At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

[@akar2755]

A Patrol or 200/300 Landcruiser would be likely decent alternative to G63. Definitely not the engine, but for the class and vibe overall. Just look at how popular they are in the wealthy middle east countries (e.g. Saudis, UAE etc). Like, it's less Hollywood chic, but more Arab Sheikh...

[@Saphire0437]

The patrol with the Harrop supercharger would be bloody close to a like for like replacement seeing as its already 290kw without a blower. The Lexus LX570 is a better replacement than any landcruiser. Its still a landcruiser 200 underneath but gets a 270kw 5.7 v8 instead of the piss poor petrol in the 200. Diesel just isn't a contender.

[@brycem0]

If you want a hot hatch like a i30, just about everyone will not cross shop a Kona. Looking at Golf GTi/R. Focus RS/ST, Megane Mk3/Mk4 RS,Civic type R's. Just to name a few....

I'd argue that the nearest contender for the 78 series troopy is the Unimog. Its just as tough as the troopy plus it's used by many militaries and can seat as many if not possibly few more than the troopy. The i30N alternative I'd look at is the 2019-2022 Mazda 3 G20 Evolve. If you do a part 3 it would be interesting to see what the alternatives you pick for the following cars would be; Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Toyota Kulger Mazda CX-9 Subaru Forester Ford Transit (this one would be especially interesting to see your alternatives too) You guys keep going from strength to strength and are still able to stay humble with how fast the channel is gaining traction now so massive props to you all 👍. Looking forward to Friday's video to see if this time my hunch is actually right or not lol 😆.

Why is that such an odd claim?

[@shanerobertlangley]

@@ReDriven it was more sarcasm!! Love your videos. Trying to convince us loyal Toyota lovers to buy or should I say go back to a Nissan is like having my wife yelling out saying darling I’m watching John Cadogan, turn Redriven off and come and watch it. It just ain’t going to happen. In all seriousness once you’ve owned Toyotas I don’t think there’s any going back. Especially if you have lived remotely in Australia where most other manufacturers don’t even have a dealer.

Haha cheers!

But you could also save thousands by buying a pair of nice walking shoes, and ok sitting in the car is more comfortable, but think of all the money you will be saving, also by walking instead of sitting in the car you will also be losing weight and therefore can save money monthly which you would have lost for a gym membership. And all the money you saved could be used to finally fullfill those childhood dreams, especially these days when we can fly to space with Elon Musk. But if you spend all that money on this used hot hatch you will never get to space. Didnt we all want to become astronauts as kids. Well nows the chance. Why waste such opportunity on some used hot hatch which probably hasnt been looked after and has had couple of accident cause they are after all hot hatches. You could be in space. But till you are saving that money you could buy a 1992 Mitsubishi Space Wagon. Its the closest you will get to Space. But you will be having saved thousands cause its 1992 model, so at best prices cost 2000 AUD.

G63 is the most pointless car ever made. Its nothing more than a status symbol.

[@toobasaurus23]

Fiesta ST: looks like a hot hatch. Swift Sport: looks like a blocky turd you had to really push out after a big night on the turps.

[@ProductofNZ]

fun to drive turd tho...

[@markt9028]

You will have to explain to every non car person that the ST is something special. At least the swift sport looks sporty.

[@person.X.]

😆 True. Maybe better avoiding the yellow.

[@mohammadmehdi8711]

ReDriven you just turned the video off when you Camper the G63 with the patrol it's just crime you should compare it to the G400

[@andy2906]

Swift sport no where near an ST Fiesta. 😂 review is a joke

[@motogeezer71]

I wish i could down vote... Im pretty sure you just advertised the opposite of the generally known convention of vehicle quality based purely on the lack of computer chips... Im so sad too see you fall from grace to a point where i feel like unsubscribing!

[@ReDriven]

Wha? I'm so confused? - AK
