My gear box was great! So smooth.

The Siera was HORRIBLE. It was all over the place , couldn't corner, way too heavy and slowwwww. I had a 2L Siera, hated it.

Love that car, makes me miss it all over again. Mine was 25 years old when i reluctantly sold it in 2005. It was so much fun to drive and it would be brilliant to drive one again. This was my third Cavalier. just saw i already commented lol

My first car was an H reg MK3 SRi - inherited from my dad when he bought himself an Impreza WRX. Loved it! Fast enough to have fun as a young driver without being too silly. Eventually rust in the chassis claimed it, and I was sad to see it go.

Love my banger

This guy's completed part 1 of being a man? I highly doubt that LOL

I own one with satnav and I think its really cool, you can get a disc from main dealer to update the maps so they work with current road layouts and it looks really retro and nice

What a pair of tossers we have had one for year's

Great review please can you do some SUV' reviews 👍

😂😂😂 great video

What a forgotten crock! 🤘

My family has had one of these for 18 years now. Unfortunately showing its age now but it was very good to us down through the years. Bought 2nd hand in 2006. We went on many the holiday, birthday party and other things with it. Although it's a big car, ours is only the 1.6 njoy version so it's not really the fastest thing around and for sure could do with a few extra horses at times when hauling stuff

Had one of these 2ltr Sri 8 valve . Quick enough

Anyone else here for the OG Gran Turismo starter car hate comments?

It's quite funny that they did that offset thing because the B3E motor was a pretty inefficient little lump, even for the era. 38mpg if you were lucky and 178g/km emissions compared the Yaris or Fiesta of the time that were under 150, or even the Polo with it's much better 1.4l engine that was still only 160. Of course people didn't really know what those numbers meant back then because it wasn't a tax metric and there was no ULEZ so it probably makes sense, from a marketing standpoint, to do something tangible like "5 oak trees". Anyway, another great video and the outlasting a tree bit made me laugh. Shame about the B-roll, would've been funny to watch you scramble into the bed mode.

Love Your Videos! always excited when a new one comes out

Looks like a fun car

If there is one thing this guy is doing right, it's finding the most bizzare car models that have been seemingly forgotten about.

Great to see another car review

Ford used zero underseal on these cars my mom had a brand new one washed and polished bright yellow sat under a carport still Rotted out

Me mom got a last model KA 1 bought to her bright yellow black interior white dials EW and a 1300cc engine and I loved driving it.. Was really surprised tbh

Hi Matty, Will we see you at Nec 8-10th November ?

Color that gives nfs carbon vibes

Excellent Work, Mr Manning! Thank you for letting me film some of your cars over the years.

Oh, Mr Manning, I want to buy that hold music on CD!

Congrats on 10 years mate. I can relate to you with the school experience, cars just weren't really cool. Dunno if its because most people don't get into cars until they're old enough to drive, but I didn't know anyone else who was mad about them like I was. And then I was doubly f**ked because I was into computers too. It's a great way to run the channel - create content that you enjoy making and don't feel the pressure that Al Gorithm seems to pile on most car KZbinrs to constantly blast out endless content, turning it into a job rather than the fun thing one used to do in their spare time. I can say I'm a fan of yours because of the writing and humour so you're spot on there as far as I'm concerned. Cheers and here's to the next 10.

I miss the podcasts but quite understand why you stopped them. They were at their best when you had a guest which somehow smoothed the content between the two regulars.😅

I completely understand where you are coming from I'm exactly like you I have always enjoyed car shows on tv like the old deals on wheels, top gear, and wheeler dealers plus watching how cars are designed and manufactured in car factory's and alot of people though I was weird my dad thinks I'm boring and as I suffer from anxiety issues it helps me relax and come down have you tried Rover reviews like the 200 R8, 75 keep up the hard work well done and remember there are lots of people like you and me that share the same thoughts.

You earned this like and comment, car also!

"I don't know why I opened that" is very Partridge. Lovely stuff.

