Buying my SECRET famous friend a car!

Mat is teaming up with England rugby legend James Haskell to help him buy a new electric car!
James recently bought a Land Rover Defender 90, but now he’s had a child he’s realised it's not as practical as he was hoping, so he’s going to sell it and swap it for an electric car!
The question is, which car is right for him? Well, Mat has brought together a choice of four electric cars, and he’s going to run through their looks, interiors and what they’re like to drive so James can choose which is his favourite!
The cars we’ve got on show are a Skoda Enyaq, Nissan Ariya, Kia EV6, and Tesla Model Y, as these all cost around the same as what we would expect the Defender 90 to sell for.
However, the choice doesn’t stop there… In case James is willing to spend a little more, we’ve also brought in a Porsche Taycan & BMW iX M60!
The question is, which will he choose? And more importantly, do you think these are the best 6 electric cars around, or should we have added another one to this video? Let us know in the comments!

[@scottmccann4509]

As much as i love the standard review pattern, i do enjoy him mixing it up with a "guest". I enjoyed when mum was on the show but maybe this could be a regular sketch converting people to electric?? Although maybe a bit more real world testing would be good

[@douchebag_extradorinaire]

I was just coming to say this exact thing. Matt has a wealth of knowledge and having someone out of the industry to just be a counterpoint is perfect

[@chartreux1532]

100% agree! Would love to see more Videos like the" 3 Cheap SUVs for 2000 Euro"s Video but also this, mixing it up a little. I also really enjoy Mat'sVideos where he drove to Mainland Europe to drop off, pick up a Car or visit some Event. Like when he picked up the BMW 850i. I'm also sure i'm not the only one who would enjoy you seeing do Reviews of older Cars and not just the Newest Ones! And if Mat is ever around Munich and wants to review a Wiesmann GT MF5, and old Maybach 62s or an Artega GT (among some other Cars) that all can be arranged. Lots of our Supercar Owners Club Members are Fans of carwow and would definitely let you drive and review as well as stick of truth them. Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
