these pedal shifters you as well they

0:05:08.120,0:05:16.710

like plastic oh yeah you feel quite

0:05:12.480,0:05:21.000

plastic yeah okay and you have your

0:05:16.710,0:05:24.650

infotainment screen okay let's take a

0:05:21.000,0:05:24.650

look so you have a few things here

0:05:26.419,0:05:32.520

first of your media so you can control

0:05:28.949,0:05:35.430

your this is for your FM radio AM and

0:05:32.520,0:05:38.210

auxilary you can plug in your phone and

0:05:35.430,0:05:41.550

you know play your music from your phone

0:05:38.210,0:05:48.800

climate okay you can control the aircon

0:05:41.550,0:05:48.800

from yeah just by tapping on it okay

0:05:49.160,0:05:53.850

phone you can connect your phone to the

0:05:51.360,0:05:58.169

car and you know set calls and play your

0:05:53.850,0:05:59.039

music and all that stuff okay this is

0:05:58.169,0:06:02.310

your sat-nav

0:05:59.039,0:06:04.759

currently we are mo kio press screen to

0:06:02.310,0:06:04.759

continue

0:06:08.950,0:06:20.130

okay I think he doesn't recognize pinch

0:06:13.140,0:06:20.130

pinch to zoom okay yeah so I think

0:06:22.220,0:06:39.470

it only recognizes like when you wanna

0:06:25.390,0:06:45.310

been somewhere else so you can zoom in

0:06:39.470,0:06:45.310

and out using this this thing here

0:06:53.090,0:07:07.940

and then let's see what we have here is

0:06:55.160,0:07:11.330

probably so it's it's keyboard not

0:07:07.940,0:07:16.430

unlike you know PMA and Mercedes where

0:07:11.330,0:07:19.180

you have the sort of handwriting it can

0:07:16.430,0:07:24.040

detect your handwriting on the swivel

0:07:19.180,0:07:37.630

wheel okay this one doesn't so let's say

0:07:24.040,0:07:37.630

maybe let's see

0:07:42.280,0:07:50.320

okay so I see dungeon cotton in the

0:07:48.680,0:08:05.900

house number

0:07:50.320,0:08:16.250

let's see choke please proceed to the

0:08:05.900,0:08:23.110

highlighted route okay so you stop by

0:08:16.250,0:08:23.110

pressing this button here okay and then

0:08:24.160,0:08:35.170

you can enter your postcode recent

0:08:27.050,0:08:35.170

address points of interest intersection

0:08:35.470,0:08:40.540

what does intersection we know ended

0:08:37.940,0:08:40.540

okay

0:08:40.850,0:08:45.740

trips geo-coordinates point on man so

0:08:43.520,0:08:47.990

you have quite a number of ways for you

0:08:45.740,0:08:52.460

to enter your address as in the

0:08:47.990,0:08:55.820

destination that you wanna go to lab

0:08:52.460,0:08:57.380

settings where too many favorites

0:08:55.820,0:09:09.890

information let's see what information

0:08:57.380,0:09:12.830

has so this is good for people who not

0:09:09.890,0:09:14.660

good with directions and you know if

0:09:12.830,0:09:18.100

someone calls you and I'll see where you

0:09:14.660,0:09:18.100

are I can just use this feature here

0:09:19.900,0:09:32.230

favorite you

0:09:35.060,0:09:47.430

yeah so that's about it for this so this

0:09:38.819,0:09:51.559

body for the navigation let's see eco

0:09:47.430,0:09:55.670

data shows you're driving you're driving

0:09:51.559,0:09:55.670

some driving statistics

0:10:14.050,0:10:25.780

advanced trip okay so you have all your

0:10:16.940,0:10:25.780

statistics here and no fiction launches

0:10:30.190,0:10:34.550

use low friction launch on low group

0:10:32.660,0:10:40.700

services such as Red Cross snow and ice

0:10:34.550,0:10:57.500

okay so it's like something like

0:10:40.700,0:10:59.050

traction control I guess in turn all the

0:10:57.500,0:11:01.220

[Music]

