance for the older cars. They are doing it with diesels..
Yah mate, I'd rather by a 2012 C63s than a 2030 C63s with so many limiters
@@here2serv 😒hope for the best
Yesss
@@here2serv even worse; they can simply forbid older cars to be driven on streets. Euro standards are good example of that...
Next rules: engine must produce oxygen by using the process of photosynthesis.
That could be a future once we copy the nature 100% 😁
yay! offroading is now good for grass! (not really)
I understand many are bummed about these less-fun regulations, but the planet is absolutely struggling, and this really should have been done decades ago. This is the hottest summer ever recorded where I live!
You’re commenting this like it’s a bad thing, cars producing oxygen is amazing!
By buiying a car and sponsor an acre of forest being planted...problem solved
This makes me wish to go back to the 80’s or 90’s when cars were simpler and more fun, or even the 2000’s when everyone was cramming crazy engines in normal cars, for example, the V10 M5 from the time, Renault Clio V6, VW Touareg V10...etc.
@A real bisexual petrol-head Yes, it would be way better. At least I’d get to enjoy all that time.
They were also still purely mechanical, cable throttle, good feeling shifters, good feeling steering. Only electronic thing was fuel injection/ignition and abs. Traction control either was only an option or was possiblento disable entirely.
That Audi example sent me straight to depression

Thank God for motorcycles
Haha wow! Don't let Mat hear you say that.
What they need to do is put a "silencer" on those stupid mo-peds that people drive around with an L plate on them!!! Leave the cars alone!
Yes no yes. Bikers don't get noticed on roads so their loud noise serves as detection
Yes please, I hate them here in Switzerland. Last summer there was a shitty heatwave exactly one year ago and I had to sleep with my windows wide open. My brain could filter all the morning cars noise but couldn't filter the moped noise of the same guy going to work at 5:45 AM
But how else would you hear a moped next to your car? Bikes and mopeds/motorcycles are hard to see for drivers in cars.
I agree. They make more noise than a car. Just a nuisance. Put on your headlights and we will see you better. Not all do. We have DLR, you have headlights.
Yeah all those chavs on the council estate r crying rn

its the only way we can feel that one beautiful feeling on our cars
Here's a tip for you. Buy a mid 2000s sport car. 55 AMG M156 6.2 335i 4.2 AUDI ETC
Imagine in 15-20 years when there are very few manual cars left new. Petrol heads will be left driving Clio’s & Celerio’s just to feel the thrills!!
Clio RS's have been auto only for a while now, I had the last manual the RS200. I'll never touch another one, on the plus side they have much better interiors now... mine was like a Turkish prison!
@@Tribulation88 i think he meant cheapest budget clios.
BMW M2 CS 2020. Probably one of the best manual cars on sale now
Or my 2012 BMW 1M.
Labas Labas yes
I guess I'll just jailbreak my car to add another 100km/h to the top speed

Can't they just accept the fact that there are people who drive only for transportation and there are people who drive to live amd enjoy ?
Shh don't tell them that their feelings will be hurt 😂
I think 'they' are aware of that but the percentages are not in our favour. The huge, and I mean HUGE, majority of people driving to work/school/shops etc don't really care about cars. Car lovers are a tiny minority so we will be snuffed out.
Yeah, just make sports cars more expensive as a fine for drivers and don't find the manufacturers
@@SpottedCreeper That's exactly why the new regulations of soft limiters, etc. for sports cars (or other fun vehicles) are entirely meaningless - quite literally a drop of cold water on a burning mountain. Most people do not commute 100 miles a day to work and back with a 911, Huracan, Viper, Aventador, etc. ... They do it in a Golf, 3-Series, A3, and the likes; therefore, these "reasonable" models only should be affected by these emission regulations.
Žiga Letonja True, but it’s kinda hard for regulators to differentiate between a 911 and a Corolla. What would be the definition of an “enthusiast” car? If that were defined, car companies would try to take advantage and try to badge all their cars as “enthusiast” cars to skirt the laws. And you’d find some triggered car enthusiasts when they find out the government approves a Huracan as an “enthusiast” car but not an Fiesta ST

