Carbuyer Best Car Awards 2023: the best cars YOU can buy!

[@nomsi4263]

I'm surprised and happy that Skoda is getting attention

[@Happy-Me.]

Toyota all day!

[@Alert64]

Electric cars cannot save you thousands when they cost as much to run as diesel and petrol

[@carbuyer]

They absolutely can if you charge at home. But remember that's only part of the picture; zero VED (road tax), low company car tax, ULEZ/Congestion Charge exemption...

[@paultasker7788]

They cost more to buy but are cheaper to run, and definitely make sense for company cars.

[@MOSSFEEN]

And TWICE as expensive to Purchase RIP OFF

[@MOSSFEEN]

@@carbuyer Thats only if your city living in the UK

[@Paulo-ov4yo]

And include the much higher purchase price, you need deep pockets to buy most of them.

[@GinoFoto]

Cars getting so pricey this year, it's not even funny, we ordered our in march 2022, was delivered at the early summer, since then, same model in exact specs increases its tag by 12%.

[@rahuljayachandran4128]

Yeah true btw which one did you go for?

[@TrueLeadership777]

PHEVs are the way to go as you can run on whatever energy source is the cheapest at the time. Great review guys and I'm glad to see a very unbias comparison.

[@carbuyer]

Thank you!

[@oddities-whatnot]

Mazda CX60 would be a great choice.

[@martinnowak2958]

How can these be 2023 awards if we are still in 2022? 🤨

[@philnox7734]

the best car here is the one with out faults and recalls you never say anything faults take all the plastic of these vehicles you can not go anywhere remember plastic is bad for the planet when I look on Internet for faults with these vehicles they all have faults so how can they be good vehicles

[@theotht]

bro i see a skoda like once every full moon and turns out they are included in some of the best

[@oddities-whatnot]

Skoda are solid reliable cars. Buy one outright and keep it long term is the best way.

[@rahuljayachandran4128]

Lovely video, really enjoyed it😀😀.

[@carbuyer]

So glad! Thanks.

[@HiCZoK]

Wow kia niro winning HEV category over toyota !??!!! Amazing. I am happy to have it ordered !

[@oddities-whatnot]

Well I dont normally take much notice of these sort of “best of” car category videos but have to say I agree with a lot of it, except the electric cars as they are still not practical enough for most people and wont be any good until they develop a new power source which I believe Toyota is doing. Glad to see Skodas, the Fabia DSG is actually the top car on my list as my next car soon as a very long term cash buy. Im used to AWD but dont really need one most of the time.

[@JamesSmith-qs4hx]

I'd buy a proper car, not an EV.

[@reginaldamoah8608]

Is the Nissan Arya better than the Kia EV6? Possibly the interior maybe? If the Sportage had an electric option I reckon it would have pipped it's little brother Niro and possibly cousin Tucson as well.

[@carbuyer]

The Ariya is a more practical car and better serves the 'Best Large Electric Car' category. Don't get us wrong, there's plenty to like about the Kia EV6 - we're big fans!

[@johnwhite2143]

Any of the nice looking electric cars like Kia ev6 or Mustang Mach e are expensive to buy 47 grand upwards, any affordable ones look rubbish or like something your gran would drive that I wouldn't want get seen in, like Renault Zoe or nissan leaf lol, I happily stick with petrol cars for now till electric cars are more affordable, the new mg4 electric car looks good , so for me would be worth considering as it starts at 25995 brand new an it looks similar to the cupra born which is 35 grand 🤔

[@auchen888dolly8]

Wish this was not during work 😢

[@carbuyer]

Don't worry, you can watch it back later!

[@mkkravist11]

When your best car of the year is a Kia Niro, you know you’re in trouble. What a staggering lack of imagination and romance. There are so many better cars out there than that. This channel is for librarians and social workers. Anyone else will fall asleep with this list.

[@carbuyer]

We're intrigued, what would you have picked?

[@oddities-whatnot]

The Niro is not very reliable.

