thanks for the watching and thank you for the follow.

@@lindokuhleshandu4024 it depends on which model you choose. Currently there are a list of special offers on them. Possibly check out Suzuki’s SA website which have a very detailed breakdown available

That's awesome, here's to many happy miles in your new car.

@@callisto7269 sadly the Skoda brand has not been for sale in South Africa. Seat, the other brand was for a few years, but that also is no longer available here.

@@LukeElston-x7u that is correct I saw it last year while in New Delhi, launched around the same time here.

It's exported from India

​@@tyronepaulsen but it's base trim comes with that 1.0L TSI and GT trims come with a much more powerful 1.5L TSI that also comes in the Jetta

@@hritamnath4919 here we have the option in the base trim levels, a 1.6-liter NA engine, producing 81kW & the 1.0 TSi mentioned in the video.

@@LakheKamvalakhethanks for watching and your comments are 100% valid

@@MOCKEA1 I like Smarty’s

@@borismkhwanazi583 yes that is probably the only negative side

@@borismkhwanazi583 in actual fact it’s not, its between R100 -R140k less than a Tiguan and a Kia Sportage. With all that said though, cars are generally expensive.

thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback

dankie ou maat

Not sure what the situation is like for New Zealand, in South Africa Chery has setup quiet and extensive distribution and servicing network. If that is anything to go by and with the contact we have had with Chery International, I think they would have a similar setup. Thanks for watching

I think I might give it a bash, any suggestions....LOL

thank you for watching

Thank you for watching

Thanks for sharing!

@@manuatxurra0819 thanks for watching

@@haydenisaacs thank you sir, you should get one, would match the V-Classes.

Thank you for your comment and watching the video, the gvw (gross vehicle weight) is 1480kg with the kerb weight at 1010kg. The figure I quoted is with it being loaded with 4 passengers, a full tank of fuel and luggage, but as you correctly mentioned, I should have said its kerb weight is 1010kg. Usually, when figures are quoted for efficiency and power to weight ratio is quoted they are using the kerb weight, but we know in real life there are people and fuel in the car, which means added weight. Hence me using the Gross Vehicle Weight figure in my statement and why the fuel economy is usually not the same as the claimed figures etc. I hope that answers your comment.

​@@tyronepaulsen is the USA and here In the UK people often exceed the GVW. I'm the lightest in my family at 90kg but together all 4 of us weigh 425 kg you add luggage and suddenly you're talking 500 + kg however the family car (Hyundai Ioniq 38kwh) has around the same load limit as this car and seems to cope fine ! (my Toyota Yaris hybrid struggles a little bit but has a 340kg limit) I think manufacturers "play it safe" in regards to weight limits especially with SUV's as they might be taken off road where the suspension will have to work harder ! I've heard the metal is thin on this car and very easy to dent, can you confirm this ?

Thanks for the comment, I don’t understand though.

@@tracy062 Really, I actually loved it in this Takumi edition, honestly was one of my favorite cars to drive so far in 2024

In reality it is the main thing they addressed, particularly rear suspensions got changed to make it less floaty and more composed on bumpy roads and the automatic gear logic now makes sense. Still it is a stiffer drive compared to competitors (seems similar to previous versions of BMW X3 without adaptive suspensions in my opinion) but i think that this is mostly by design so you won’t get Lexus plushness from the CX60 if that is what you are searching for. A current model BMW X3 is for sure a more engaging and well rounded car, no doubts, but there is a case to be made that you will pay much more with the same equipment. It was a shame for Mazda that they clearly released an unfinished product at the beginning and they corrected its flaws only afterward but I fear that, like in software, this is the direction manufacturers are going… release a beta product, make the customers pay for it and then update it later (possibly over the air).

@@ravenguard1495 thanks for the comments, very insightful and appreciated

I actually really like it. Just bought mine. I am in love.

@@KR-xn8xr HI, this is a lot more refined its more SUV like then the Raptor Off-Road setup. Including the extra sound insulation and the seats make it a very good experience

@@KR-xn8xr hi if memory serves me right it was code orange, however I had a Sedona orange before it and it was my favorite.

thanks for the compliment and thank you for watching

​@tyronepaulsen love your review style, keep it up. Flawless 🎉

But you guys get the CX 90, which sadly we won't get here in South Africa, thanks for watching.

@@tyronepaulsen The CX90 is too large for my needs, thus, I bought a 2023 Mazda CX50 almost two years ago

@@eleanormassaro5195 wow that's still a nice car, another one we would like to see in South Africa.

@@borismkhwanazi583 over a million rand for a car is lot of money, but if you compare this car to many others, this is actually quite a deal

@@LehloSeemela I tend to disagree you forget the Mazda 3 MPS, the MX6, the 6 MPS and let’s not forget the RX-7

@@tyronepaulsen and where are those models now? For our market?

@@LehloSeemela​​⁠they’re still available on the second hand market though. 😊😊😊 but sadly no “performance cars” at present, who knows what’s next for them. I did see some interesting concepts at the Shanghai Motorshow earlier this year.

You need to give yourself time to work a little harder so that you can buy the BMW that you really want. While you're hard working, allow Mazda to sell it's cars without your negative comments when you can't afford it in the first place.

Thank you for watching, yes it’s a really good car

I agree with you, people made fun of me years back when I owned a Mazda 2, but that little car was awesome. Thanks for watching

Hi, thanks for your comment, are you referring to from take off or going up quite a long hill with a steep incline?

@tyronepaulsen both would have been good, actually!

hi, thank you for watching, sadly not its only available on the GLX version, it looks great with the full bar, however it even looks good without it. I think maybe I should start including the light designs in my next few videos. Thank you for the idea.

@@tyronepaulsen Thanks for the reply. actually i booked GL variant without knowing this...waiting for delivery...:).... the car looks great without it also....:)

It really is a good color for this car and with the black roof it’s even nicer

thanks for the comment, sadly we don't have access to any Tesla products in South Africa yet, but from many of my peers they seem to be very popular. I hope you get the EX30, it really is a fun little car, even though its not so little.

Yeah, they also own many other brands, like Polestar, Lynk & Co, Lotus etc, and they're doing some amazing work with all their products. Thanks for your comments

Hi Martin, thank you for the comment, I'm so glad you're enjoying this car, it was a pleasure to drive. Yes I did, it was super fun, however I mostly drove it in "comfort mode", as I wanted to experience it as a daily driver & it was really good. Really need to win the lotto now.

Yeah, it’s a great daily driver when not ripping and tearing in performance mode. Ps - I’ve just subscribed :)

@@GerriePretorius-b8f thank you Gerrie for watching and your comments and it was addressed in the next videos.

😂😂😂

thank you for watching the video, I hope whatever decision you make, that you have many happy kilometres in your new car.

Very true, non-turbo will last a very ...very long time hassle free.
