No thank you, I can see this example has lasted less than 3,800 miles

It was gentleman's relish (we don't know what was used, the PR teams detailers are the ones who cleaned the car)

It's sporty in the same way a darts player is

Are you excited?

We're glad you like it

You’re welcome

My name is Rob and I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤️

Thanks for watching

Have you ever considered joining them together and making a six door?

You could move to the UK and buy one?

Dacia won't let us drive the new duster so this is actually much better

Last time I paid it, it was £695, however I sold the car over a year ago so I suspect with the annual price increases, the VED would now be in the region of £725.

On a long walk along a short pier

Good for you

This is a car show, not Trinny and Susannah

@@BuckleUpShow Presenters can dress up to present a car, no need for beach gear to do that.

This was filmed on one of the hottest days of the year. Also, Canterbury shorts are hardly beach gear.

@@BuckleUpShow It is not what a presenter should wear, presenting a car, however hot it is.

Did my meaty thighs distract you from the car?

No it isn't

Sounds like you have an axe to grind

Why are you so upset? We only said it didn’t drive as well as a Mach-e (which is true) and that we wouldn’t buy any of the cars in this class other than the Ioniq 5N.

@ which Mach-E trim drives better? And if you care so much about the drive just get a performance version… the whole video and your attitude in it is just weird and off putting. Is the model Y perfect? Not by any means. Is it the best selling vehicle and the best deal for your money? For sure. Nothing is perfect, everything has tradeoffs. You don’t need to be nit picky and pity to point out the few minor flaws while coming to the same conclusion. Another surprising thing is how you guys missed the biggest advantages model y has over the competition: efficiency and technology. I guess you are “drivers” and these details are irrelevant to you… meanwhile if you really wanted to focus on driving experience you could’ve at least picked a performance trim

All Mach-e ‘trims’ drive better. It has a better chassis. Driving experience is just one of many important factors and is not the be all and end all. While faster in a straight line, the Performance trim isn’t that much better in the corners because of the lacking in chassis, suspension and brake tuning over the standard models. So by your logic, we can say the car isn’t perfect, but we can’t say why? It’s not ‘nit picking’ to point out flaws which none of its rivals have, it’s our job. We mentioned both efficiency and technology, neither of which are irrelevant to us. Please can you tell us why, in your little cult, everything has to be binary? It’s either the best car ever, no questions asked, or you don’t know what you’re talking about and you’re just a Tesla hater who’s biased with an agenda. Now that’s weird.

The appliance comment has nothing to do with it not being a drivers car, which we would never expect it to be. It’s because it’s completely devoid of any soul which other cars in class can now provide.

@ to me the Y is like the modern day VW Beetle, even has some similarity in looks. Hugely functional, with a sense of humour, integrated brilliantly with its charging network and software, suspension to try to maximise both performance and comfort of passengers. Power if you want it, huge storage, some off-road capability, even brilliant for camping. And I don’t own one, but I can see why it’s the biggest selling car in the world, it manages to tick all sorts of boxes other cars don’t, or do but across about 3 different cars. That’s soul for me, it’s like the peoples’ car.

Have you ever driven a Beetle? Because it’s none of those things. We said it has a lot of positives, but it also has a lot of negatives. The price is the only reason this sells as well as it does. Most people are choosing it because it’s so much cheaper per month than its rivals, rather than because it’s a Tesla.

@ I’ve driven multiple Beetles. Terrible handling, not much power. But fun. Always fun. The Model Y is not a cheap car unless you lease it, in some countries. A lot of people who own it aren’t leasing it. The Y works because it manages to be a family car, with performance, some off-road capability, lots of sense of humour, miles of storage space, superb sound system, great multimedia, big open sky views. Like a Swiss Army Knife of cars. (I’m also an engineer, and find most of what enthusiasts classify as a good car not particularly relevant to the full complexity of motoring.)

And where they buy it, it’s still because it’s the cheapest. While I don’t agree with all of your positives, which of this cars rivals wouldn’t it apply to as well? They all have all that stuff you just mentioned. Jasper is an engineer and he’s more bothered that the trim is coming off after 3,800 miles on the odometer.