[@SemBeikes]

I'm missing the Honda Civic 2007

[@carbuyer]

Dammit, knew there was one car we forgot!

[@SemBeikes]

@@carbuyer Well atleast i'm missing it! ;)

[@joe80ss]

Yes new Kia Niro has made the cut. 👏

[@carbuyer]

It's a hat trick!

[@SoerenThorsen1972]

A topless Mini is a better topless car than the Porsche 718??? I somehow doubt that..

[@carbuyer]

When it comes to value for money, absolutely. It's 99% as fun, and it can seat four. Cheaper to buy/run too...

[@gandalfstormcrow2486]

Seriously, I can't even watch. We can't buy any of those.

[@pyk8075]

Hyundai and Volkswagen group won majority of the awards lolol

[@carbuyer]

Both are making some incredible cars right now!

[@bdeithrick]

MG4 wins all them categories

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video 😊

[@carbuyer]

Thanks Jamie!

[@uk805]

This video sponsored by KIA😂

[@carbuyer]

Why? Because the Niro won? What about the three Skodas? Or the BMWs, Nissans, MGs, Lexus... SsangYong?

[@willsbrewery3518]

Mg4

[@carbuyer]

MG4 was a bit too late to the party for consideration in this year's awards. Bring on 2024!

[@RobG001]

Car awards, seems more like SUV awards

[@carbuyer]

These are the cars people buy! And for good reason - they're often more practical and easier to live with than conventional saloon or hatchback cars.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Yes and it’s funny how we all managed perfectly well before these SUV and silly crossover segments appeared. They are fashion cars, nothing more.

[@HiCZoK]

@@oddities-whatnot They are comfort cars. To go around city, go shopping and take people. Look at new Civic. It's doing ALL the same stuff as any suv does. big hatch and all but you sit very low in it like in the 90s car. I would love to have the civic but I know I will get tired of crawling inside it

[@paulbown57]

WTF! BMW 220D wins best sports car category! Slightly clutching at straws what cars you could actually get hold of I think!

[@carbuyer]

It's the 2 Series as a model that wins Best Sports Car, rather than the 220d specifically.

[@dfdmcb]

not one for the Sportage??? wow

[@carbuyer]

The Tucson just pips it for standard kit. Our overall Car of the Year last year still comes out on top!

[@mikeyboy200606]

I think Kia/Hyundai, VAG and BMW must have told them don't give us some good press we won't pay for you to fly first class to luxury places. I use to love it when they had loads of variety of Makes it all seems to be fake and all about who pays the most sponsorships.

[@carbuyer]

It's a shame we need to respond to messages like this, but to clarify: our content is 100% independent. No sponsorship - for our reviews, or our awards. The fact is, these manufacturers are making fantastic cars right now and others are playing catch-up. The market could look quite different in 12 months time - something we're super excited to see!

[@toothlesstherussain]

That's rubbish mate if you disagree.

[@evilmario6061]

First car somehow isn't the Dacia Sandero

[@GinoFoto]

The problem is that since the overall prices are ballooning, Dacia is also somewhat expensive right now, the target audience can not longer afford these cars, as chasing used ones, or even stick with the current vehicles, and other people just go for more established brands.

[@evilmario6061]

@@GinoFoto true, time for Dacia to offer 0% or 1.9% (like Toyota) finance! I'd consider any of the Dacia models for my future family without the 6.9% APR

[@_spideypunk_2077]

Who is here because of Mat 😂

[@andrewlam426]

Golf❤

[@siddharthchunduri659]

Seriously an MG??

[@nativesystems]

These awards sponsored by VAG and BMW ?

[@carbuyer]

With a Kia winning overall CotY? That doesn't make much sense...

[@abymathew295]

Is it illegal to drive cars in Track mode on the road ..🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. A guy got his registration suspended for just that on his Elantra N...🤔🤔🤔

Hmm… Honda Civic is hot hatch more than Hyundai.

