@gggromay 10 жыл бұрын

Thats pretty dumb, the Auto Park function only controls the steering, the driver still operates the gears, throttle and the brake, so backing into a car like that is completely the "drivers" fault, and if he cant even reverse a car, equipped with parking sensors, what the hell is he doing presenting a show dedicated to cars?? lame...

I love mine so smooth, pleasure to drive , I have the R Design in Rebel blue , these guys did not do it justice at all , I don’t know what kind of review this is , was more like taking it to local yobs and saying what do you think ? Ermmm we got extra knobs 😀👍🏽,, 🤣🤣🤣 I’m a top gear fan myself though so I don’t know this show 🤷🏽‍♀️ this wouldn’t help anyone no info (pros or cons) .. the front of mine is not boring. It has the pedestrian sensors a camera I don’t use the park assistance either. But great to have the option. Seats very comfortable (half suede half leather ) a lot of space in the car and boot . I don’t have the flashy knob 🤔 Nav built in , I have the diesel is soooooo quiet! Cup holders front and bk 🤷🏽‍♀️ Stop /start engine all extras voice commands , dial changes , has everything , I always get compliments on the car and asked why I choose to buy this car (Volvo v40 ) My reply always same Volvos are well built strong cars , it’s great on insurance. And I don’t wanna have same car as everyone else , So not only is it reliable , good looking all the extras and I don’t have to have the same Astra as everyone else or if they think they being different the bmw 1 series. 😊.

How do you find the R design over bumps? Do you really feel them much?

@AllScarsHealTarotcardreader 2 жыл бұрын

@@fixfamily hey two years on I’m still in love my car. The bumps I do slow right down (if we are talking speed bumps) because of the low trim so yes it’s good over them . People always say how smooth the drive is . Do you have one what’s your experience with it? When I initially got mine I was parking (slowly ) my front bumper hit the curb that’s when I realised how low so that’s why I learned very quickly to go slower

the pedestrian airbag comes through the hinged area of the hood to protect the pedestrian from hitting "the windscreen", but it pushes the "bonnet" into them at the same time. lol i consider this as a bonnet to the face for the pedestrian, and extra protection for the passengers.

1:16 "Well I think the airbag comes out there somewhere???" Could you be any more unprepared for a for a vehicle review if you tried? This information is freely available? Even direct from Volvo. I though the whole point of reviewing something was to offer your INFORMED critical analysis cased on core elements and professional knowledge in the field. One without the other leaves you 50% unprepared and this debacle unfolds.

Park assist? yet another driver aid to help produce a generation of inadquacy and dangerous drivers. Anyone who is not capable of parking their own vehicle has no right to a driving licence.

@jooger69 10 жыл бұрын

Actually parking cars has become increasingly more difficult through out the years. Visibility is worse because of safety requirements (thicker pilars) and the cars are larger. Since most parking spaces are made for cars from the 70s there is a lot less space. Turning radiuses are also worse these days. Also cars used to have bumpers for a reason. A small touch could be buffed out. Now days it can crack a plastic "bumper". That's why companies are introducing devices like this. I'd much rather prefer people having these devices instead of damaging my car.
