Strange is the folk who believe the MG image knowing it's really Chinese, but somehow the name maintains their fantasy.

Peter Werrett who remembers him

people do more research buying a toaster then buying a car 😂🤣😅

Great video mate. Subbed 🎉

Run for ever no hassle cost peanuts to run what's not to like

Have to say, I don't believe the industry is lying to anyone about where these cars come from. Consumers don't want to know where they come from any more than they want to know about the sweatshops of Bangladesh when they buy their fast fashion items from H&M, etc, or how little tea pickers are paid that produced their cuppa. I have not seen an ad claiming or even suggesting the country of origin on any car in donkey's years. The OEMs use generic descriptor ("BMW - the ultimate driving machine", "Mercedes - the best or nothing", etc.), but those are generic statements that avoid 'country of origin' because it makes marketing internationally cheaper, not because it's a way to con the customer. Now, dealership personnel? That's a whole other matter.

Land Cruisers are quite possibly the best thing that happened to 4X4 SUVs, and among them, 100/ 105 series takes the cake!

I’ve got the 2014 model, it’s a beauty of a motor to be honest!

Merc C Class, BMW 3 series and many Toyota's, Fords and VWs come from South Africa

How come no-one bothered to address John's bull$#*t about EV's envioronmental impact vs petrol, diesel & hybrid? It is about human health and lithium mines are nowhere near as bad as offshore oil rigs. John's vitriol for part 1 can be debunked by checking out out the following (I assume john doesn't do academic papers): Jason @EngineeringExplained did an entertaining whiteboard youtube titled "Are Electric Cars Worse for the Environment? Myth Busted" Matt @UndecidedMF has a video titled "Will EVs Kill the Grid?" @DWPlanetA has a vid "Can You Recycle an Old EV Battery?" P.S. if you are throwing Lithium batteries into garbage trucks please stop. Supermarkets nation-wide have battery collection bins and companies are lining up to take them because they are valuable. EV battery recycling recovers and can re-use 97% of the total material leaving you guessed it, petro-chemical plastics that must get discarded. Read Toyota's papers and not their headlines and take note of all the asterisks. Their scientific method is greatly flawed and testing methodologies are greatly lacking. Toyota doesn't like EV's because they are very good with petrol and sub-standard with EV's. True that EV's won't save the world. Shutup with your EV half-thuths though, you are slowing adoption that is factually less awful for everyone. Otherwise excellent commentary on car industry. All of that was true before taking into account Drive dot com dot au that has an excellect article "Real-world emissions 20 per cent higher than test results claim". Love you guys at ReDriven! John, okay boomer.

Which part of australia is this?

New sub here from John C

Y61 Patrols are still produced, should return them to Australia. Why should foreign military’s, aid organisations and emergency, escort and security services still get the good stuff.

But its traditional to be left on the side of the road in a cloud of smoke going oh noooooo😂😂😂😂

We have 31 cars all MGs several HS Exclusives Auto Manual And Plug ins, all great just odd things are issues example problem with touch screen, they wont order new one and then swap it, they take yours out for repairs and the cars of the road. Local dealer says there is a warranty lead time off three months. Crazy unless you paid over the top from them for a car.

Apprentices dont know how to diagnose without plugging in a laptop.

Is this new? 30 years ago, BMW was building cars in Mexico. In the US, the sticker tells you where the car was assembled, and where most of the parts came from.

Thank you for mentioning the illustrious ford i think its fucktus or ford focus

Get a knew engine that weights a bit more with some more power

My Toyota 4x4 friends crying about my Disco 1 300tdi doing 400,000 km and never breaking down and having no mechanical issues. And they lost transfer boxes and diesel and oil leaks diff wear bearings noise.

😅😅😂 looks like a Kids toy car.

Too many are too nieve to even care what the fuck is going on their own doorstep, let alone the rest of the world! Car companies will only go with what makes money. Common sense does not make them money! Great show guys, keep it going 👍😎

Have both a 2017 Mondeo Trend and a 2017 Mondeo Titanium Love them both, just brilliant cars

Service twice a year or every 10k

A superb review, very comprehensive. I'm tempted! Thank you very much!

Thank you great video.