Good car, I'm driving it until today

My first car was low mileage with full service history, but because I got it from a town called Oadby, which is like Bradford for posh people, it blew its head gasket two years into my ownership. The current one’s doing much better, probably because I got it from Cheshire and it spent a few of its time living around Harrogate.

“That’s why I advertise my cars outside Buckingham Palace” 🤣

Brilliant. You probably can’t call Lexus because the car magically serviced itself when you weren’t looking. 😂

No mate, my Range Rover is at 169k no high risk, trust me i've only broke down a few times in the past two weeks.

Enjoyed the review..I have a 23 year old Daihatsu Terios which I have used virtually every day for the last 2 and a 1/2 years especially for my window cleaning round... About the only thing I had to replace is a drive belt and a wrong sized battery on the car ... other wise it has saved me from handing over bucket loads of cash to some garage as it works everyday and seems virtually indestructible...🚗..😉

Spot on analysis actually, just got one of these it's brilliant!

You haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about sunshine.

Had a mk 2 SRI 130 saloon for 4 years and it was found to be much quicker as 2nd gear hit 65 mph so 0to60 7.2 seconds stock. After I finished it was much quicker. Big regrett selling it. 😢

Passat B7 (the car that has a similar design) was on the market in 2011. Phaeton launched in 2002 and is basically the same car, even with the facelifts (until 2016). So the Passat looks like the Phaeton not the other way around! (Yeah, I know, nobody cares but keep in mind this car is 22 years old) I have driven the S class, Audi A8, BMW 7 series and Porsche Panamera, all cars have ups and downs, it's only a matter of taste in what car you would choose in this segment, anyway, if you are looking for PURE COMFORT, only the S class can offer something similar with the Phaeton. This car is just like Alladin's magic carpet, it's like driving a cloud. It is very heavy, it's massive, it has a STEEL frame, not an aluminium as the A8, so the comfort and interior insonorisation is far superior. If you drive it on a long trip you will realise this car is just a cheaper variant of a Bentley but actually Bentley is just a more expensive variant of a Phaeton, it has the same dashboard, gauges, leather and so on as the Flying Spur that was 3 times more expensive. It's not just me who realised this, just watch this video and you will find out that Piech wanted to build the BEST CAR IN THE WORLD: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3yumqSfl7SrpcU BTW you mentioned Jaguar XK, I think you meant XJ but anyway, Jeremy Clarkson said that he would choose the Phaeton instead and I agree, the materials are fare more PREMIUM in the Phaeton and it feels much more expensive. The only problem of this car was the badge and the maintanance which is as expensive as a Bentley, especially if you choose the 6.0 W12 engine. Choose the V6 TDI and you will have the same costs as a Touareg. Cheers! ;)

good morning sorry to bother you I also have a Citroen Saxo but without speakers is there a difference between the front and rear ones or are they the same?

Great video. I love your delivery, the level of history and detail, and your dead-pan humour. Only complaint is that the sound level is a bit inconsistent, especially when you switch positions. Just need to monitor the waveform when editing I think.

You mentioned that the Phaeton came with a V10. That is true, but why not mention the W12? As if thats not the most awesome one :D Nice video, but watch out for the sound

I've bought a 2008 Phaeton V8 last year. Best car I've ever had. If the car is clean and if you're in touch with a very, very good and well equiped mechanic, go for it.

Uneven volume level inside the video is slightly annoying. Isn't there a filter in your video program to equalize the volume in the entire video? Camera angle inside the car is not optimal. Room for improvement?

Nice review mate 👌🏻 I used to never be able to pronounce the name of this car until a few years ago. Not sure why 🤣 nice car inside

Could only afford the 1. 8 carb version to expensive for me to insure at 22 yrs old. I did mine up exactly like a red saloon SRI boot spoiler and col coded the bumpers and wheel trims and decals looked identical. Always mind saying if it gets robbed the theif will be let down as they'll realise its a shitty 1. 8 carb and not 2.0 Sri injection lol