0:10:59.050,0:11:03.590

feedback on just by pressing the button

0:11:01.220,0:11:07.520

there and these buttons they have

0:11:03.590,0:11:10.010

they're very clicky kind of feel that

0:11:07.520,0:11:14.120

clicky sound when you press on them it

0:11:10.010,0:11:17.020

reminds me of the howdy-howdy the

0:11:14.120,0:11:17.020

buttons you get in howdy

0:11:18.550,0:11:25.010

so these buttons have a very tricky song

0:11:21.980,0:11:29.930

when you press on them so reminds me of

0:11:25.010,0:11:31.130

the boat engine and howdy yeah okay so

0:11:29.930,0:11:33.350

that's about it for the infotainment

0:11:31.130,0:11:37.040

screen these potentials can actually use

0:11:33.350,0:11:43.780

it to control the things in you know

0:11:37.040,0:11:43.780

like settings that see the systems at a

0:11:48.670,0:11:59.540

the touchscreen interface I won't say

0:11:52.459,0:12:02.420

it's clunky but I think it works but

0:11:59.540,0:12:08.380

maybe it can be improved on a bit more

0:12:02.420,0:12:08.380

in terms of the smoothness I see

0:12:18.090,0:12:21.249

[Music]

0:12:21.360,0:12:31.510

nation so you see what I mean by like

0:12:26.760,0:12:33.610

smoothness it's you know it looks smooth

0:12:31.510,0:12:41.080

on camera but when you use it it's a bit

0:12:33.610,0:12:43.540

I don't know it's I think nice smooth is

0:12:41.080,0:12:46.920

in other costs like you know the Germans

0:12:43.540,0:12:46.920

EMI series Aldi

0:13:01.600,0:13:10.310

so moving on this spot here if your your

0:13:08.060,0:13:13.009

icon controls for your passenger side

0:13:10.310,0:13:14.930

and your driver side okay control the

0:13:13.009,0:13:17.629

fan using these buttons here okay so I

0:13:14.930,0:13:22.370

just love the icon turn it back on and

0:13:17.629,0:13:25.279

you can control the temperature is there

0:13:22.370,0:13:29.120

very nice clicky feel which I really

0:13:25.279,0:13:37.720

like okay and then here's your volume

0:13:29.120,0:13:37.720

control for your radio Radio okay so

0:13:38.079,0:13:46.699

yeah this very this part of the car is a

0:13:43.430,0:13:49.040

very the finish is very very nice okay

0:13:46.699,0:13:53.300

so it's like this piano black kind of

0:13:49.040,0:13:56.449

finish which yeah it's not even a

0:13:53.300,0:13:59.240

fingerprint magnet look at it you can't

0:13:56.449,0:14:02.720

even see okay baby you can see a bit but

0:13:59.240,0:14:05.480

you know it's not that obvious when you

0:14:02.720,0:14:11.569

have fingerprints on the thing and you

0:14:05.480,0:14:16.060

changed your gear by selecting selecting

0:14:11.569,0:14:20.500

your different yes yeah okay

0:14:16.060,0:14:22.780

and here you have your engine auto

0:14:20.500,0:14:25.030

start-stop okay

0:14:22.780,0:14:29.050

I usually put it on off because I hit

0:14:25.030,0:14:31.120

auto start-stop this is your driving

0:14:29.050,0:14:37.990

mode okay so this is your normal mode

0:14:31.120,0:14:41.350

dynamic mode eco mode and this is your

0:14:37.990,0:14:44.280

reading ice and snow mode case we'll

0:14:41.350,0:14:44.280

just leave it

0:14:44.550,0:14:49.770

eco mode okay and this is your

0:14:50.660,0:14:53.800

checks in control

0:14:56.120,0:15:03.309

so this is your a SPC button also face

0:15:00.050,0:15:06.920

progress controlled so what it does is

0:15:03.309,0:15:09.740

it provides like assistance in low

0:15:06.920,0:15:13.430

traction situations so for example if

0:15:09.740,0:15:16.850

the surface is wet or some area the car

0:15:13.430,0:15:18.680

will help to accept like optimum

0:15:16.850,0:15:20.269

traction control for you okay so it's

0:15:18.680,0:15:25.220

like a low-speed cruise control

0:15:20.269,0:15:29.329

something that yeah and if you and if

0:15:25.220,0:15:32.290

you press on it then I will say the SPC

0:15:29.329,0:15:32.290

off selecting

0:15:39.830,0:15:45.019

[Music]