2040: now you walk, but don’t you dare run!!
Matt, you've missed something important. The more you remove alertness of the driver from driving the car the less able that driver is of controlling the car. I know its nice for the passengers to relax as the car whistles down the road but that is not good for the driver and the safety of the passengers. A driver needs to be engaged with handling the car and yet in modern cars he/she is cosseted as if they were a passenger. Touch screens are particularly a danger as they require the driver to look at the display. I think all controls should be tactile so that the driver can operate them and keep their eyes on the road. I have been shocked by large SUVs bowling past on rain-soaked motorways when there is standing water and yet later I go past them on dry open roads since they are travelling at much the same speed they were in hazardous conditions. One of my pet hates is the person who drives at 40 in a 30 limit and then continues to drive at 40 in a 60 limit - but that is another story. Motoring as a pastime where one strives to make brisk progress safely considering all the hazards is dead, now it is "just blunder" through and hope the car saves your life when the inevitable problem arrives.
i'm glad that i got to know engines like the v12, v10, v8 a shame for the next generation
I'm going to buy R8 performance couse its probably last NA V10 in this car. And I will never sell it.
i completely agree bro, lets hope that classic cars don't get banned lmao
So true. Many have just experienced 4 cylinders and 3 cylinders now and those engines don't make great noises and are nowhere near as refined as a 6, 8 or 12 cylinder so they'll never know what it was like to hear a creamy smooth V6 or I6 or a low burbling strong sounding V8 or V12. 😟
@@TheEryk03 thats a smart choice! Good for you. Naturally aspirated V10 are the best especially the high reving like 5.2 FSI. ❤️

Or even a performance one nowadays of they all go at the same speed
And you know it's just step one. Pretty soon they'll be telling your car where you can and can't drive. "Due to an air quality advisory, your selected route has been denied." Or "You've exceeded your maximum allowed daily CO2 emissions. Upon parking, your vehicle will be unable to start until the next day. You can avoid shutdown by purchasing CO2 Credits from the Greta Thunberg EU Climate Action Initiative".

I hate that law that makes BMW's grill enormous and makes the car hideous. Oh wait that ain't a law.
BMW just published a grill that even comes with a car!!!
That had me creasing up
I find it very funny how everyone is butthurt over new BMW grills while Audi and Merc have been doing monster grills for a couple of years now.
Tbh everyone really loves to exaggerate the size of Bmws grills when Audi’s in comparison have much larger grills in size. Bare in mind; Bmw make the grills so big to appeal to the chinese market. If it wasn’t for chinese people for having extremely weird tastes, we wouldn’t have such big grills.
Cockshield that makes no sense. So what you basically said was: it’s okay for one car manufacturer to have massive big grills, but not for the other. Just seems likely hypocrisy and condescending. Let’s be honest; it’s just a way to criticise Bmw because you have nothing else to say against the brand..

@Neel Javia What they are currently doing is not the solution either. Eventually, petrol and diesel will be eliminated. But they are destroying the entire world economy by trying to rush this process. The current goal should be full hybridization by 2050. And If by then they have an answer to the global electricity crisis (which is nuclear, but that's too scary a word), then they can look towards full electrification by 2080-2100

For God sake!! Compliments Matt, the first Car-Journalist-Reviewer who says the true about how the EU-Politicians are destroying the car industry!!!
In Germany the Car Lobbis are blocking a speed limit on the Autobahn, blocking much stricter emmision laws and on top of that the car industry is getting a billion euros of money support every crises like for example in the corona time or in an economical break down of just 2%. Dont get me wrong...im glad that they dont put speed limits on the Autobahn but the car lobby in Germany has much more political influence than the gun lobby in the USA. On top of that the european car producers are getting bigger and richer and they are getting bigger on the stock exchange too. So the car industry isnt even beeing destroyed but getting bigger. A worth of mention is that for every stricter law in regard to cars which arent easy to stick to, the car producers are getting extra money for it. So in conclusion they arent even spending their own money to stay sticking to the regulations.
Yes, so let's destroy the enviourment instead
2000: V8 2010: V8 some V6 2020: Few V8 more V6 and AMG A45 with I4 2030: Every sportscar has I4 or 3 cylinder with hybrid like the I8 I don't want this!

