Glad we could help, BTW, bored in Chinese is Wuliao de.

I think the active noise canceling feature is just an inbuilt system to reduce road noise

In fairness, he has no idea about life in general

Great question, but the answer lies in the badge. The drive. The feel. And of course, personal preference.

Totally agree, we really like it. Let us know how you get on with yours.

Thanks, appreciate the correction. Assumed it was due to the boost function

@@TarmacLife No problems. My wife's M135 goes into production at the end of this month (getting it in a BMW individual colour Velvet Orchid II Metallic), so can't wait to take delivery in May / Jun 25.

@jockmarshall7601 you'll love it, appreciate the feedback

old 118 is now 120 and 120 is the mild hybrid

@@ismeto-j9y It is still the 118 in Australia.

It's really sharp

I bet it looks even better in person

There's a lot going on with the lamps, get the gearbox point, but the exhaust sound (although piped in) offers a great sense of drama and it handles the weight well.

We really like it

It's the lights

@@TarmacLife The whole front end.

@@simonh870 in reality its pretty.anyway appearance its secondary.the important is how the car react on the road

@@egokapoios As an owner of an M140i I am not a massive fan of how it drives either. Engine isn't as good, gearbox not as good and no RWD. I get that it is more useable, but then so are all of the competitors such as the S3 and Golf R. It has nothing unique now.

Thanks forbthe support, really appreciate it. They're all good but the Omoda was our pick too

Yeah, we can see that. Similar to gti too

Pleasure. Great car.

In fainess, it was all over by then

True

Thanks for watching and comments, always good to hear from owners. It's a great suv, let us know how you get on with it

True, and not light either, but a great alternative if you're in that market

Thanks for watching and the comments. With regards to the seats, hard to say as Dave isn't 6ft. Overall it's a comfortable vehicle but suggest you test drive to be more specific for you.

Agreed, hope this helps

Thanks for your comment. Dave is old and British and as such holds on to the names of his youth. Despite MG being revived by the Chinese, don't you think it's good that these old iconic names continue? Maybe further generations may take the time to look up images of the old MG's on the roadside with their bonnets up - love nostalgia and love these names to continue - regardless of whom takes them on.

Can't really argue - but still a nice new rendition

"wet cambelts," are integral components found in modern vehicle engines, responsible for synchronising the top and bottom components of the engine

needs 800V? None of its rivals has 800V to offer.

Get your points but the 'goods' far outweigh the bad

@Harhawink So is that a reason to rule it out? If KIA want to compete, they need to include as many features as are possible. If the EV9 and Ioniq5 etc can charge at 800v there should be no reason not to include it on the other cars produced by the group.

@ this is a cost thing. EV9 and also EV6 are pretty expensive cars. EV5 comes from a different angle. It is supposed to be fairly affordable large family car. Not everyone drives long distances and even still EV5 will be performing amazingly. EV9 and EV9 charging speeds are on par with Porsche. Cars that cost double or tripple the price of a Kia. Sharing same oroginal Rimac tech.

@@Harhawink It wouldn't cost them that much to add 800V architecture. It is bigger than the EV6 after all, and that has it.

Fair, our other reviews go into the interiors in depth

Sorry we can't be of help there. Our cars in New Zealand tend to come highly specced as a general rule. Good luck for your review!

As Matt says below

No idea, chat with your local dealer, it's worth asking for

@michaeljohnevangelista9158 it won't be,north America has its own HRV that's based on the civic if im not mistaken

@@jxsse999 the car sold in North America as the HR-V is what the rest of us know as the ZR-V. Different car altogether.

@peterneale6278 yep but that still means North America doesn't get what yall call the hrv,I'm from trinidad so we also get the UK variant,I was unaware of the Z-RV though,pretty cool!

No idea, please contact yout local dealer

@TarmacLife Thank you sir. Because I like car Honda technology lot

It's certainly odd. But it will hold your phone

@@TarmacLife lol. True I definitely prefer a full centre/front Console

We like the ev3 too

Haha

Overall, all build quality has improved dramatically from China

129 HP and 253 newts

We drive on all terrains

We're an NZ based operation so use the local info

You're an eagle eyed viewer! Sure is an Oris Kermit. Have had it for just over a year, you'll see it in a number of our other videos 🐸 Thanks for your comment!

As below (well spotted)

We haven't been told anything yet either

@@TarmacLife And yet there are some KZbin clips entitled 2025 LBX with zero visible changes except for that lovely Morizo power edition teaser...

@@alecmally5433 2025 Could just be the year that the model is listed by local distributor. We reviewed the Morizo RR - here's our thoughts www.tarmaclife.co.nz/lexus-reviews-new-zealand/morizos-favourite-lexus-lbx-morizo-rr-road-and-track-drive/

Yep

Unfortunately not

We get your point but the V8 will become less and less across all brands we fear

Oh how much did you guys get from Mercedes for this this video ? The reality off it is that in the uk I have not seen one off these on the road so that says to me that these are not selling as no one wants to spend 100k on a 4 cylinder 2ltr

@@bradleylane8377 Have you driven one?

Nope but if they was that good then they would be selling not seen one on the roads

@@bradleylane8377 Of course you have a point, but (as with the Mustang 2.3) the lighter 4-cylinder is the better car, but the heritage V8 owners won't like it. Maybe this is too soon, but all signs point to the V8 becoming a thing of the past (like it or not)
