Great review, better presenter. Love the personality as well as all the in-depth and down-to-earth analysis. 10/10

Fake tailpipes are really not a deal breaker. Personally, i think they add to the style.

The Gllf GTI has been the king of the hot hatches for many years. Long msy it reign.

I think it does come with red bar as standard. The light bar on front is optional upgrade.

Gloss black looks more premium, but scratches easier so won't age as well. Matte black doesn't look as good new but will age better. I'd love one on these face lift clubsports, they fixed the electrical niggles and hot hatches ar a dying breed. Future collectors item!

Was looking to buy a 2024 Tiguan here in Canada. Test drive but found the infotainment screen fiddly & not really intuitive. Asked the dealership when the series 3 would come to Canada, she denied there WAS a series 3! So reluctant to spend C$56,000 on a vehicle that is soon to be an old model. This new model really looks like it may have answered some of my negatives. Great review. Thank You!

Why are the expensive? In Australia they start at £23,600 and top out at £30,000. Who would buy one at the UK price? No one.

God awful wheels, Gti badges look cheap and nasty and the ones on the door look ridiculous,looks odd from the front as well and why have they gone back to the old design of radar. I'll stick with my TCR 👍🏻

It's a great looking car. But it always annoys me, when the top of the range cars still have to upgrade the car. My car was the top spec, but still had a £600 paint option and a must £1500 wheels upgrade.

Keep it vw are cheap and nasty

man this thing is ugly

Had ours for nearly 4 years It’s not going anywhere soon 😊 The left side is also the same on the 8 model too

Another great review Tish, relaxed with everything covered. Although its a good looking little Lexus, I'd find the lack of elbow room and the step down into the boot very irritating. Regarding your comparison to Honda, I recently acquired a Honda zr v advance (after seeing your review for it!) which has plenty of elbow room and a lovely flat boot, plus a brilliant 2 ltr engine and electric motor set up making a fantastic yet economic drive - ending my 30 odd years as a Toyota/ Lexus driver.

Girl Only Likes Fun!❤😉

Great review and I agree with your points on the red bar not being fixed at the front when the car is off. Its great that it does appear when driving but when stationary it is hard to differentiate this from a Golf R or any other Golf model a little bit. My OCD is also not happy with the front vents not being symmetrical so good spot but that's not a deal breaker and overall the car is a great little facelift upgrade from the MK8 👍

I love my new MG3 Trophy, but I find it too quiet, I,m used to engine noise...NONE..and it aint arf quick. Superb..MG its a Winner.

❤❤🎉

Cannot believe that VW will drop the iconic GTI in the near future.🤞

Another great review and critique of the car! I like the exterior design - it looks aggressive but manages to retain classiness. One thing that I'm not a fan of is the from LED light bar running between the light clusters. Not sure about the illuminated brand logo trend too. One day it might grow on me.

She speaks with a British accent, quotes prices in pounds, but the cars are left hand drive American.

I really like this. I’ve had a few Octavia vrs in the past but I prefer this over the new vrs that’s coming out. May have to pop to vw tomorrow now!

I like it. 👍

I have just test drove this! its eveything a model 3 needs to be and better built, matching paintwork, no rattles. Its excellent. The interior is a bit busy. However, its a serious contender for my next car. Its got one huge upgade over my current Tesla model 3...... no Elon.

Nice ev

Love the styling of this! The regular version looks awful

Great car Shame the price and it only being an EV with no hybrid option

new hybrid seal06 show up yesterday and only 99800rmb is that about 13800 dollars lower price🎉

Sorry Trish turned this off as soon as you said the price.

My vote and money goes to BYD Seal

We picked up a new one a few days ago and the one thing that absolutely gets on my nerves is the incessant speed warning! 🤣 I hate systems that reset themselves when you turn a car off and the over speed warning is one of those that comes back on once the car is turned off and on again!

I agree about the screen a smaller screen would fit in Portrait better like the one in the Polestar 2. Blame TESLA they started the war of the screens and many Chinese brands are way more screens mad than BYD.

I would point your viewers to the What Car triple test that had the Model 3, Seal and ID7 on a return trip to the West Country. In just about all practical measures, the Model 3 was clearly the better buy. You've got to really love indicator stalks to choose anything else.

The only reason it is over £40K is over £10K of British government taxes. In China the AWD Dual Motor version sells for just under £28,000 equivalent RMB. They have 3 versions in China so this one is the middle version which you can buy in China for literally half the price that it is in the UK with the same quality trim.

I want to see those storage areas, Why keep the camera on the reviewer.?

Well done for being appreciative and open-minded: The version in China has more ocean decoration on rear side and back this UK one is toned down because they know Brits are miserable and boring and recoil at anything outside of their bubble. Some Brit car reviewers have had to go into therapy just to deal with can't get over issues relating to the guitar strings in the ATTO 3.

Two levels in UK. But the RWD is the best choice it is more efficient, longer range and actually feels faster than it really is and more fun than AWD dual motor even though the AWD has an 0-60 that twice as fast, but who needs that?

The exterior changes are very drastic actually, especially in the front, I don't understand how you can call them minor.

No Android Auto? Why would someone build a car and then deter 70% of the world's population from buying one?

Hi Tish, do you think the BYD Seal Design trim is better than the cheaper Tesla Model? I love the Seal more because it has a drivers display and HUD in the £48,000 Excellence AWD version, hopefully Tesla would take some notes down.

It definitely has Android Auto, not only that it's wireless, unlike wired only Apple carplay. But I've heard wireless Apple carplay can (or already has) be on an OTA update.

Not gonna trust a Chinese company

really enjoy watching your reviews on cars tiah keep up the great work

Is it better than a Polestar 2?

This BYD model has been sold like a cake in Thailand!

I think you were exaggerating about the Steering, my current MG3 has pin sharp steering, so I can’t see the new one not being as good.

has Android Auto. CarPlay is wired and Android Auto is wireless. Have a Performance 3.8s

I find it's always best if the paint and wheels are included with your new car!!!!! Especially on a car that in five years time won't be worth a carrot!

The Chinese EV brands are well-known for paying large chunks of money to influencers for good reviews...

The important thing for the four wheel drive is ground clearance. The Kodiaq has it.

Did I understood it right that the car don't support Android Auto? Or just wireless Android Auto and you need a cable to activate? Nice Greetings from Germany ☺️
