Shit car. Uncomfortable, underpowered. Those would not be an issue if that piece of junk would not rust from the wheel arches and doors. Unforgivable for a 7 year old car.

I see this model is a manual gearbox. I've seen lots of posts regarding complaint about synchromesh problems, expensive to repair, and in colder weather some people have stated the gears can crunch and grind, and become difficult to engage. How's your experience with the manual box? My wife has a Hyundai i10 right now (I hate them) and she wants manual, automatics are not good for her. Thanks.

Hi Neal, I have booked this hotel for next year. This year we were on Playa Del Ingles and all the hotels had entertainment in the pool area all night long which was very annoying for us. How is the situation there? Is there also this party animation every day? I hope not but maybe you know better. Thanks for the very nice video
@midlifemotors5050
@midlifemotors5050 7 күн бұрын
The entertainment is off the main reception so if you’ve a room overlooking that it could be a bit of a pain. Usually over by 10ish IIRC. We were miles away from reception and all the restaurants which was great, nice and quiet. I’d definitely request the same room when we go back. Enjoy 👍 A bit jealous tbh 😉

Lovely Vids! Really enjoying your MX5 stuff - I have an NC - So slightly older than yours, but it doesn't get used much - Only about 400 miles a year! - I walk a lot!!! Anyway, Ive dropped you a sub - Cheers 👍 I agree with you about the seats though - I hate it when the garage moves my seat! 👍

My wife has owned a 2014 auto 1.3 Yaris for 18 months and it's just on 21,000 miles, and It does have cruise control and satnav. She bought it to replace an IQ because the Yaris offers a much better ride, especially on our broken British roads. It has a good sized boot and, when necessary you can carry two adults in the rear. I'm 6' 4" and found both the IQ and Yaris very comfortable no matter how long the journey, and I find myself using my wife's car more than my RAV4. The only real niggle she's had has been a leaking aircon condenser which was picked up at the last service and replaced. Having it serviced at Toyota meant that it received a 12-month warranty each time (up to 10-years-old or 100K miles). The car is now just 10-years-old and so this was the final year she received the Toyota warranty. The annual mileage is always quite low so now she probably only needs it servicing every two years, which I can do myself or take to our local garage for around £120. Also, the road tax on the Yaris is only £35 per year, which is a terrific saving. It may not be as trendy or as good looking as a Fiat 500 or Alfa Mito but there seem to be more Yarises on the road than any other car, so they must be pretty bulletproof. I do like the styling of my wife's one more than the latest Yaris models but reliability was the main factor when choosing the car.

I have this car and a 2023 car with all the modern gadgets and huge iPad thing that you used to control most functions. I way prefer buttons and knobs. I like the gauges and the needles and the feeling of a car with a little more analogue. Mine is the SLC 43 which to most intents and purposes is the same other than you get a reversing camera. Although it has aged, I still love to be in this car.

This is a really a good ownership review. There are a few youtubers who just give 6 months ownership review of a car just to highlight the comfort and technology. Ownership review video should also include maintanence, quality and any parts replacement for car. Really good honest car review and a good reference video for anyone who is planning to buy a used Evoque.

Where or what brand is that guard on the rear bumper top? Im looking for something that fits my 2017. The parts site has these for MK2s and also has some for Mk3s up to 2014 or 15 and it says that they wont fit my 2017. I thinkkkkkk It could be an error or an overlooked update or something. I could be wrong though. My hunch is that it will probably fit. Or I can find one on amazon not from Toyota. Dunno. Cheers!

Usually the features that you cannot permanently turn off is to comply with whatever accreditation. Like the annoying roadside 'assistance' that reads speed limit signs and beeps at you incessantly when you exceed what it thinks is the speed limit, which works half the time a quarter of the time. Safety features, like the Lane Keeping Assist that tug at the steering wheel, that I cannot disable permanently. Or emissions (stop starts are rarely allowed to be turned off completely, in any car). Modern cars, hey. I have a Corolla TS 2023, hybrid 2.0L, mid-range trim. Yes, it's very dark inside, and the car is 'soporific', in that it's very relaxed, and not really geared towards performance, even the 2.0L 193 bhp version. Otherwise, it's great car, fuel consumption is around 4L in city, 4.5L country roads, 5L highway, 6L motorway. Only one USB port (come on Toyota, it's 2024).

Acceptable as an alternative to the Astra and Focus, but a manual petrol 1.2 Corolla estates are hen teeth stuff. Some earlier Auris badged model are slightly easier to find. I drove a hutch version as a loan car when my Avensis was serviced and liked it. My Avensis 1.8 Tourer manual is also 1.4 tonnes (but bigger) and has a similar comfort level. Still, at 289,000 miles, I am looking for a suitable and similar Toyota rig, i.e. none, hybrid, manual estate. To say it's hard to find is an understatement. 😮