Imagine trying to overtake a lorry that's going so slow that you naturally decide to overtake. Only thing is you can't overtake fast and safely because of the speed limiter. Meaning it takes longer to overtake and is generally less safe to do so. Same thing if you drive in town and have cars park on the side, the new systems try to stop and brake or pull you back in because you're technically in the middle of the road and it worries it will hit a car that is parked. If this is the case, aftermarket removal of all this bs will be abused, until they will remove the insurance if you don't have all the systems in check

Speed limiters are very dangerous, especially when required to overtake a truck quickly without the risk of having a head-on collision.
@F a If you are driving on a motorway trucks usually have a speed limit below regular cars so sometimes you have to blow past them. And if there is a speed limit on the car it will be dangerous if its a 2+1 road.

The government is going to have to invest an awful lot of money in installing more speed limits signs around the place if these "intelligent speed limiters" are going to work. I have speed limit sign recognition in my Mk 4 Focus and so often it thinks I'm still in a 30 when I've entered a 60 zone. Worse, when leaving my local Morrison's car park it sees the 5mph sign for the car park, but there is no corresponding 30mph sign on the main road so if this limiter was enforced I would be restricted to running at 5mph on a 30mph road. Yeah, that's going to be safe...
I plan on keeping my noisy, crackling 2019 i30N for a long, long time...
Looking forward to Doug's fun factor scores
Well this is very depressing😭😭😭😭
good job you can get the soft limiter removed when you get a remap 😉
Enjoyed the vido mat, just the soft limit news other things but it is good to know of the future.
This made me even more sad knowing that when i get my license, there are no more fun cars left...
Same to me😭
Yup. Das why I'm only gonna buy used cars.
David Lamp yes that’s the key to freedom
go to a 3rd world country since they don't care about regulations that much, and car companies sell their low standard emission cars there ;)
Same😔😔😔😔😔😔
Don't get me wrong: I try to avoid plastic were ever I can and do care about the environment in general BUT These new regulations are destroing close to all emotions that originally found their home in all of the (individual!) cars we love since decades. It's sad to see real cars disappear into history and find their place in the shaddow of pure neutrality and coldness. There is not a single glimpse of love or passion found in those upcoming cars.
Better buy the last fun cars now while you still can, or just move to America
@@jordanrosenberg9816 unfortunately everyone in Europe hates American cars, I love them because I did my research on how much value they offer, their track capability and raw driving experience sound etc, but sadly haters will be haters. They will never respect them properly over here and will continue to buy euro techfests which are just plain boring and restrictive.
@@user-hc5si5tw5p It's too bad
@F a so where do we stop, driverless supercars? That's where we're heading close enough already
@F a safety is good but fact is less human control means better performance and safety and unfortunately less human control also means dull boring experience, so fun and raw wild experience = old, laptimes and safety and restrictions= new. I prefer mechanically natured cars with minimal electronics where all control is in the drivers hands because these are the most fun and thrilling. Just look at the prices of said cars as opposed to modern ones, a 10 year old 997 gt3rs is worth double what the brand new one is because of this and a 250 gto is worth about 50 million. And then look at what journalists and and veterans drive, nearly all older cars and they hate modern ones. The only thing you can respect from modern cars is performance not their challenging of the driver or how they bite back, even their performance has been severely limited by emissions and safety laws not allowing development properly over the past 20 years. Imagine how incredibly fast a modern v12 f1 car would be if no restrictions placed on it. Electric will be faster in future of course be needs much much more development before that happens. Anyway Yh if u want to be safe don't get a sports car get a prius and have a track car I guess if that's what u want I appreciate there's a lot more to life than fun cars.
Think I'll soon have more fun on my push bike than in a new car.
Careful, it might make you breathe more heavily, thus unnecessarilyturning more of our precious oxygen into CO2! Soon you'll only be able to use it to make essential journeys.
Hope that petrol heads like us will still be able to drive an petrol car even if there are only electric cars on the market
I miss the old cars so much and this new trend... Everyone who has an old car please take care of it don't let them die
i can promise you that all my old cars are staying safe
My old cars will stay in good hands
@@djguy891 thanks, i belive in you
@@terrificspokesman7416 thanks!
@@warrior8154 No worries
It’s preparing everyone for electric cars by killing the sound, manual transmissions, and top speed limiters.
