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.

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 🙂

Thankyou for reviewing my car in such depth 🤍

Great review, very informative

Great review. Thanks for not being a comedian. Lack of no rear split seat is a dealbreaker for me.Can't imagine what MG were thinking

Brilliany podcast. Keep up the great content, you response to the comments make me laugh. 😂 I have a channel too, so appreciate the hard work your putting in. Well done 🚘🚘

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. 🎉

Great video

Amazing what you're getting for the money, it'll interesting to see what the long term reliability will be like.

Brilliant video. 10/10 👍

Pardon me for asking, but ru trans?

Ty for this review, i’m looking at getting a brand new golf style!

Sorry how much is the yearly tax for this car?

BMW 1 series yeah design is close to Kia now. And a review is made up of facts and your opinion on the product, so there is nothing wrong with your reviews. May this channel grow 🙏

I’d like to see the new Mercedes CLE cabriolet reviewed by you! Thinking this might be my next car 🤞

looks good like it well done sam

Better than car wow.

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.

What the fuck is that person?

Excellent review. Well done.

My girlfriend just bought one of these, she didnt go for the + version, just the Tekna, because she preferred the leather look and not the alcantara, she loves it!

Good to see you touching on all trim levels. I test drove the Elegance trim. Very comfortable. Seats are amazing. Prefer the look of the R Line. Good to hear that you thought the R line wasnt too firm on the 20" alloys.

Hey what a great thorough review 😊

Nice motor but looks a A LOT smaller than the promotional material made it look a year ago. Nothing like an American explorer. Shame

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!

Fab podcast as always Sam 😊 Some interesting cars to look at - how about the new KGM Torres that looks like a total change of direction for Ssangyong. Also how about the Ioniq 5 N and the new Mini? Also you just keep being you, and remember to keep smiling through negative comments! The main reason I love watching your reviews is for your take on stuff - if people just want a spec sheet they can look on a manufacturers website rather than KZbin!! Carcode has grown so much since that first review I watched for the MX-30 at Dobsons and you are absolutely the best bit about the channel. So no changes please, just more of the usual Carcode content will do us all fine ☺️ Also looking forward to some Up!dates - I hope your mum is still made up with the Up! 👏🏻👏🏻

Well done! They are an excellent car. Have the 1.0TSI 110 FR Sport. Love it! Economical, responsive and despite 18” wheels, comfortable!

Nice review. Great work.

I’d like to see your thoughts on the bmw 1 series (f40, 2019 to 2024 generation) if possible. looking at one for my next car and I like your reviewing style!

Love to see you review Kia EV3 or new Ford Capri (or whatever they end up calling it) when they are available 😊

"Jeremy Clarkson definitely isn't a supermodel..." 😂😂😂

Since BMW tried to copy Audi with huge kidney grills \ front, the design has tanked imho and I loved my bimmers.

Isn’t it funny how often the critical comments come from default usernames with a string of numbers… For what it’s worth, I think the person who says you shouldn’t add any element of your own opinion is totally wrong. Quite literally almost all car reviewers add their opinion (some much more strongly than you do). If not, it’s basically a cold, spec review without any flair or critique added. They might as well just watch a manufacturer PR video. There is a channel on here that provides such reviews (they’re all really long and factual) but I, and I’m sure most others, watch reviews to get an opinion added in. I’ve watched your channel for over a year now and the quality of your reviews gets better all the time. You definitely deserve more views and subscribers and I hope you get that because you are very consistent, knowledgeable and put a lot of effort in. On top of that, you come across as a decent, friendly person and that goes a long way. Keep going!

How about going a review of the Motability scheme comparing what cars are value for money on the scheme ,30 months ago I paid £399 advance payment for a Hyundai Ioniq at the moment to get a car of the same quality and spec is the Renault Arkana at £1995 advance payment

What a horrible comment from the guy about the T Cross of course your views matter that's what you do on here and all reviewers do that,it's only natural to say what you think of the cars, keep up the good work and I certainly look forward to seeing your reviews

I've got used to different reviewers always talking as though their opinion is actually fact, you never actually do that. Carwow always marks down front seats with an adjuster wheel because they're so much slower than a release leaver, What Car's Doug always marks down the leaver variety because they aren't as finely adjustable as the wheel, and both seem to think they're stating accepted fact rather than merely their preferences. Same with the "Real drivers ALWAYS prefer the manual drivetrain" nonsense, it's just personal bias. I don't think it's worth reading negative comments, but again that's only my opinion. Good upload👍

The new design of the BMW one series is definitely different! Currently I think the X1 is one of the better looking cars that BMW currently makes right now. Your content is interesting and unique to you so keep up the good work! 👍

BMW have ruined the 1 series, inside and out. Bloody awful.

I have a MG ZS for two years. Looking to exchange for this.

I think his voice just broke in the review for real

VW if your listening, Rubber Duckie Yellow, perfect for a convertible.

Would look great in the new t cross colour, rubber duckie yellow.

I am truly lost for words Ford have still put a wetbelt in this new transit absolutely SHOCKING!!!

Rubbish honestly rubbish,wish I still had my 68 plate van.

Just bought this today 🙌 you explained everything perfectly. What a pro 👏🙌💯👌

Great presentation thank you so much

This is the first VW in a long time that I’m genuinely looking forward to see hit the market. The ID2 is exactly what VW needs right now and could have real mass appeal - providing VW get the pricing and small details right. Bringing back physical controls is a great start - nice to see common sense has prevailed at last 👏🏻😂 I really hope VW hit the nail on the head with the ID2, especially with all the new upcoming small EVs from China. It’s reassuring to see VW have a product to fight back with and hopefully bring in some strong sales. You’re right too Sam there’s Beetle, Golf and Up! DNA all there in the ID2. I’d say those are probably three of the greatest VWs of all time so the ID2 is looking good to me 😊

The ID2 is just what VW needs. Looking forward to seeing it in the metal.

Interesting video Sam. I went to see the new Tiguan yesterday at a dealers and I think I prefer the old Tiguan. Maybe it will take time to adjust to the new shape.🙃