[@carbuyer]

No one in the UK has driven the new Honda Civic Type R yet!

[@GhandouriMahdi-l3s]

Too much Skoda on öne video

[@luzi328]

Men’s wear trousers, boys shorts

[@mafiooato7233]

My Kia ev6 gt line will smoke all this cars.i did not buy it for the environment. On the road,only tesla and supercars,I worry about. Please to all,stick to the road speed, not above road speed.please if you want to drive fast, take your car to a car rally place to drive.thank you all.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@rutube007]

They seem to always pick the ugliest looking cars as car of the year.

[@garymac7075]

Who is this guy !!! Don't like !! Electric cars rubbish!!

[@carbuyer]

This is Rich and he loves EVs!

[@Andy-zi1wj]

Where's the Mg4 better value than all the electric cars

[@paultasker7788]

probably too new to feature here

[@carbuyer]

Indeed - MG 4 will be in the running next year!

[@michaelarcher6278]

Basically the usual suspects, except you actually choose a Nissan 😱, shock horror, I suppose that's progress 🤣

[@speedandpowah1620]

And the Kia will take the award and give it to kodiaq

[@matsjohansson5664]

skip the ice-car's only one ev. Are you crazy!

[@carbuyer]

One EV? There are three electric-car categories, plus both of the company cars are EVs...

[@duncanidaho7494]

Kia ? Haha. I disagree.

[@carbuyer]

What would you have chosen?

[@duncanidaho7494]

@@carbuyer the i4

[@glennchinyangarara8225]

Peugeot 208 over Skoda Fabia for me

[@carbuyer]

We love the 208, but the Skoda Fabia is a more appealing package. It offers family car (VW Golf, Peugeot 308, Vauxhall Astra) space, for supermini money. It's fantastic value.

[@glennchinyangarara8225]

@@carbuyerhow about in other areas? Interior, exterior, driving experience

[@oddities-whatnot]

The 208 has cheap looking styling, those gloss wheel arch trims are pretentious for starters. French fashion car, most keep them three years and trade it in for something else. Nobody buys one for long term ownership. So much waste globally with this way of thinking.

[@waleedkhan7623]

I don’t agree with any of these my friends !! All Kia and Skoda

[@carbuyer]

What would you have picked?

[@lozmorgan7373]

Unaffordable rubbish

[@oddities-whatnot]

Unaffordable ? All depends on how much money people have. I had finance for years but will be buying one outright next to keep it long term.

[@ChelseaFCMario]

All dead cars 😂

[@VatsalSingh007]

Not sure why Tesla did not end up in the list.

[@mkkravist11]

Poor build quality; overpriced, boring?

[@carbuyer]

If you're referring to the Model 3, then that's because the BMW i4 is the better car and a more appealing package. Simple as that.

[@mikeyboy200606]

Tesla are garbage

[@HadrianTAZ]

Horrible list of cars. KIA cars are horrible, pile of rubbish.

[@muffindell]

Kia have better than German fit and finish, better reliability, much longer warranty and lower purchase price

[@Ross01111]

2023 - the year of the ugliest cars ever made.

[@paultasker7788]

A coupe has to look good. Why else get one and sacrifice practicality? Did anyone tell the 2 series? I thought the 4 series was contraversial.

[@picardlouis2653]

eeeeeeeee

[@rajindernijjer]

Don't buy Kia and hyandai they got serious realiablity problems.

[@MOSSFEEN]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GinoFoto]

@Raj Nijjer I'm sorry for yours maybe unfortunate experience, though we had Hyundai i30 for 13 years, bought as used with questionable history, and yeah, that car was reliable like stone, as just nothing major went wrong for all those years.

[@rajindernijjer]

@@GinoFoto alot people don't notice anything wrong especially women or men who know nothing about cars

[@naorl8866]

Definitely not true. they actually reliable like any other Japanese cars and surly more reliable then European cars

[@TorstenBioMedic]

We are on our third Kia and they have been absolutely brilliant, and a 7 year warranty.
