Renault has long been one of the most affordable brands in Ireland, they've updated the Kadjar with some new toys but is it enough to keep up with the German brands?

We have a 2014 Captur in the family. A few weeks ago I was at a not-so-local dealer and they had a current Captur and Kadjar in their showrooms. The Kadjar looked and felt as if it was from several classes above

I have the 162 Dynamic S Nav version and I really love it. I would love to see a review of the Renault Koleos to see the difference in your opinion as they are alot more expensive to buy. My Kadjar does 5.1 km/100 around small to big roads on the 1.5 model. Lovely to drive and is a great family car too.

1.5dci with 110hp have same issue with turbo lag. I belive the turbo itself is "too big" so before its start boosting nothing happens. My cure for it is to rev the engine a bit higher, so with the next gear im always slightly over 2k revs, which is perfect. 90hp version in mk3 megane have no turbo lag, i belive there is no variable geometry and turbo is smaller

Bob I bought last year model, Had you mk7 golf's before it. Personally build quality is "good" and it returns 4.4l per 100km out of it 15 diesel engine. Very happy, was badge snob but not anymore

@BobFlavinVideo 5 жыл бұрын

Nothing to do with the badge, Renault has a good badge. I like the Kadjar and it'll make great sense to buy one. That infotainment system drives me nuts though.

I had that 1.5dci in a grand scenic and remember my Mrs saying the car was broken as it was so slow before the power came on. But I can confirm you do get use to keeping in the turbo boost range and it’s fine

Ah Quality review as always Bob. Remember getting a spin in a 645 off you many years ago at a boards.ie meet. Had a Talisman recently as a hire car, and I reckon it's a shame they never brought it over here. I understand why they didn't, but I was impressed by it. As with most French cars, it was ridiculously comfortable. But agreed about the infotainment system. It was similar on it to the Kadjar, and was just not intuitive at all.

Must be nearly 10 years ago alright. Haven't been on the motors section for a long time. I don't know of any of the old community from when I was there are still around. Still a few good build threads going though.

Hard to beat what the VW group has to offer but this isn’t a bad effort from Renault. Still don’t get the SUV craze and will never beat a proper saloon or hatchback for driving dynamics, stability etc.

Bob, I think you’ve mixed up its competitor class...it’s in the same bracket as the Quashqai (or however the hell its spelled 😄). The Renault that “competes” against the Kodiac/Terraco etc is the Koleus.

Bob, so many of your reviews i have wathced because you are kind of funny and passionate to a certain degree..but really..I woudn't hurry to call you a proper motorjournalist just judging on the level of Information you seem to be lacking and not having gone through before and în the whole process of reviewing a car or another...

@donalshanaghy6381 5 жыл бұрын

Ahh... don't be negative. I believe Bob is one of the best. He is not kowtoweing to the motor manufacturers and distributors like other reviewers. He is honest and if a person wants detailed information about any car there are loads of other sources. "Bob is Best" (and he didn't pay me to say that !!!!)

@typhoontim125 5 жыл бұрын

If you watched Bob's Sunday Service live streams where people ask him questions for two hours you would realise that Bob REALLY knows his stuff! AND he's one very GOOD guy into the bargain and delivers all his you tube output with good humour and without fuss. Yes' he may not at times impart the same info in his car reviews that other more predictable reviewers do but he has his own relaxed, informal and in a way typically Irish style which maybe you don't appreciate. There are are plenty of other reviews to watch if you don't like it.

@BobFlavinVideo 5 жыл бұрын

See Radu, I could be the "same" as the rest of them and have the torque vectoring and output figures but anyone can read that from a press release, it's lazy and pointless. If you want that kind of review there's a multitude of them that have fallen by the wayside and some that are still going. I try to bring a different slant to things, fun but you get the info stuff. I don't have a crew, researchers, producers or anyone else to help just me and my camera. These are the reasons I am a reviewer, I couldn't care less about titles as there's a load of fans who want the truth and not some script written by the PR of a car company, someone who reads between the lines and really questions the value they are given. If you don't want that, it's ok I won't be offended but, if you want some press release reader I'm afraid you'll have to keep looking.