That’s more retarded than phasing out diesels
I was thinking the same thing
F a but we don’t want smoother cars and auto transmission we want cars back the way they were in the late 90s fun fast and enjoyable not a robotic overprotective nanny come fit as standard on a super car like a Porsche or an Amg gt
F a also who would want a slow car I mean you got all the safety equipment anyway
F a that’s bullsht
I still use a GTI clubsport daily and not planing to change it anytime soon :))
I’ve had my fiesta st 2 months and i’ve delepted my GOF and put a milltek exhaust and gpf replacement on it. Best thing i have ever done to a car
This video made me sad :’(
Same!!
That meens old fun cars with big engines should be more sought after. I will keep my Citroen CX Turbo II forever :)
CX 25 Pallas ie
Not often someone mentions a CX Turbo 2 - respect!
Yep waiting for the day my cl55 to be worth 80k+
Bmw e34 540i 6speed Manual with every extra available Here... in couple of years i Trade it in for a house... or two 😂😉
Citroën and forever in one sentence?
Watching this at 3am while crying because I realized I can’t experience proper car😫😖😭
Thats not true.
I think now we will need to straight pipe and a remap on all the cars
You can for sure remove the speed limiters, just like withe some higher performance cars being limited at 250kmh.
giving your insurance provider one more reason not to cover damage costs..as if there weren't enough as it is.
@@siviwelechelele2253 not if you declare the modification.
@@siviwelechelele2253 I'm telling ya bloody communist like restrictions we got used market to save us anyway like old 350zs and corvettes and vipers with little to no restrictions and great capability
@Honey BBQ Sauce take out satnav
@@aksone5243 Could be illegal, but I do not see germany implementing speed limits anytime, hope this comment lives on well
This makes me sadder than it should
I have a love hate relationship with e handbrakes. Its super handy on a hill but im always in a fight with the damn thing to get it engaged.
can you tune most of the electric assists like the soft limiter and the speed limiter or is it a part that needs to be removed. im not a mechanic so idk
Its the 80’s all over again when the balls of muscle cars were cut off.
That started in the 70’s with the fuel crisis. The 80’s helped it along with unleaded. All that did was make desirable cars slower and most burnt just as much fuel. Plus the fact that they were so undesirable that they helped kill the american auto industry.
70s
The 70s lopped the balls off, the 80s was when they started figuring out how to put them back.
"What has the world come to?" ~The guy from Carwow
In a nutshell: as of 2021, the price of used performance cars are going to be insane. You're laughing if you currently own a Ford Focus RS
0:23 Fun fact: although it might not sound 'good', Mazda's SkyActiv-X engine in the Mazda3 runs so clean compared to conventional petrol engines that it doesn't need to have a particulate filter.
Manual gearboxes : is replaced with automatics Outside of UK : hold our stick.
My next car? Clk 55 amg from 1998. Thank s
Where I come from, passing a driving school test is done in a manual gearbox car. Will this requirement then be dumped from driving school tests? And emergency hill starts with manual gearboxes are handy and that will be lost too.
TOTALLY agree with this. Basically just buy some shit econobox & then get a track car is gonna be the ultimate solution.
So how will the loss of revenue from speed awareness courses and speeding fines be made up when we’re mostly driving all these 2022 spec vehicles?
wow very good question
The motorway police redundancy.
The government will find another ingenious way to screw the public over. If I recall correctly, there is already a Tax system being devised to recoup the Road Tax money which would be lost from everyone going electric in future.
Road Tolls - likely the charge by mile type www.autoblog.com/2020/07/22/germany-toll-european-union/
You gonna save 10x the costs on the healthcare savings when fewer people get into unnecessary traffic accidents because of idiots who think they know everything better and go over the speed limit.
Coffin dance is gonna play for all the car fans for the next year's or so
Just move to a country that doesnt have all the regulations
Lmao
@Neel Javia like Dubai for example?
Time to enter cheat codes into the cars console so i can drive faster
What a sad state of affairs! My next car will probably have to be a fairly old used one as the essential features I'm interested in when picking a car are a real key to actually start it, a manual gearbox, a proper handbrake, analogue gauges, fog lights, four doors, tail lights positioned way below the back window, the total absence of an infotainment system and other infuriating stuff such as parking sensors. All things considered, I believe the most likely result is that I'll just stop driving altogether. I mean, it's still going to be expensive and cause you to deal with traffic, fines and all the bad things associated with driving, but removing any hint of fun from it, so what's the point unless you actually need to? I figure I'll just end up renting a car once in a while when I feel I have no other choice.