0:15:41.260,0:15:47.709

stepping into the back of the car you

0:15:45.019,0:15:50.690

can see that there's plenty of knee room

0:15:47.709,0:15:53.290

but hit room suffers a little bit

0:15:50.690,0:15:56.510

there's not a lot of headroom actually

0:15:53.290,0:16:00.440

there's also a center panel in the video

0:15:56.510,0:16:02.420

so to carry three adults in the back the

0:16:00.440,0:16:07.190

person sitting in the middle may be a

0:16:02.420,0:16:08.990

bit uncomfortable for longer journeys so

0:16:07.190,0:16:10.760

now it's time for us to take this car

0:16:08.990,0:16:13.240

out on the road and see what it's like

0:16:10.760,0:16:13.240

to drive

0:16:14.560,0:16:23.420

at low speeds I notice that the steering

0:16:19.120,0:16:27.380

becomes lighter and it's actually quite

0:16:23.420,0:16:30.230

light so it makes maneuvering around

0:16:27.380,0:16:32.700

town or low-speed or even in a car park

0:16:30.230,0:16:35.430

makes it very

0:16:32.700,0:16:37.830

and you really feel the difference as

0:16:35.430,0:16:42.320

you pick up speed the steering wheel

0:16:37.830,0:16:42.320

gets heavier and heavier

0:16:46.880,0:16:53.040

but no questions there because you see

0:16:49.180,0:16:54.840

solo in the car and your

0:16:53.040,0:16:58.650

visibility

0:16:54.840,0:17:01.620

and because we knows that not very big

0:16:58.650,0:17:05.700

as you can see that don't feel is also

0:17:01.620,0:17:09.030

very high it's like

0:17:05.700,0:17:12.540

it's like right up to my shoulders so

0:17:09.030,0:17:14.970

because the top fellas are so high up

0:17:12.540,0:17:18.300

and the windows are quite small you can

0:17:14.970,0:17:20.339

feel a bit faster phobic in this car the

0:17:18.300,0:17:22.860

door opening is also not very wide so if

0:17:20.339,0:17:24.959

you're a bigger taller person you may

0:17:22.860,0:17:28.470

struggle a little bit to get in this car

0:17:24.959,0:17:32.910

and also the fact that the driver seat

0:17:28.470,0:17:35.720

is quite low to the ground for me

0:17:32.910,0:17:43.520

someone who is about 1.75 meters tall

0:17:35.720,0:17:43.520

this car is perfect you know because

0:17:43.730,0:17:57.029

and also because you have this thing

0:17:48.450,0:18:00.749

this is the sort of French onion so you

0:17:57.029,0:18:03.960

feel like you're surrounded by this

0:18:00.749,0:18:07.710

thing in this guy's life and I saw sort

0:18:03.960,0:18:11.100

of wraps around it which adds the pass

0:18:07.710,0:18:14.059

character of food

0:18:11.100,0:18:14.059

there's a way of

0:18:17.830,0:18:25.360

of a second home a second of the

0:18:21.290,0:18:25.360

but I thought it just

0:18:25.600,0:18:31.930

so how quiet is this cup so this is

0:18:34.810,0:18:37.839

[Music]

