On a test-drive/inspection, can one force the REX engine come on to check it's operation? On the US model. Especially in combination with recommendation to test-drive on an 80% or greater charge, to be able to judge battery health.

Just got a 2016 r-design nav-lux 2.4 D5. Not got all the bells and whistles, but plenty there. Great nic, full Volvo service history, 60k miles. I’ve booked it in for a cambelt service (£1079, ouch). Hoping to look after it and keep for a number of years. Great car 👍

Looking at a 2017 5.7 trail hawk with 73,000 ….. is it a bad idea ????

I've owned a 2003 and 2006. Both transmissions replaced under warranty- along with a few electrical issues. Both had under 35k miles with these issues. After that really no issues and sold at 80:85k miles. I don't recommend buying this tho. Too many issues of what could go wrong. I had new car bmw warranty on both.

Was that some footage of the brynamman mountain near the start?

Good video but tough to watch all way through with just one tone of voice all the way through

One thing that may happen on the M73 is the head bolts snapping. You will chase a coolant leak message and will see no leaks anywhere. Then you think you have a crack somewhere until you find a head bolt snapped... Being there and saw it many times. The block on these are damn solid but if you ever have a coolant hose go and the engine runs warmer for a bit, almost certain a head bolt will go.

220 CDI from 2011 is literally immortal!

Generally only people that haven’t owned a RR seem to tell everyone they are bad. I have had 6 RR and currently have the 5.0 supercharged and it’s fine as all others I have had from 3.0 diesel to the 4.4. silly basic problems which most cars get. Proper maintenance no issues. Don’t buy one if you can’t run one is the best advice on any luxury car.

i've put 207,000 km on my 2015 GTI, only issue to date was a leaking water pump

You didn’t emphasize enough the gearbox issues, this is by far the biggest one and it affected the car throughout its development cycle including 2023 model years. It’s a huge issue with the car unfortunately, you need to be aware of the face that you might need to replace the box at some point.

there was also a fuel pump recall, i've had it done

Adjusting for inflation, the ND3 base is slightly cheaper than the very first Miata.

No, no, nononono... until 3th generation. After that, ugly.

My 2022 ND2 had the issue with the roof rubbing against the roll hoop. It can be a big problem if left unaddressed because the rubbing can wear a hole into your convertible top, which is an expensive fix if you don't catch it within the warranty period, which can easily happen depending on how infrequently you put the top down. It doesn't just affect older models. It only happens if you push your seat all the way back.

Got my 2004 roadster GT RS in Australia. Couldn’t be more happier. After owning the NC for ten years. It is what it is. Nothing more nothing less. So grateful to Mazda for keeping it the real roadster it was originally built for.

2020 club owner here. Be on the lookout for your infotainment screen getting delaminated from the inside. This is due to sudden temperature change inside the cabin which in turn causes the adhesive on the inside of the screen to delaminate. If you have your AC on cold full blast on a hot sunny day and you park your car in direct sunlight which heats the infotainment screen assembly, it will happen. It looks like a bunch of spider webs or frozen ice crystals. I'm taking mine to the dealership in a couple of days to see if the warranty will cover it.

Thorough review, thank you. You have a new subscriber.

Why every Miata owner out always says something about put a smile on your face. I have cx5. It doesn’t do that to my face. 😅

Which is better 3.0L with supercharger or without supercharger petrol?

My press car this week is the Club trim. I’ve had a smile on my face the entire time.

MX5 is sexy

I own a 2015 981 GTS. I believe I’ve got the highest mileage 981 GTS ever at 284k Kms haha. Still running.

The kind of video we look for: straightforward and informative. Thanks!

I drive Volvo since 2007, a S60 2.4 T and an XC60 D5. I'm looking for a new one but I will not buy an S90 made in China or Malayasia...

I have the facelift and I love it a lot! What an epic car, 1 billion for a facelift?! 😅 But the rear subframe rust is annoying, it's supposedly under extended warranty for 20 years. But the dealers just won't change it unless it's broken or about to collapse. Mercedes is fully ignoring customers on that issue.

Great summary. I have owned a 2007 r56 s for 15 years and experienced a few of the common problems. Its undeniable that the n14 engine has its issues but there are many factors that contibute to its reputation. BMW's original Long Life oil change intervals got many engines off to a bad start with some suffering up to 20,000km between oil changes under Mini service plans. Add to this the tendacy to burn some oil, the difficulty in reading the standard dip stick, the weak original timing chain tensioner, and the way in which these fun cars are typically driven and you have a recipe for long term disaster.

Thanks for this review. It was very informative.

I have got a 320d E90 I love the car, sometimes it does 5 litres to run 100Km... Very economic!!!

One major issue with my '12 D3 XC70 is a faulty automatic gearbox. Since around 170k km, when putting it in Drive, it just bangs into gear like no clutch is applied whatsoever. Have had it flushed and have read about gearbox software issues online, but my Volvo workshop says that swapping out for a new gearbox is the only solution. They had one other XC70 with the same gearbox problem. Have been driving out for 3 years like this but it will go wrong one day. Other than that, had the windshield sealed again after 10 years as water was coming in (known issue apparently, but no guarantee by Volvo). Had the front bushings replaced around 180k km as well.

My recollection is that X Trails fitted with the (Renault 2.0 dci) diesel engine had a conventional 6 speed auto. Only the petrol versions had the CVT option.

There is a 2008/09 XKRS with the 4.2 SC, I got one in January and its amazing, 2 years looking out for one and kept it under wraps and its getting attention everywhere I go

How does a 2010-2012 European one, with around 2.5 or higher behave with a couple of adults, their luggage and driving in mountains with bad weather? I would assume not really too bad, because of the torque (the diesel ones especially i'd guess?)? I would like to know from both 4wd version and none 4wd. Anyone?

i have owned a v50 and aslo my grandpa and mom all of them suffered broken sprinngs in the front and ive also seen that the pcv hose to the cylinder head are of a bad material in the early models 2,4i

This is shit!

This video is the real deal

Dont buy this car,no need to thank me

a rattle on start up can be misdiagonosed as the timing chain when it is actually the oil pump chain and is nothing to worry about

I'm proud it a beautiful car I have one

Not a single mention of rear LSD oil not being changed regularly or the Y coolant pipe.

Random electronic warning messages are NOT a problem with the software, DO NOT update it. Charge your battery with a trickle charger. If you update the software you will lose some exhaust sound

This video is very misleading. Not all the cars you showed belonged within the fleet of the late great majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

My 2005 L322 had rusted rear-wheel arches, broken waterpump, severely compromised alternator, one of the parking sensors not working, and some electrical faults leading to the gauge needles intermittently becoming paralyzed and not moving at all, while the rest of the dash works fine. All in all well within spec for a car nearing 20 years old. Damn good car though. The L322 is something else to drive and to experience, but make sure to take good care of it and treat it well. It's a machine and it's an overbuilt, overdesigned tank that is actually rather easy to work on.

This was perfect. Thanks a much

How the hell is a individual supposed to check engine oil for all engine oil stop leak goop additives at home ? Unless you're a friggin nerd scientist with the engine oil additive test bed instrument's at home then yay can be done, but the way you spewed it is like anyone can spot oil additives in used oil. Period.

If you’re looking for a convertible, double check the weather seals all around the vehicle. Drop the top halfway and examine the mechanism for dry crusty seals at all the connection points. Dry or cracked seals are a red flag. They required special care and maintenance from the previous owner. Neglected cars have leaking c and a pillars and the replacement seals are difficult to find now. Just be wary, buyer. These vehicles are timeless, but they are still older now.