Nice looking white e24 in the workshop guys.

You guys are so correct yet our polititcians, ignorant and inept media and 14 year old girls from priviliged suburbs will never really get it!

Watching as a saffa, hearing you lads talk about lions being used as incentive, is just too funny in its absurdness (which i get is the joke). Thanks for the laugh. :D Love the content. Keep it up. Love from RSA

You make such beautiful videos😘😘

I'm fuming that my Mitsubishi 380 is made in Australia. WTF!? Ripped off. 😂

I was looking at one on Mother's day. My son recommended it for me as I was looking at something bigger.

Hehehe, I tried to buy a car from a dealer where they offered the car with a used car warranty "valued at 500".......me being a mechanic said no thanks, how about you drop 500 off the price for me? They refused........

I'm confused, is this different to the earlier podcast episode you released with Cadogan? I enjoyed that. Will this chat be released on the podcast?

So agree had 2 new bikes and always took it to a none dealership as i get a far better service and for over half the price and always laugh when ppl go to the dealership

The 20-30 year car is the Land Cruiser. Toyota designs these for 25 year parts use life

I think you’re ignoring people buy EV’s because they don’t want to pay $2++ for fuel. It’s not unreasonable.

OMG! Thank you guys, a team of truth tellers!

0:55 "I am not saying that one country is better at manufacturing than another". FFS mate, we know why you're not saying it. It's 'coz you don't want to get sued. We all know that technical products stuff from China, Mexico, India et al are shite and that the high labour costs of certain countries make their products uncompetitive and so they are out-sourced to cheaper (less well educated, less stringent work forces in) 2nd world countries. Some countries impose huge importation taxes on foreign cars, which can be removed if the car company moves manufacturing to that country. That can work if the labour force is competent, if not, it doesn't.

Not to mention the dreaded fluffer at the car dealership!!! 😂

A man should never cross his legs like the bloke in the middle.

Which engine to buy is an important issue in SUV's - in fact in any car. Buy a proven engine (even if it's older). I am getting on in years now and wanted to move from my medium hatchback to a small/medium SUV. My old Peugeot 308 had the 2L diesel engine. Both mechanics (European specialists) told me to keep with the 2L diesel engine if possible as it was proven in Australian conditions. They told me to avoid the smaller petrol engines. I took their advice and bought a Peugeot 3008GT (HDi 2L diesel) - an ex demo. Huge saving on new and it was optioned up being an ex demo. Great decision. So, look at the car (SUV) but also look at the engine options - it's worth it for the long term.

Really? How many people these days can't Google where is my MG made? Answer: "MG vehicles are designed and developed by SAIC, and manufacturing mainly takes place at SAIC's plants in China. SAIC also produces MG vehicles in Thailand, India and Indonesia for the respective regional markets."

John's a flog I'm out

Seems like the guy is biased and is just trying hard to find fault in everything.

I enjoyed this podcast style video of just some blokes talking about cars, good to have John on too! Keep it up ReDriven you guys are doing a great job.

specific to 2.0 TDI in EU, my experience buying 2nd hand one at 150,000km, CV joints go around 150,000km, glowplugs needed replaced around 170,000km EGR cooler failed around 200,000, dual mass flywheel starts to wear out around 250,000km and needed replaced, adblue pump failed around 270,000. aside from these issues, it's been the best car I've ever owned, loads of space, lovely to drive, motorway cruiser. so far no other issues. You MUST change the 7 speed gearbox oil every 60,000km .

I have a 73 Ford puma 1.5 3-cylinder electronics crap unfortunately its drives noises from wheel bearing and road noise gear change is reminiscent to owning a mark 3 escort 30 years ago i call it a modern day mk 3 escort 😊😊

best drift cars if you know....

I am a bit confused… Fiat being an Italian brand does not mean that the car was made in ITALY and it does not even mean that the chief designer was Italian… The most celebrated Alfa Romeo’s of recent history that kind of brought the brand back to life were design by a Brazilian - Wagner de Souza. He then went on to work for Audi. In Alfa he designed like an Italian and in Audi he designed as a German. Or are we going to say there is such a thing as “Brazilian auto design”? How is the Fiat example anything like the MG example?