That wire isn’t plugging into anything. It’s a USB-C to USB-A adapter cable without anything plugged into the USB-A end. Android Auto is wireless and therefore requires no physical connection.

Wow, lol! Okay . Thanks for the quick response. It's just placed so perfectly and squarely.. and two seconds after this screenshot, just looks plugged in .. to me. Thanks for the clarification! 6:11

I can’t think of a small car with reach adjustment on the steering column, it’s just expected that it won’t be the best for us taller people.

There are places on the farm we filmed the review on that the forester wouldn't be able to go through, that doesn't mean it's not very impressive off road though

@@BuckleUpShow Wow, must be some impressive mud holes you have over there. 😁

Most people don’t work on their own cars nowadays

@@BuckleUpShow i know , that is why i said "as a workshop worker" , you guys are lucky you don't work on this cars because you will be so frustrated with it you want to drive it to the dump and leave it there

It’s not mine but I’m sure that’ll be helpful for others in the comments

Would be more fun if it was on the night boat to Cairo *Ska music intensifies*

Yeah the ride is pretty terrible at low speeds, especially on our broken roads. If it were as expensive as rivals, we’d draw more attention, but as you say, the value is its biggest plus.

Let’s wait and see

Sound like a good deal

It was! Don’t worry, he’ll be back on Sunday!

As long as you lease it 😉

@@BuckleUpShowwhy would you lease it?

To protect yourself from depreciation

@@BuckleUpShow you are paying the depreciation of a car when you lease it 😭💀 and after the lease is done you own nothing

You pay much less than depreciation if you lease it in current markets. Why would you want to own something that depreciates so quickly?

It’s definitely a problem

Well, let’s hope they can fix that problem in their redesign in the coming year :)

They haven't on the redesigned 3 so we're not holding much hope for them

Features like parking sensors and cameras are very important to not lose sight of 😁

They do offer incredibly good value for money. Just don't expect it to retain value particularly well after you buy it 😂

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes

But beautifully formed.

You flirt 😅

Yes, Honda's system is very different to Toyota's, despite achieving a similar result! Both very good hybrid systems.

Most people don’t use 90% of the range to drive to work. The point is it’s a real world test.

@BuckleUpShow so in this caseyou should charge them to 100% and check how much exactly they spent/took. While in you video you trust numbers on screen. Which as everyone knows LIE.

As can be seen in the video we compared the numbers on screen with our own calculations, to attempt to account for that. We were not doing a full range test from 100% charged to 0%, as that is not how people drive EVs. We were showing what kind of consumption the cars would have in direct comparison with one another, on a journey representative of a reasonable commute.

@@BuckleUpShow you do not trust numbers on screen. charge to 100%, do your test. charge to 100% again. Observe how much of energy exactly car spent. it is so easy. same way as you determine actual gaz consuption.

Did you actually bother to read the comment above or listen to what was said at the end of the video?

Thanks for watching, are you considering any other cars?

Another reason why it’s pointless

Reject modernity, embrace tradition

Have you test driven the Enyaq?

@ I haven’t nope but what u think from your experience

If it were my money I would buy the Enyaq, it's not as nice outright as the Ioniq 5 but I would rather have the saving

@ thank u bud I’m going going for the enyaq coupe not the sports version nor map

We did, it’s in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGPcfZZnrLekgMUsi=ilPMsrtTSll2K_Vb

amzn.eu/d/hCHjwXX looks like they don't sell it anymore, but it's just this + a large flat bed

If you don't do lots of road trips, the Niro

Are you excited? What spec did you go for?

@@BuckleUpShow SE Classic triim + xl

Yes. Your point being? (Also in 2026 assembly at the plant in Oxford, UK will start)

@BuckleUpShow Just a statement of fact.

So there’s no issue then?

​@BuckleUpShow Think what you like. I have no interest in your comments.

We’re just trying to establish if you think it’s a good or bad thing? Because you haven’t said, we’ll just have to assume you think it’s a good thing.

Neither can we, but we can all sit and appreciate the beautiful styling together?

Yes, it's an odd choice in some ways, but from a cost standpoint makes a lot of sense as will be cheaper to manufacture like that
