To clarify, the Golf R doesn’t have a supercharger, I was thinking about the earlier 1.4 TSI engines on the Golf GT which had both a turbo and a supercharger!

Gosh how has that sold so many? Ford in general is way behind most brands atm especially the likes of Renault, Peugeot & Kia who are also cheaper but better. The gear stick & steering wheel is giving 2006 vibes and the infotainment is giving 2016 I would put this in the same class as a Fiat 500 AKA a hairdressers car

No excuse for a mechanical handbrake in this day and age.
Great review, I’m currently considering this the HRV and also the ZRV and the Lexus LBX. I am surprised at the similarity in the ZRV and HRV they seem to compete for the same customers. I guess a test drive will help me decide.
@Carcode4 күн бұрын
Thanks John! I couldn’t comment on the LBX as I’ve never reviewed one or even sat in one, however I’ve heard good things and they do look great. The ZR-V is for customers perhaps used to something slightly sportier or larger, the HR-V is better in towns and cities thanks to it’s higher economy and smaller size. The ZR-V certainly has much more grunt than the HR-V, but that will happily keep on on the motorway too. Definitely worth a test drive 👍🏻

Great review. I had a test drive of one these last month and thought it was very impressive. Don't know why everyone is obsessed with the lack of split rear seat. Ive been driving 31 years and never needed to fold half the seat down. Oh and dont be fooled by the 7 year warranty as hardly anything is covered after 3.
@Carcode11 күн бұрын
Thank you! I think for families and tip runs etc, the split seats are useful and some manufacturers take it a step further like Honda with their ‘Magic Seats’, so it’s just a step behind, but like you mentioned it’s really not a dealbreaker for the majority of people! Yes the MG warranty isn’t comprehensive for 7 years.

Great review. Subbed. Have my MG3 Hybrid trophy spec just over 3 weeks. Love it. Smooth driving. Very comfortable seats. Split seat a non issue for me. Very happy with MPG. Averaging between 59 and 62mpg. Unbeatable spec/performance for price. Well done MG.

Are still using the EA888 with the cast iron block for 2 litre? would have been better if they went with an all new engine being mildly hybrid. VW falling behind the competition IMO.

The cast iron block is actually great. Make it aluminium and now you have to add all the weight back in to dampen and counter vibrations

Well done Sam - quality work as always 😊 (even the wasp wanted to be associated with your good work 😂). Wonder if it’s the same wasp from your last MG review that’s been waiting for you to come back 🤣😁 It’s a heck of a lot of Car for the money - I can see MG doing well with these. The lack of a split folding rear seat is a bizarre omission, like you it wouldn’t hugely bother me, but I can see it being missed by some buyers. That being said it’s performance, warranty and price more than make up for any odd shortcomings here and there 🙂
@Carcode13 күн бұрын
Cheers Richard! Yes I forgot about that, the wasp loves an MG 😅 It sure is good value for money in this day in age, I agree it’s an odd corner to cut not having split folding rear seats, but again wouldn’t bother me majorly.

Brilliant review Sam👏 I came accroas your channel when I watched your review of the car at the Geneva car show. It inspired me to look into the car and was one of the first to place an order, based on your review without a test drive and I'd never driven an MG. I've been looking forward to this full review. I've had mine nearly 2 months now. I've got the Metalic Black Trophy Model. Just short of 1k mileage now and I have no complaints at all. You've been spot on, not critical and pointing out things people may not like. Keep up your reviews. This is an honest one. 🎉

Next time, please get an adult to do the presentation. One who speaks a little slower and more clearer. Now I'm retired, I was looking for a 4 wheel drive vehicle with a large boot space to fit my wife's wheelchair in plus my shotguns and ammo. I really thought that the X-Trail was the one to buy, as money is not a problem for me. But after this poor presentation and the lack of tables for the rear seat passengers, plus a lack of a drivers armrest, I've decided against it. I've reviewed the VW Tiguan 4 Motion automatic, and it does seem to have those items which the X-Trail is missing. I still have more vehicles in mind but I'm sorry the X-Trail must be a no. no for me.

Nice motor but looks a A LOT smaller than the promotional material made it look a year ago. Nothing like an American explorer. Shame
@Carcode21 күн бұрын
Yes the online images are hard to put into perspective. I think the Explorer is the perfect size for a European marketed EV, being based on the ID.4 it is very similar in size to other medium SUVs. A coupe SUV will be coming out bringing back the Capri name, which should be a little bit bigger. Yes I think the Explorer name could cause a bit of confusion if compared to the American model, however as it’s not offered in Europe I like the name for the EV! I think Ford would do well with a large chunky styled EV SUV, the Mach E is quite large but has more of a sporty look. A good alternative if you wanted something bigger would be the Kia EV9 Thanks for watching 😄

That was a really good review. I'm starting to consider replacing my car and have been watching reviews for numerous hybrid cars and brands. But I seldom stay until the end of many, due to the presentation style .... some reviewers make too much effort to sell themselves rather than the car. In this review, I really felt it was all about the car and what it offered ...... concise and to the point observations. You kept subjective comments largely to a minimum and I came away thinking I might seriously check this car out at my nearest dealership. Well done!
