For anyone wondering why 4 seats - its because the retarded ADR’s (and I’m guessing applies to NZ too) require any seat in a car to have a top tether point (or something like that). Therefore, as the middle seat doesnt have one, honda just never bothered to give it a seatbelt. Also, 127kw is completely wrong - the motor has 96kw. No idea where youre getting that number from. Great video otherwise.

@@TarmacLife That's true! What about Citroen SM then, or BX 4TC (Though that one was more of a disaster :D). Could also count Xsara VTS (167 HP in a lightweight and swift chassis), and overall VTS editions of their smaller cars. So yes, in the past Citroen offered more sporty spirit of their constructions, even tried their luck in rally, just later it was abandoned completely and brand dwell into boredom. Thankfully recently their cars became more "Citroenish" once more, like presented C4! Thank you for the nice video :)

I drove the new petrol ZS and going just a couple of kph over the limit it started making a bonging alert. You could disable this speed limit warning chime through the menus, but after restarting the car it reset it. Did you experience this? Great car but this puts me off.
@TarmacLife6 күн бұрын
Yeah, it's all part of ANCAP safety. So speed limits will ping, and yes it will reset each time. I think you can use one of the short cut buttons on the steering wheel to get to the menu.

His point, give me a break. This is his point: “I’m clever because I’ve watched one of the ten thousand reviews on this car, every one of which makes clear that the V6 is the Toyota 2GR and 4 is from Merc”. His point is to look clever telling everyone what they already know. The only thing missing is a very funny joke about what L.o.t.u.s stands for.

Thanks, appreciate the support. As for the DCT it's great for a sporty drive, however, found that to engage drive or reverse took a couple of pushes (not ideal for a 3-point turn) and wouldn't shift down 2 gears with a double tap, so feel that a manual option would be more of a driver's car.