0:18:42.220,0:18:50.049

and this is a common in those really not

0:18:48.490,0:18:52.690

I think a'somethin thinking this guy is

0:18:50.049,0:18:54.640

not bad

0:18:52.690,0:18:58.640

they're really not

0:18:54.640,0:19:00.860

super-quiet because you you don't get a

0:18:58.640,0:19:02.750

lot of weed notice but you do get

0:19:00.860,0:19:08.960

several and so I'm not sure if it's just

0:19:02.750,0:19:11.960

the car or the tires I felt like okay

0:19:08.960,0:19:13.460

when I was making that you did I felt

0:19:11.960,0:19:15.710

like when I locked the steering wheel

0:19:13.460,0:19:19.640

all the way there was like some spring

0:19:15.710,0:19:22.130

at the end which prevents me from from

0:19:19.640,0:19:24.350

like turning the wheel even further

0:19:22.130,0:19:27.680

I don't read knowledge base but as a

0:19:24.350,0:19:31.010

like springy feeling which is yeah which

0:19:27.680,0:19:34.610

is interesting as the special on this

0:19:31.010,0:19:35.820

car is wanted a firmer side but it's

0:19:34.610,0:19:38.940

still

0:19:35.820,0:19:41.239

I would say still pretty comfortable but

0:19:38.940,0:19:44.479

if you're looking for colleges

0:19:41.239,0:19:47.700

if confer is one of your top priorities

0:19:44.479,0:19:49.830

you should be considering another car

0:19:47.700,0:19:52.590

maybe like five series of a class

0:19:49.830,0:19:57.169

because this guy's waterless body is

0:19:52.590,0:19:57.169

more spotty than comfortable

0:19:57.919,0:20:04.230

sound system on this guy is excellent it

0:20:00.960,0:20:07.610

comes with a Meridian sound system so

0:20:04.230,0:20:07.610

I'm going to let you guys listen

0:20:10.970,0:20:16.670

[Music]

0:20:20.340,0:20:23.480

[Music]

0:20:28.150,0:20:32.340

[Music]

0:20:29.810,0:20:35.430

so the Meridian sound system is a

0:20:32.340,0:20:38.330

surround sound system and it truly lives

0:20:35.430,0:20:41.610

up to its name because I can I can feel

0:20:38.330,0:20:44.700

the sound coming from all sides so it's

0:20:41.610,0:20:47.370

like literally the music is surrounding

0:20:44.700,0:20:50.190

me who is this couple I would say this

0:20:47.370,0:20:55.710

car is for those who do very very

0:20:50.190,0:20:57.960

members once in a while but most of the

0:20:55.710,0:20:59.870

time here in the carload and they are

0:20:57.960,0:21:04.440

looking for something which is very

0:20:59.870,0:21:06.600

sporty something that is more I'll say

0:21:04.440,0:21:10.410

unique something that's not as common as

0:21:06.600,0:21:17.450

your BM Series and Audi or then I would

0:21:10.410,0:21:17.450

say yoga itself is perfect for you here

0:21:18.070,0:21:23.050

if you're looking for something fast for

0:21:20.650,0:21:25.310

Singapore adults a nice car is fast

0:21:23.050,0:21:29.250

enough

0:21:25.310,0:21:33.990

is about seven seconds somewhere on it

0:21:29.250,0:21:35.280

is God which is CR not not bad but if

0:21:33.990,0:21:36.750

you're looking for a faster car

0:21:35.280,0:21:43.350

definitely you need to check out the

0:21:36.750,0:21:49.140

jaguar xf xf s which has a 336 I'm not

0:21:43.350,0:21:52.950

sure if Jaguar brings in s line s lines

0:21:49.140,0:21:56.880

and result if it brings in the xf s into

0:21:52.950,0:21:59.730

singapore the xf s comes with a twin

0:21:56.880,0:22:02.700

turbo v6 engine and does 200 in about

0:21:59.730,0:22:06.990

five less than six seconds I think was

0:22:02.700,0:22:10.680

5.3 seconds so what do I think of the

0:22:06.990,0:22:13.350

Jaguar XF overall I think that Jaguar XF

0:22:10.680,0:22:17.130

is an excellent car it's the epitome of

0:22:13.350,0:22:19.710

a sports sedan it's practical yet it's

0:22:17.130,0:22:22.080

very very sporty so it definitely says I

0:22:19.710,0:22:24.320

think it serves a more niche a customer

0:22:22.080,0:22:28.590

segment as compared to you know your

0:22:24.320,0:22:30.570

traditional bmrda Mercedes so that's my

0:22:28.590,0:22:33.540

first attempt at reviewing a car if
